BoluwGoldenFarm:
I taught you should have handle 85% of the above challenges before starting the set

It's a very lucrative business but the major challenge is reliable supplyers of the kennel. Many ran out of the business because of this problem.
Some will collect money without supplying the kennel
Some will supply substandard kennel
Some will supply very very late
Some will supply less than what you paid for

What is new now is SEE AS YOU PAY

I wish you the best
We have kernel processors around, but we don't want to buy kernel from individual kernel crackers, we want to setup a chain of reliable kernel suppliers. The cost from suppliers will be 20 to 30% more expensive than buying from individual crackers but that bring in better reliability. We have a few suppliers now but we will need more to get reliable and constant supply.

We do not intend to pay anyone upfront for kernel. We will do same day payment. We will pay same day immediately the supply is made.

Getting reliable buyers for the cake has been a bit more challenging. You can't have it all, we are nearer to kernel supply and have access to more reliable electricity supply, but farther from industrial hubs in the East and in the West, so it is getting a bit more difficult to get committed buyers for the produced palm kernel cake.

We will overcome these with time I believe, moreso as we intend to do price matching. We intend to give buyers at the lowest price they can get for same quality and quantity.
AgricultureRe: Creating A 50ton Per Day Palm Kernel Processing Plant by Earthstorms(op): 12:30am On Dec 14, 2020
Well setting up a business is demanding.

It seems things just keep changing.

I was thinking we could start with a few tonnes of palm kernel oil production per day, turns out we need to get a minimum of 10 tons of palm kernel oil before we can get buyers to pick up the oil from the factory. So we had to get extra storage tanks. That means larger sum of working capital since more kernel is required.

So we now have to increase the storage capacity to 12 tons for oil.

The exciting part has been the automation part.

Writing software codes to automate the pumps, manage the oil settling, to keep digital track of all produced liquids.

Microcontrollers has really made automation easy. Automation is the way to go, machines don't complain, they don't complain, just feed them electricity and they run non stop.

Now just two main problem remain

1. Reliable supply of palm kernel.

2. Reliable buyers of palm kernel cake.

I will try and post some pictures of the setup we have come up with.

I must commend what you're doing and still encourage you to do more despite the harsh economic realities in Nigeria now . Palm Kernel Oil processing is definitely one thing I've got my eyes on for a long time but as a novice to the business, I need a detail business plan and professional advice on how to go about it . I am currently in Imo , I don't know if you can link me up with someone since you've got experience on it already.
What do you want to know?

Palm kernel business is big in some parts of Imo state. There used to be large scale processing of palm kernel between Elele in Rivers State and Owerri in Imo state, I guess that will still be the case today

*Ban the public use of burga
*Regulating the Activities and sermons of Imams
*Jettisoning Almajiri system totally
*Encouraging family planning amongst the locals
*Having Community policing but not must hand over every criminal to police for prosecution

You are not making sense.

You want to sell an electricity generation system without disclosing the form of input energy?

So what happens when your customer blindly give your money and you supply him with a nuclear power plant that he can not run.

Anyway the cost of this project is not stated, so your claim that you can provide 2mw plant with 150% of a cost that is not stated is suspect already.

The best you can do is stick a wind turbine for them, that is the only system that can be installed anywhere and last 25 years without fuel cost, apart from grid tied solar system. But that will cost you more than 2 million usd
PoliticsRe: Solar Hybrid Mini-Grid: REA Electrifies Ogun State Community After 200 Years by Earthstorms(m):
There is nothing to celebrate here if we look critically at the issues at stake.

This is a federal project, meaning it has the backing of the federal government. Something that needs to be pointed out is that Buhari has not prioritised the building of gas fired power plants in the past 5 years that he has been president.

Gas power plants are what we have that can cheaply provide enough power at affordable costs to meet the energy needs of the country.

Can the people in this community now set up welding workshops or hair dressing saloons based on the electricity they now have? What is the essence of a project that can not spur much needed development and economic activities?

These offgrid solar minigrids are waste of resources.

