ABSTRACT

Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill training programme which forms part of
the approved minimum academics standards in the various degree programmes offered in Nigerian
universities.The Industry Training Fund (which was itself established in 1971 by Degree 47) initiated the
SIWES in 1973.

My SIWES was undertaken at Seven up bottling company,1 Mobolaji Johnson


Avenue,Oregun,Ikeja,Lagos.Seven-Up Bottling Company Ltd is one of the largest manufacturing
companies in Nigeria, producing and distributing some of the nation's most-loved beverages in the
country like; Pepsi, 7Up, Mirinda, Teem, Mountain Dew, H2oH!, Lipton Ice Tea, Supa Komando Energy
Drink and Aquafina premium drinking water.

The report contains my 4 months SIWES Industrial training at Seven up.It includes the experience
gained from different department such as production,maintenance,ware house (raw material,packaging
material and finished goods) and Quality laboratory.
CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (S.I.W.E.S)

The Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (S.I.W.E.S) is a vital aspect of the students’ degree
program whereby the students are allowed to undergo some practical training outside their academic
environment through attachment to various establishments to acquire some practical knowledge.

It was established in 1973 by Nigeria graduates of tertiary institutions to solve the problems of lack of
adequate practical skills preparatory for employment in industries and to help the Industrial Training
Fund enabling Decree No. 47 of October 8, 1971. This aims at transforming the nation’s economy from
its total dependence on foreign expertise to a state of self-reliance, through the training and
development of Nigerians that would be competent to perform the specialized skills required to manage
essential sectors of the National Economy.

Participation in Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) has become a necessary pre-
condition for the award of diploma and degree certificate in specified discipline especially engineering or
technologically related courses in most higher learning institution in the country,
in accordance with the education policy of the government.

The Industrial Training (IT) which spans for a period of six months is undertaken by Four Hundred level
(400L) students in Ladoke Akintola University of Technology during the second semester of the academic
session. The SIWES is therefore a pre - requisite for the award of the degree of Bachelor of technology.

This is to enable student to practically apply all the theoretical knowledge gained in the classrooms to
real life situations and to expose them to what is obtainable in industries, companies, and
establishments, thereby, catching a wider practical view of their discipline or profession.

1.1.1 The industrial training fund (ITF)

Thisis solely responsible in the direct management and smooth running of the scheme. It also supervises
students undergoing training through the various ITF area offices. They examine and sign the
students’logbooks and the necessary ITF forms. Also, they supervise the payments of allowances to
students and institution-based supervisors.

1.1.2 Supervising agencies (NUC, NBTE and NCCE)

NUC - Nigerian UniversityCommission, NBTE- National Board for Technical Education and NCCE- National
Council for Colleges of Education. Their role is to select courses eligible for the participation of SIWES,
approval of master and placement lists etc.

1.1.3 Employers/ Industry

The following are the roles of employers/industry:

Accepting of students and deploying them to divisions relevant to their courses of study.

Appointing of industry-based supervisors to monitor the students.

Allow students to enjoy benefits such as allowance, meals, health care, transportation which are given
to staffs for the period of their attachment.

Check and sign their logbooks and other necessary forms and allow theinstitution- based supervisor to
visit the students.

1.1.4 The Institution

Their institution compiles and submits the master and placement list to the ITF. Their roles are:

1. Ensure that students’ placements are relevant to their courses of study

2. Prepare students for Industrial training through the organization of orientation programs
3. Appoint supervisors to students in their various places of attachment.

4. Beneficiaries of SIWES are undergraduate students in science, engineering, and technology disciplines
with duration of four month for polytechnic and colleges of education and six months for universities.

1.2 Aims and Objectives of Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme

Highlighted below are the aims and objectives of the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme
program:

1. To expose the students to industry-based skills necessary for a smooth transition from classroom to
the world of work.

2. To expose the students to the methods of work not taught in school and to enhance possible job
placement for student later in the future.

3. It provides students with the opportunity of being familiarized and exposed to the use and handling of
the relevant machineries and equipment which are not commonly found in their school system.

4. To provide students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in

the outside world.

5. To impact practical method of performing professional functions to undergraduate students of the


nations’ tertiary institutions.

6. To expose the students to the type of interpersonal relationship skills expected within the selected
industry and to boost the students’ information technology morale required for the profession.

7. To develop the skills of report writing in students and to improve the students’ interest and
competence in the chosen carrier.

8. To enlighten students on how Companies can be run smoothly in correlation with some available raw
materials and manpower around such environment.

9. To enlighten students on how Companies can be run smoothly in correlation with some available raw
materials and manpower around such environment.

3
To also make students discover the unknown potentials bestow on them when in school in correlation
with their practical knowledge.

And finally, to promote the technological advancement and general development of manpower and
labor force in Nigeria.

1.2 Logbook

A training logbook is designed to assist the students to keep accurate records of his/her training during
Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) and to give a brief presentation of the projects
executed by the company which include observations, comments and recommendations to both the
company and the University on ways of marrying the two institutions together to obtain the desire
result.

