CHAUFFETEIN - Pre-project technical assistance on the boiler room for the Gampéla dyeing plant in Burkina-Faso
Main goals
The project "Burkina Faso and Benin: Creation of alternative income-generating activities for the communities living around the W-Arly-Pendjari complex" aims to contribute to improving the living conditions of the communities living around the complex environmental W-Arly-Pendjari by focusing on increasing income and the competitiveness of artisans and producers involved in the cotton value chain.
The study aims to define the methods of acquiring a sustainable fuel for the boiler room of the GIE CABES dyeing plant, from thermal energy sources available locally in quantity, quality and price.
Specific objectives
SO1. Comparative study of feasibility and costs (acquisition, installation in Gampéla, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso but above all monthly costs for the company managing the dyeing plant)
and analyzing the different options for supplying fuel for the dyeing plant including: the recommendation on the choice of fuel and the recovery technology and a file detailing the operating costs of the boiler room depending on the fuel selected.
SO2. Drafting of technical TORs for the purchase of the boiler and related equipment, installation, start-up, training and support in the use and management of the boiler as well as its additional components.
