Eager to support African countries in their efforts to revalorize by-products from cashew, cocoa, and other agricultural crops, ORPIA Afrique offers industrialists turnkey solutions to locally and optimally exploit the generated biomass.
Our Solutions
MenuOur services
ORPIA Afrique offers various services to agricultural residue producers.
As part of a joint venture, we put in place an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract so that ORPIA Afrique can support their partners throughout the project.
Technical support across the entire value chain
Long-term strategic partnership
1.
Project feasibility study
2.
Engineering studies
3.
Supply and installation of industrial units
4.
Commissioning
5.
Operator Training
6.
Technical support and maintenance
7.
Marketing & Distribution
We are also able to provide support throughout the plant's operational life through an O&M (Operation & Maintenance) contract. Plant maintenance services and technical support ensure that we are always able to maintain predefined productivity levels.
In order to ensure the profitability of the Joint Venture, and because we believe in such projects, ORPIA Group is committed to purchasing 100 % of the production.
Our expertise
ORPIA Afrique offers three types of industrial units:
- CNSL extraction units, intended for the valorization of cashew nut shells
- CNSL refining units
- Biomass valorization units, giving a second life to by-products that are undervalued
