CONCLUSION
BRIEF HISTORY OF NASCO
Nasco group of company started in 1963 as northern fibre company with

the production of bags, carpet, rug in the central city jos of plateau state.
As effect of growth, the company emerged into branches which involve;

Nasco household, Nasco foods, Nasco pack, and Nasco fibre.
NASCO Household Products Limited was established in 1977, to

manufacture detergents, soaps and industrial chemicals like sulphonic
acid and glycerine.
NASCO Household Products Limited has an employment size of about

1,000 Skilled and unskilled. The detergent plant has an installed plant
capacity of 3 tonnes of detergent per hour and utilizes between 2-3
tonnes of detergent per hour.

DETERGENT PLANT
The detergent plant was where I carried out my industrial training
It has an installed plant capacity between 2.5 3 tonnes of detergent per

hour of storage tank.
The main function of the detergent plant is to produce dry detergent for
within the required density range for packaging and transportation with the
main objective of making profit
Detergent production is a neutralization process where acid (linear Alky

Benzene sulphonic acid) reacts with base (soda ash) and mixed together
with other fillers in a Crutcher to give detergent slurry as product. The slurry
is pumped to storage tank with the aid of seepex
(rotary) pump

EQUIPMENTS
crutchers : mixing of raw material into slurry form
vibratory filter; separation of fine products from undissolved solid
seepex pump; it is a rotary pump that adds energy to the slurry by

sending it to the booster tank ( storage tank)
booster and aging vessel: used to store the produced detergent slurry
high pressure pump: it is a reciprocating pump that pumps slurry to

the spray dryer
spray dryer: consists of about 12 atomizer nozzles that transforms the

slurry into droplet form to creat last surface area for drying
EQUIPMENTS CONT
Conveyor belt: conveys the dried product through the airlift to the
cyclone
Cyclone: the cyclone separates the fine particles from dust and sends
the dust back to the spray dryer.
Crystallizer: gives the detergent powder a uniform shape and adds

density to the powder.
Storage tanks; for storage of dried detergent
Pakona. Its a machine use for packaging of detergent
Analytical balance; this is used for measuring density of dried product

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT
The discharged air is environmentally friendly because clean air is

discharged from the cyclone into the atmosphere
CONCLUSION
The unit operations involve in detergent manufacturing is melting,

mixing, filteration, drying , sieving and packaging. Nasco household is a
reliable industry for practical experience and good training because it is
not small and it is not too large an industry.
