Project Details

Description

Our organization focuses on renewable energy (solar & biomass) generation, energy management and farm-gate industrial cluster development. Energy poverty is a major challenge in Nigeria. 100million Nigerians have no access to electricity, and about 73% of rural dwellers in Nigeria are not connected to the National grid.

Currently, we have a prototype design for a water tube boiler that shows the specification and dimensions of materials needed. The dimensions will vary, depending on the volume of steam to be generated per hour and the pressure at which the stream will be delivered.

The energy produced will mainly be used as an off-grid electricity supply to farming communities. Additionally, our boilers will solely be for power generation, the steam exiting our turbine still has a lot of energy. We desire to harvest the steam exiting the turbine and use the energy in it for agricultural or industrial processing.

This project will improve the socioeconomic life of peasant farmers, by helping them:

process agricultural produce
reduce post-harvest wastage
promote food security
reduce poverty

Other Requirements

Our ideal candidate is someone who has good knowledge and experience in:

manufacturing and operations of water in tube boilers for power generation
Use of Inventor or Solid Works engineering software for designs, simulation and numerical analysis
Capacity to create technical instructions, and an operational manual for the process of water in-tube boiler manufacturing
BONUS: Experience in boiler production in Asia