1.3 Brief History of Seven up Bottling Company


7up was created by Charles leiper Grigg who launched his St - Louis based Company the Howdy
Corporation in 1920.Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon - lime soft drink in 192.The
product,originally named Bib-labelli the rated lemon lime soda was launched 2 weeks before the wall
Street Crashof in 1929.

A Lebanese Mohammed El-Khalil who came to Nigeria in 1926 founded the company. Mohammed is the
father of the company's current chairman Faysal El-Khalil. The company metamorphosed from a very
successful transport business [El-Khalil Transport] in a bid to diversify the then largest transport
company in West Africa. In the early 1990s when Pepsi International took over Seven-Up International,
the company introduced the Pepsi brand in Nigeria.

Production of its first product, 7-Up started on October 1, 1960. The venture was a brainchild of the El-
Khalil family from Lebanon. The family patriarch had founded a transport firm in Nigeria and then
decided to divest into the soft drink market to compete with Leventis led Nigerian Bottling Company
(NBC).

Seven-up Bottling company started business in Nigeria in 1960 as a limited liability company. The Seven-
Up bottling company Plc is one of the largest independent manufacturer and distributor of well-known
and widely consumed brands of soft drinks in Nigeria from nine manufacturing plants.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Beverages Company Using Seven up as a case study

In the beverage company,there are various department in seven up ( as listed in chapter one). Words
encounter in each department will be briefly discussed.

2.1.1 Water Treatment

WaterTreatment Plant

Water treatment plant is the design plant that shows how water is being treated to make it useful
forproduction. Water Treatment is the process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate
for aspecific end-use. The end- use may be drinking water,industrial water supply,water recreation
irrigation river flow maintenance or many other uses.

2.1.1.1 Definition of some terms in water treatment

Coagulation is a process used to neutralize charges and forma gelatinous mass to trap particles thus
forming a mass large enough to settle or be trapped in the filter, it involves adding iron or aluminum
salts.

Flocculation is the separation of a solution, commonly the removal of sediment from a fluid. The
difference between coagulation and flocculation is that coagulation is achemical process while
flocculation is a physical process.

Sedimentation is a physical water treatment process using gravity to remove the suspended solids from
water.

Filtration is the process of removing particles or suspended impurities in water through a filte

PH and Conductivity

PH means potential of hydrogen and it is effectively a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions i.e.
protons in a substance. Conductivity is a measure of the ability of water to pass an electrical current
because dissolved salts and other inorganic chemicals conduct electrical current. Conductivity is
important in ion exchange water treatment because it provides a measure of what dissolved in water a
higher conductivity value indicates that there are more chemicals dissolved in the water.

Regeneration

Regeneration is a process that takes ion exchange resin beads that are exhausted and removes ions that
have been picked up during the in- service cycle so the resin can continue to be used. Regeneration of
an ion exchange resin bed involves multiple processes including;
1.Back wash

2.Chemical injection

3.Slow rinse

4.Fastrinse

Backwash is done by running water backward through the bottom of the bed

Chemical injection is the addition of regenerate chemical such as hydrochloric acid, caustic to the bed

Injection of an acid

Acid is injected into the cation and mixed bed during regeneration, it is introduced in an up flow
regenerant header. It lowers the PH value of the water to around 7, to eliminate the soda taste and
improve the effectiveness

Injection of caustic soda

Caustic soda is injected into the anion and mixed bed during regeneration. It is introduced in a down
flow regenerant header. It raises the PH value of the water to a level that minimizes the corrosion by
increasing it soda taste.

Regeneration interval

Regeneration is done where there is an excessive rise in conductivity, and this shows that there are
dissolved chemicals in the water.

Back washing is the way of cleaning a drinking water system which is a means of reversing the flow and
increasing the velocity at which water pass through the filter.

Rising is done after backwashing to allow water to flow back down through the sand to flush out any
remaining dirt and debris from the filter and piping. Rising is important after backwashing because the
backwash lifts and flushes the sand, the rinse reseats the sand into original position for optimum
filtration.

2.1.1.2 Ion exchange as a method of treating water

Ion exchange is a water treatment method where one or more undesirable ionic contaminants are
removed from water by exchange with another non objectionable or less objectionable ionic substance.
It involves removal of calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in the hard water.

Ion exchange resin or polymer is a resin that acts as a medium for ion exchange. It is an insoluble matrix
normally in the form of small micro beads, usually white or yellowish. It is of two types which are the
cations and anion.
Stages of ion exchange
Pressure sand filter
Sand filtration is used for the removal of suspended matter as well as floating and sinkable particles. The
water flows vertically through a fine bed of sand or gravel,particles are removedby way of absorption or
physical encapsulation.
In a pressure sand filter, water is gone throughmultilayer of filter media comprising reviewed sand,rocks,
and rock layers.The contaminants in the water are caught in the media and the sifted water goes into
the release manifold at the base of the tanks.

Picture.

Activated carbon filter


Activated carbon filter removes certainorganics such as unwanted taste and odours and micropollutants
from water and gases.Activated carbon filter work by adsorping,in which pollutants in the fluid to be
treated are trapped inside the pore structure of a carbon substrate . the substrate is made of many
carbon granules each of which is itself highly porous. As a result, the substrat has a large surface area
within which contaminants can be trapped.