The battery systems in the picture are based on lead acid batteries, in less than 3 years time those batteries will need to be replaced and by then no one will be interested in providing the funds for the replacement and the people will be back in darkness.

Also the number of solar panels in the picture is inadequate to charge a 100kw system. So the system can not provide 100kw continuously.

The lead acid batteries will be damaged if that system is run beyond 25kw continuously from what I can see in the picture. I will give that system 1 year to pack up due to insufficient float charging of the batteries. The solar panels numbers need to be increased.

The question is why is Buhari not keen on building big gas powered electricity generation plants.

Obasanjo started many power plants under the NIPP scheme, Jonathan completed many of them, the northerners were complaining that the NIPP power plants were in the south where the gas supply is and the projects should be stopped. Buhari has simply stopped further development of the NIPP projects just like the northerners were asking for, why are we cutting out noses to spite our faces?

Nigerian government will never stop amazing people; you celebrate or commission 100KW of electricity.

100KW electricity can only be use by 20 houses that consume 5KW hour or by 10 houses that consume 10KW house.

5KW if they have 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining 1KW.

If for 10 houses that means houses with 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, 1 deep or standing freezer that start with 3KW, 1 and half horse power splint unity air-conditions 3.5KW, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining.

But here they set this 100KW solar electricity for a community with not less than 100 houses with 3 rooms in each house, plus semi industries such as garri companies and others.

And this is what a government can provide for a community with millions if not billion naira, 100KW is not enough for some house with enough electrical gadgets how much more a community.

That’s why we always hear power grid of here and there because the power company don’t estimate if what they supply can be enough or not, and people don’t care to know how much supply that come to their district all they know is that there’s light. And as soon the transformer carries above rated load it will break off.

The same will happens to this solar as soon it carried over load and the batteries discharge 85% of it power it will trip off until it recharge full again and ready to supply.

By the time everyone in and around this community connect up to 80 to hundred house to share 100KW what do you think that will happens? It will lead to battery damage whether is life4pon or lithium, lithium ion batteries. Nigerian government enjoy half baked project to siphon money.

Anyway with 150% of money use to build this 100KW solar to this community, I can use 150% of the money to provide 2MW of 24/7 electricity to the community for 25 years guarantee of stable light and return back in next 25 years to service it for another 25 years stable light supply.

This 2MW will serve 200 houses with 10KW per house or 400 houses with 5KW per house, no need to connect more than numbers of this house unless there’s increase in the MW. You don’t just connect light because there’s wire with current without knowing budget load of that district.

With our clean energy power plant you will enjoy your 24/7 light, and production companies, hotels, churches and residential home can be at peace knowing they are not spending penny on gas. Serve better than solar because it carries heavy duty electrical appliances.
What is the energy source for this system that you are describing? Is it a biomass plant?

chiefkpokp:
Your calculations is not right bros, becos u don't no d conditions giving to the end users that will have access to the power. Actually 100 houses can share 100kw, 50 houses can share 100kw, 20 houses can share 100kw...... This loads can be restricted to each household using prepaid meters(for solar power), for example each household will only be capped at 1kw daily.... With this daily cap.... The users knows how to regulate their loads themselves... The only way this 100kw systems will breakdown is if the household is not restricted... I guess u r an installer so am I, I have done an Installation in one big hostel at yabatek housing 50 self contains rooms, 50kw power systems was use on this project, and we installed meters restricted to 1kw per each apartment daily.... Dis users r been thought on how to economize this small power daily and anyone that roughly uses his 1kw, his power will authomatically cut off, until the next day.
Nice info. Can I get those type of self restricting meters to buy?

How can you make a man who isn't yet ready to marry decide to marry you just cause you got pregnant?



Please I need this secret asap.
It is simple.

If you get pregnant for a man of marriageable age and means, then ask him the way forward.

Give him two options, marriage before the baby is born or abortion with termination of the relationship.

Why have a baby for a man who is not willing to marry you?

Infact before going raw with a man, you should agree with him what happens if you get pregnant. You should not get pregnant first before asking jamb questions.