Picture
Cations

cations resins are positive charged resin which attract positive ions such as calcium, magnesium,
cations release hydrogen ions or other positive charges.Cation resin formular : R-H

R-H + M+ = R-M + H+

Anionsresins are negative charged resin which attract negatives ions (cations) such as arsenic, nitrate,
bicarbonate (HCO), carbonate (co), sulphate (SO), hydroxide (OH) and replace them with chloride.
Anion exchange resin formular –NR4+OH- + HCL = -NR4+CL- + H2O

Picture

Mixedbedion exchange resins are mainly used in water purification for polishing process water to
achieve demineralized water quality. As the name states consists of strong acid cation exchange and
strong base anion exchange

During the cycle, water enters the unit through the inlet distributor at the top of the vessel and is evenly
distributed across the resin bed. As the water flows through the resin bed, its ionic contaminants are
exchanged for H and OH ions on the resin beds thus removes the ionic contaminants from the water.
The treated water then passes through the false bottom under drain strainers to the outlet piping at the
bottom of the unit.

Picture

Micron filter
Micron filter are filters which filter the water to designated micron rating for example 5-micron
filter. 5 micron-filters are the most popular and it is installed in an upward stream of ion exchange
columns (mixed bed) to remove particles and downstream to remove the resin that could pass through
under drains and clog a pure water system.
Picture

Ultraviolentsystem
Ultraviolent disinfects water containing bacteria and viruses and can be effective against
protozoa like Giardia lamblia cysts or Cryptosporidium oocysts. It penetrates harmful pathogens in the
water and destroys them by attacking their genetic core (DNA).

Picture

Reverse osmosis water treatment


Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane
(synthetic lining) to filter out unwanted molecules and large particles such as contaminants and
sediments like chlorine, salt, and dirt from drinking water. It gets water clean down to a molecular level,
leaving only pure water behind. The fresh water produced is called the permeate. The concentrated
water left over is called the waste or brine.
Semi permeable membrane has small pores that block contaminants but allow water molecules to flow
through. In osmosis, water becomes more concentrated as it passes through the membrane to obtain
equilibrium on both sides. Reverse osmosis, however, blocks contaminants from entering the less
concentrated side of the membrane.

Picture

2.1.2. Effluent treatment

Effluent treatment is also known as sewage treatment and it is a type of waste treatment which aims to
remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to dischargeto the
surrounding environment or intended re use application,thereby preventing water pollution from the
raw sewage discharge.
Sludge is the residue that accumulates a sewage treatment plants. It can also be refered to as solid,
semisolid or slurry residual material that is produced as a bye-product of wastewater treatment
processes.

PICTURE
2.1.2.1 Chemicals use for sewage treatment

Chlorine is a powerful oxidant that will kill or inactivate most pathogenic organism that are harmful to
bacteria,viruses, and othermicrobes in water andto prevent the spread of water borne diseases such as
cholera.

Limeis used to increase the alkalinity of the wastewater. Lime controls the PH, neutralization of acidic
wastewater. When alum and ferric chloride are used to coagulate suspended matter,lime is added to
counteract the low PH induced by these acidic salts and to provide the necessary alkalinity for efficient
nitrogen removal.

Alum sulfate is most widely used in municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment, it
removesturbid, suspended solids,total organic carbon (TOC) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
Alum is a coagulant and it comprised of positively charged (AL) molecule that when added to the water
and mixed accomplish this charge neutralization.

2.1.2.2 Aeration treatment

Aeration treatment is the treatment using aeration tank, aerating brings water air in close contact to
remove dissolved gases such as carbondioixide and oxidizes in the effluent. It brings water and air in
contact by exposing drops or thin sheets of water to the air or by introducing small bubbles of air and by
letting them rise through the water. The scrubbing process cause by the turbulence of aeration
physically removed dissolved gases from the solution and allows them to escape into the surrounding.

2.1.2.3 Stages of aeration treatment

Thestages of aeration treatment involve;

1.Waste holding tank: this is used to stored wastewater from the factory

2.Aeration tank: this is a large rectangular tank in which the wastewater is put into which air is pumped
for the treatment of effluent by a blower.

3.Air blower: this supply air into the waste in the tank to mix the waste and chemicals together.

4.Dosage tank: this is used for preparation and storage of chemicals used in the treatment.

5.Sludge bed: is the most widely used method for sludge dewatering. Sludge drying involves natural
ways of drying by mechanical ways of removing water content

6.Filtration bed: this is used to store the filtrate from the sludge bed
7.Pressure filter: this filters the filtrate and removes all suspended particles.

2.Ammonia

3.Chlorine

4.Carbondioxide

5.Hydrogen sulfide

6.Methane

7.Iron and manganese

2.1.3 Boiler

A boiler also known as a steam boiler is a type of heat exchange system where water is heated to its’
boiling point via combustion of a fuel blown through a tube submerged in water. The heat produced in
this system is then rejected into the system as steam. This steam flows through pipe systems to the
equipment that is being heated, whether it be hot water coils in air handling units, or other water
heating equipment.The steam boiler for use in various processes or heating applications such as
cooking, water heating, or boiler-based power generation. It is essential part of thermal power plants.

Diesel oil boiler has a widely usage,it can be use in pharmaceutical industry, chemical
industry,light,textile,building materials,farming,food, and beverages.

2.1.3.1 Working principle of a boiler

A steam boiler operates through a combustion reaction between fuel and air, which ignites a flame into
tubes that submerged in water. The heat from this combustion is then transferred from the tube to the
water in which the tubes are submerged. The water is then evaporated into steam. The steam is then
taken into piping to be used in the specific heating application.
After the heat from the steam is taken and transferred into the process needing heat, the steam
condenses back into water as condensate. This can be collected and returned to the boiler to be used
through a condensate return line. This saves the amount of needed make-up water, as well as needed
chemicals since the condensate has evaporated away dissolved solids.
2.1.3.2 Revomax steam generator
Revomaxis a versatile, fully automatic, instant steam generating range of boilers designed for safe and
reliable operations. Easy to install and commission, these time-tested boilers require very little
maintenance. It features a specially designed furnace and combustion system to burn difficult heavy oils
and it flexibility between light and heavy oil help respond to fluctuating fuel prices.

PICTURE

2.1.3.3 Boiler blow down and blow down time

Blow down is the removal of water from a boiler. Its purpose is to control boiler water
parameters within prescribed limits to minimize scale, corrosion, carryover, and other specific problem.
Blow down time gives an indication of the extent to which the coil tubes are scaled up and
should be measured when boiler is hot i.e., has run for at least 20-30 minutes.
2.1.4 Pumps and Compressors

2.1.4.1 Pumps

Moving fluids plays a major role in the process of a plant. Liquid can only move onits own
power, and then only from top to bottom or from a high pressure to a lower pressure system. This
means that energy to the liquid must be added, to moving the liquid from a low to a higher level. To add
the required energy to liquids, pumps are used. There are many different definitions of the name PUMP,
but this is best described as:“A machine used for the purpose of transferring quantities of fluids and or
gases from oneplace to another”.
2.1.4.2 Compressor

Compressor is a device for increasing the pressure of a gas by mechanically decreasing its volume. It is
the most frequently compressed gas but natural gas, oxygen, nitrogen, and other industrially important
gases are also compressed. The three general types of compressors are positive displacement,
centrifugal, and axial.
2.1.4.3 Differences between pumps and compressor

Moving hydraulic fluid through a system requires either a pump or compressor. Both achieve this goal,
but through different operating methods. Pumps can move liquids or gases. Compressors typically only
move gas due to its natural ability to be compressed. Pumps and compressors both have very high
pressure rises.
2.1.4.4. Types of Compressors

There are different types of compressors that move air into a chamber. Most compressors are positive-
displacement compressors in which, by forcing air into the chamber, volume isdecreased to compress
the air. Reciprocating or piston-type air compressors pump air by using pistons and one-way valves to
guide air into the cylinder.
2.1.4.5 Types of Pumps
Two basic types classify pumps: Positive displacement pumps and Centrifugal pumps.
a. Positive displacement pumps: move fluid by moving a fixed amount of it and forcing thefixed amount
into a discharge pipe. They can produce the same flow at a given speed regardless of the discharge
pressure making them constant flow machines. Positive displacement pumps can be classified as
reciprocating pumps (piston, plunger, and diaphragm), power pumps, steam pumps, and rotary pumps
(gear, lobe, screw, and vane, regenerative or peripheral, and progressive cavity).
b. Reciprocating pumps: consist of a cylinder with a plunger in which the retract strokecauses suction
valves to open drawing fluid into the cylinder. The forward stroke push the liquid into the discharge
valve.
i. Diaphragm pumps: pressurize the hydraulic oil via the plunger, which flexes the diaphragm in the
pumping cylinder. Typically, diaphragm pumps are for hazardous and toxic fluids, especially during
chemical injection
ii. Centrifugal pump: converts input power to kinetic energy by accelerating liquid in animpeller.
Centrifugal pumps are constant head machines. A volute pump is the most common centrifugal pump.
Here, the fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller rotating athigh speed. As the fluid
accelerates radially outward from the pump chasing, a vacuum is created at the impeller’s eye. This
vacuum creates more suction and draws in more fluid into the pump. The maximum head is determined
by the outside diameter of the pump impeller and the rotating shaft speed.
2.1.5 Air Dryer :The basic function of the air dryer is to remove moisture from the air by cooling it with a
refrigerant. Thus, the water vapor is condensed, and the air can be compressed. The result is dry
compressed air, which can be used in compressed air equipment without causing any damage.
2.1.5.1Air Receiver Tank:Air receivers, commonly referred to as vessels or tanks are used to store
compressed air before it enters into the piping system and or equipment. In simpler terms, air receivers
act as a buffer mechanism between the compressor and the fluctuating pressure caused by the changing
demand.

2.1.6 Valves

Valves are essential parts of any piping system used to control the flow and pressure of
contents, whether that is oil, gas, liquid, or vapors. Here is our list of 10 of the most used oil and gas
valves in the industry and the reasons for their existence, with details. These are some valves but used in
IFS:
2.1.6.1 ARV or ARC valves
Acronyms for 'Automatic Recirculation Valve' and 'AutomaticRecirculation Control' these valves
are multi-functional but have the primary purpose of ensuring that a pre-determined minimum flow is
assured through centrifugal pump always.
Picture

2.1.6.2 Ball valves

A ball valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that used a ball-shaped disk to control a flow. If the
valve is opened, the holes in the ball stay in line with the body inlet allowing contents to pass. The
combination of materials means the ball valve can operate at temperatures as low as -200 deg C and as
high as 500 deg C. Mainly used for air, gases and liquids, ball valves are quick to turn on and off and have
a tight sealing with a low torque.

2.1.6.3 Breather valves

It is also known as vacuum relief valves as a special type of relief valve designed for tank protection. The
valves prevent the build-up of excessive pressure or vacuum which can unbalance the system or damage
the storage vessel. Pressure and vacuum protection levels are usually controlled with weighted pallets
and can be combined to meet the required settings.

2.1.6.4 Butterfly valves

Quarter-turn rotational motion valves, the butterfly valves are used to stop, start and regulate flow. Easy
and fast to open, the valve usually comes equipped with a gearbox where the hand wheel by gear is
connected to the stem. This simplifies the operation of the valve, but at the expense of speed. These
valves must also be installed a minimum of 6 pipe diameters away from other line elements. As well as
being lightweight, and quick to use, the butterfly valves are available in large sizes and can cope with
low-pressure drop and high-pressure recovery.

Picture
2.1.6.5 Gate valves

Gate valves are primarily designed to start or stop a flow when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum
flow restriction is needed. In service, these valves are pretty much kept either fully open, or fully closed.
When turned open, the disc of the gate is completely removed allowing contents to pass. Although this
gives the valve good shut-off properties and isbidirectional, they cannot be quickly opened or closed and
sensitive to vibration when open.

Picture

2.1.6.6 Globe valves

Typically used for cooling water systems, transporting fuel oil and turbine lube oil systems, a globe valve
is a linear motion valve used to stop, start, and regulate flow. Conventionally used for isolation and
throttling services, the globe has become the world's most common types of valves. With a good shut
off ability, available in tee, wye, and angle patterns and easy to machine the valve seats - it’seasy to see
why they are so popular.

2.1.6.7 Plug valves

A plug valve uses a tapered or cylindrical plug to stopor start a flow. In open position, the plug-passage is
in one line with the inlet and outlet ports. If the plug is rotated from the open position, the solid part of
the plug blocks the port and stops the flow. These are quick to turn off, smaller in size compared to most
valves and have minimal resistance flow.

2.2 REVERSE OSMOSIS


Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane (synthetic lining)
to filter out unwanted molecules and large particles such as contaminants and sediments like chlorine,
salt, and dirt from drinking water.

2.2.1 Equipments and Facilities Used in Reverse Osmosis Plant


1. PH Dosing Tank:the process of treating the water in a power plant's water or steam generating system
with various chemicals to protect the metallurgy of the water system.
2. Antiscadal Dosing Tank:Antiscalant is a pretreatment water additive for reverse osmosis system that is
highly effective in preventing the membranes from scaling. Before the feed water enters the reverse
osmosis membrane, an antiscalant is injected into the water and sent the through the system.
3.Dosing Tank:Dosing pumps are oscillating positive displacement pumps designed to add a variety of
media to a process at a highly accurate flow rate. The pump type is used for a wide variety of
applications and industries, from wastewater treatment to food processing.
4.RO Feed UV: The UV light kills all the disease-causing germs and bacteria and makes the water safe for
consumption and household uses. Although the UV lamp kills all pathogens in the water tank, the dead
bodies of the microorganisms remain in the water. To solve this problem, RO water purification comes.
5.Cartridge Filter 5 Micron:5-micron filter, for example, removes particles as small as 5 microns.
Anything smaller passes through the pores. Sediment filters are the most common type of micron filter.
Sediment filters are similar to screen doors that allow air in and keep bugs out, except the debris
blocked by the filter is microscopic.

2.2.2 Air Binding:The clogging of a filter, pipe, or pump due to the presence of air released from water.
Air entering the filter media is harmful to both the filtration and backwash processes.

3.3 How does a reverse osmosis system work?


A reverse osmosis system removes sediment and chlorine from water with a pre-filter before it forces
water through a semi permeable membrane to remove dissolved solids. After water exists theRO
membrane, it passes through a post-filter to polish the drinking water before it enters a dedicated
faucet. Reverse osmosis systems have various stages depending on their number of pre-filters and post-
filters. A reverse osmosis system removes dissolved solids like arsenic and fluoride through the RO
membrane. An RO system also includes sediment and carbon filtration for a broad spectrum of
reduction. The carbon filters in an RO system remove chlorine and bad taste and odors, and the
sediment filter removes dirt and debris.

Stages of RO systems

The RO membrane is the focal point of a reverse osmosis system, but an RO system.

also includes other types of filtrations. RO systems are made up of 3, 4 or 5 stages of filtration. The filter
is called either pre-filters or post-filters depending on whether water passes through them before or
after it passes through the membrane.

Each type of system contains one or more of the following filters:

Sediment filter: reduces particles like dirt, dust, and rust.

Carbon filter: Reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, and other contaminants that give
water a bad taste or odor.

Semi-permeable membrane: Removes up to 98% of total dissolved solids (TDS)

After filtration, water flows to the storage tank. Where it is held until needed. A reverse osmosis system
continues to filter water until the storage tank is full and thenshuts off.

Ultraviolet: this kills the microns present in the water

Dosage injector: this pumped the dosage like chlorine into the water.

3.4 Reboiler Plant:

Reboilers are heat exchangers typically used to provide heat to the bottom of industrial distillation
columns. They boil the liquid from the bottom of a distillation column to generate vapors which are
returned to the column to drive the distillation separation. The heat supplied to the column by the
reboiler at the bottom of the column is removed by the condenser at the top of the column.

Proper reboiler operation is vital to effective distillation. In a typical classical distillation column, all the
vapor driving the separation comes from the reboiler. The reboiler receives a liquid stream from the
column bottom and may partially or completely vaporize that stream. Steam usually provides the heat
required for the vaporization.

3.4.1 Starting a boiler

The following are operating procedure I took in starting a boiler:


The valve on water supply line was opened

I observed control lamp was observed to be on

The main steam valve was closed, and the auxiliary valve was opened

The fill switch was on to fill up the coil

The unit was fired when water started coming out of the auxiliary steam valve by put the FIRE switch on.

After the pressure of the steam that came out increased, the main steam valve was opened to send in
the steam and the auxiliary steam valve was closed.

3.4.2 Stopping a boiler

The following are operating procedure I took in stopping a boiler:


The steam stop valve was fully closed

The FIRE switch was off

Blow down of the boiler was done

The FILL switch was on to filled up the coil with water for the next operation

The electric main switch was put off

Dripped oil, water was cleaned off from the unit

The outlet valve of soft water tank and fuel oil service tank was closed

3.4.3 Blow down a boiler

The following are operating procedure of blowing down a boiler:


The main steam valve was closed

The FILL-O-FIRE switch on the control panel was put in off position

The blow down valve was fully opened

The blow down time was observed by measured the time the steam pressure dropped from 10kg/cm 2 to
2kg/cm2
The blow down valve was closed

The coil was cooled by filled the new water.

3.5 Compressors: a pump or other machine for reducing volume and increasing pressure of gases in
order to condense the gases, drive pneumatically powered machinery, etc

Picture

3.5.1 Air Compressor:An air compressor is a pneumatic device that converts power (using an electric
motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e., compressed
air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank,
increasing the pressure. When the tank's pressure reaches its engineered upper limit, the air
compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use.[1] The kinetic
energy provided by the compressed air can be used for a variety of applications such as pneumatic tools
as it is released and the tank depressurizes. When tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the air
compressor turns on again and re-pressurizes the tank. An air compressor must be differentiated from a
pump because it works for any gas/air, while pumps work on a liquid.

Picture

Ammonia Compressor:The ammonia compressor's work principle is to provide a continuous flow of


ammonia gas in a closed loop system. The ammonia is compressed at a high pressure until it reaches the
second heat exchanger outlet. The ammonia is then saturated and discharged. This makes the system
cool and stable. The evaporator temperature of ammonia is 5deg F, while that of R-22 is 69deg F. This
makes the Refrigeration ammonia compressor more energy-efficient than the R-22 system. It requires
less energy to operate, and it reduces operating costs.

Anhydrous ammonia is a non-combustible chemical, but high concentrations of ammonia vapor can be
explosive. Likewise, any combustible materials in the system increase the fire hazard. Mercury can
combine with ammonia to form an unstable explosive compound. To mitigate this potential hazard,
ammonia compressors are often equipped with safety features. These features make them an excellent
choice for facilities that use ammonia in their processes.

3.5.2 Dry Compressor: As inferred from its name, this equipment works by cooling air down. This drying
process occurs through piping connected to an air compressor. They tend to achieve dew point levels of
2(C) to 10(C), and are fairly energy efficient.

3.6 Co2 Plants:CO2 is produced during fermentation of alcoholic beverages and used in tank counter-
pressure and dispensing systems. At higher levels, CO2 can become toxic or can suffocate workers by
displacing the oxygen from the air they breathe. Because it is heavier than air, CO2 can pool in low-lying
areas.

Where does CO2 for the beverage industry come from?

Carbon Dioxide in food and beverage processing

Much of it is produced in synthesis gas plants such as ammonia/ hydrogen production, in breweries
through the fermentation process, or, to a lesser level, combustion of fossil fuels such as natural gas.

3.6.1 Techniques In CO2 Plant:There are three methods of CO2 capture: pre-combustion carbon capture,
post-combustion carbon capture, and the oxy-combustion carbon capture method.

Flow Chart Diagram:

3.6.2 :Preparation of MEA:MEA is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with aqueous ammonia.
Consumer uses include the manufacturing of electrical and electronic products, metal and paper
products, as well as personal care products. Monoethanolamine is a liquid packed in bulk (rail,
tanktruck, Isotank), totes (IBC tanks), and drums.

3.6.3 How is MEA Trapped:(CO2) is the main greenhouse gas that is leading to dramatic changes in
global warming and climate change. The concentration of this gas has increased significantly in the last
years, currently reaching values around 400 ppm. The industry accounts for almost 40% of worldwide
CO2 emissions, which is an important point of concern Several strategies are being considered in order
to reduce CO2 emissions: post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, oxyfuel combustion, and
electrochemical separation . A considerable list of large-large-scale integrated CO2 capture and storage
(CCS) projects in the stages of operation or execution can be found on the Global CCS Institute's
websitewhich is included Post-combustion plants are found in the execution (in construction) stage.

However, if the use of MEA is extended as the main solvent for CO2 capture in post-combustion
processes, an economic and environmental global impact will occur. Recent research is focused on the
use of this solvent in a more technically and economically effective way. The objective of this manuscript
is to show the global implications of using MEA as the main solvent for CO2 capture, and review briefly
the main research that is focused on the optimization of the MEA process as well as other strategies that
try to develop alternatives to the use of MEA. After reading this manuscript, the reader should have
developed an initial criterion on the implications of using MEA in a global scale and the degree of
current applicability of other alternatives.

3.7 Dissolving Sugar: 8000litres of water is been added after inspection of CIP,the agitator is been
control by the pump for stirring
Powered sugar dissolves faster in hot water than it does in cold water because hot water has more
energy than cold water.When water is heated,the molecules gain energy and this move faster.As they
move faster,they come in contact with the sugar more often causing it to dissolve faster.The Temp it
generates is 85 degree celcius.

Picture

3.7.1 Arrangement of Sugar:Wooden Pallets ( 40 bags each).

From the wall to the pole - one compartment

One compartment contain 1200 bags.

Categories of sugar used: Dangote,Golden penny and BUA.

900 bags of BUA,Golden penny (600) Truck.

3.7.2 Production if Simple Sugar :syrup rooms are complete plants used for the preparation of syrups
used in the production of the final beverage, such as:

soft drinks (carbonated and non-carbonated)

energy drinks

spritzers

juice beverages

cocktails and many more.

Our soft drink plants are used for the preparation of syrups used in the production of the final beverage.
ZIP designs and manufactures customized syrup rooms for the individual needs of our customers. Being
flexible in both process type and automation, we offer complete systems and individual parts to
manufacture all kinds of soft drinks for the beverage industry. ZIP syrup rooms are available with up to
60.000 liter per hour capacities. The whole system is manufactured 100% at our facility and each of its
components is made of AISI 316L quality stainless steel. The whole machinery complies with the strict
hygienic sanitary regulations of the industry.

The range of goods is slightly unlimited and switching between product types can be executed quickly
and easily. When it comes to the arrangement of syrup rooms, the most important factor is the
production concept. This can be carried out continuously and in batch format. The syrup room is
designed as a group of compact modular units that can be expanded if required.

Our soft drink plants consist of the following main elements

Container station
Sugar hopper

Continuous sugar dissolver

Powder dissolver tanks and station

Concentrate tank

Mixing tank

Sugar buffer tank

Syrup conveying system

CIP system

Automation :As with all automated ZIP machinery, syrup rooms run on our proprietary ZIPMATIC
software that makes processes easily traceable, customizable, reliable, and cost-efficient through recipe-
controlled product manufacturing. This system hardly requires any manual intervention for production
as the whole manufacturing process is automated. The process measurements and information can be
tracked on a graphic, user-friendly interface. Besides automation, the short conveying routes and the
high heat recovery levels help to reduce production losses and to assure the constant quality of the
product.

3.7.3 Batching Process:In case of batch dissolution systems, water is first loaded into the tank, then it is
heated to the dissolving temperature and then the sugar is added. Once that the whole sugar is at the
right temperature, the batch is unloaded.

3.8 CIP Station: A section in process area,where cleaning is taking place.CIP simply means clean in place
ie cleaning of the equipment without displacing.

3.9 RAW MATERIAL WARE HOUSE

A raw material warehouse plays a key role in the manufacturing process: it stores materials until they
are needed on the production lines. Managing goods that are difficult to handle — e.g., plastics, abrasive
materials and liquid components — makes stages such as storage and order picking more complex.
Effectively designing your facility and flows of goods to production can ensure the uninterrupted supply
of raw material to the manufacturing lines.
A raw material warehouse is a facility that stores components or materials that will subsequently be
used on production lines to manufacture products. These types of centres house unprocessed goods,
i.e., those that haven’t undergone a production process. Besides storing raw material, these facilities are
charged with ensuring the smooth supply of goods to the production lines.

Raw material warehouses are usually located near the manufacturing area to speed up the movement
of products. In supply-chain procurement, syncing logistics facilities with production centres is essential
for efficient operations.

Raw material storage calls for maximum inventory control: determining the amount of stock necessary
and making sure that materials are received regularly are decisive factors for supplying the production
lines nonstop.

Product traceability — a basic requirement in any logistics facility — is especially critical in a raw
material warehouse. The logistics manager must know the exact location of all the goods to guarantee
quality standards in the production process.

In these facilities, raw materials are deposited into different types of unit loads, mainly boxes,
containers, or pallets. When planning the design of the centre and the storage systems, it’s important to
take into account variables like the type of goods to be housed, the company’s manufacturing needs and
product demand.The ware house layout design is crucial for supplying production. This is because
properly distributing the space facilitates storage and the movement of goods to the manufacturing
lines.

What are the objectives of a raw material warehouse?

A raw material warehouse should have clearly defined objectives to enable the following:

Preserve the materials’ quality and safety standards. The facility should be outfitted with systems that
keep the raw materials in good condition and move them to the production lines safely.

Control stock management. The warehouse should have tools that provide tight control of available
inventory and minimise the risk of stockouts in the production plant. The logistics manager must
monitor metrics such as safety stock (additional goods stored for contingencies) and the reorder point
(when to purchase more products from a supplier and in what quantity).
Ensure the supply of raw materials. The warehouse receives goods from suppliers and dispatches them
when a production order is issued requesting that raw material. The facility should be configured to
adapt to manufacturing needs and guarantee supply to the production lines.

Examples of raw material warehouses

The main logistics function of a raw material warehouse is to maintain a continuous flow of goods to the
production lines. In these centres, it’s standard practice to replace conventional handling equipment
with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Examples are stacker cranes for pallets or boxes,
which expedite the movement of raw materials.

Raw material warehouse: the step to effective production

Setting up raw material warehouses near production lines fosters streamlined supply-chain
procurement: it enables continuous flows of goods between the storage and manufacturing areas.

Work Done in the Ware House are:

1) Introducing to standard operating procedure of receiving, storing, and dispensing of raw material

2) Receiving of 200bags of Caustic

3) Checking the physical appearance of the raw material received

organizations, and the lack of formidable existing industry partnerships between the university and key
industry players.

2.Lack of dexterities or flexibility in responsibilities given to interns.

3.Access to executives/authorities is nearly impossible.


4.Emphasis on errands being the major phase of learning rather than the standard phase of learning.

5.Problematic situations that warrant high tasking knowledge capacity were not coming forth.

6.Being only engineering student.

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Conclusion
My four months field experience was practically intensive and enlightening as I was exposed to the
practical aspect of many theories. I appreciate been given the opportunity to learn better and I also
commend the teams in charge of this experience. I benefited a lot in the field attachment in a way I
managed to apply the theoretical knowledge from the university into practice through the many
activities/tasks/assignments I was instructed to do. I got different ideas from the different people
(employees) at the Organization and through interacting with other interns and this contributed a lot on
the knowledge and experience.

Finally, my internship was fun and therefore I would encourage that the school continues to give
students this opportunity to do their academic requirement of internship from this organization. At the
conclusion of this program, certain ideas, and myth i heard about the beverage and personal care
industry was debunked. I found it to be an interesting branch of beverage practice that is almost always
exciting with bundles of knowledge to uncover every step of the way, and the potential adaptability to
change and development.

5.2 Recommendations

5.2.1 SIWES

1.SIWES has always been a platform for the formation of competent and productive technical
manpower for the economy

2.The establishment of a national commission of student industrial training or a national board for
cooperative education should be proposed to oversee the implementation of SIWES at the national
level.

3.The federal government should make adequate provision in the annual budget for proper funding of
SIWES. A view of the potential of the scheme to enhance the quality of the pool of technical skills
available to the economy

4.The stipulation that employers should accept students for SIWES should be strengthened.

5.The ITF should ensure that the back log in payment of student allowance is cleared urgently to remove
the negative image being created for SIWES

6.Tertiary institutions need to put more efforts in securing quality places of industrial.

5.2.2 SEVEN UP BOTTLING COMPANY PLC

1.Job enlargement: The management should see to it that they carry out job enlargement and
enrichment such that it mitigates the conflict amongst employees for roles and tasks. This will ensure
good industrial relations between the supervisors and subordinates at the organization.
2.There should be more opportunities for students to do internship in the organization.

3.Serious supervision to the workers and students: The organization should increase and ensure more
supervision over the employees to work effectively and also eliminate workers who relax, work lazily
and perform actively after seeing their supervisors.

4.I would like to suggest for Human Resource to provide a meeting with student weekly or monthly to
ensure the welfare of the students are not ignored. It is important for ensuring the health, welfare, and
fitness of students in the company.

5.Graduate Trainee Programme.

5.2.3 University

1.Constant supervision of students: I recommend the university to carry out constant supervision and
monitoring of students during the internship training to encourage them to perform the duties fully and
accurately. This will also put a close link between the academic supervisors and the field supervisors to
foster appropriate assessment of what interns are doing in the field.

2.Secure Internship placements for students: The University should help students to secure internship
positions according to their respective programs undertaken at the University through giving students
recommendations to ease their training periods and avoid the ache gotten by students in search of
internship placements.
