EQO Project

Ghana Waterworks Energy: preliminary study completed

bs — Sun, 02 Apr 2017 12:30:28 +0000

EQO Project determined the potential of hydroelectric power production and the development of mini-hydro plants for 8 sites in the Volta region in Ghana:

Hohoe Reservoir, Dayi river
Lipke Kukurantumi, Dayi river
Wli Falls, Nuboi river
Tsatsudo Falls, Tsadudo river
Dodi Papase, Asukawkaw river
Ahamasu 1, Asukawkaw river
Ahamasu 2, Asukawkaw river
Menusu, Menu river
Afife dam, Klipka river

The preliminary study consists in:

the determination of the amount of the monthly average flow rate for the single analysed river
the identification of the usable flow rate for the production of electricity
the identification of the type of the equipment to use
the approximate costs for the construction of the single plant and the economic analysis of the plant

Turning Leaf Project: Preliminary Study completed

bs — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 10:55:35 +0000

EQO Project has completed Turning Leaf’s next project phase and compiled the preliminary study to showcase the venture to partners, stakeholders and investors in Bahrain and in the GCC.
The study deepens the medical concept that specifies the core of the Turning Leaf project, refines the architecture and design principles with regards to varying project settings in the GCC and writes out a detailed investment proposition to provide a wider base for decision-making. Main topics of the study are

The Need for Turning Leaf: cause analysis and solution statement about obesity and diabetes in the GCC
The Threat of Obesity and Diabetes in the GCC: background information and situation analysis
Main Complications of Obesity and Diabetes: abstract of medical knowledge base
Prevention, Training, Therapy and Rehabilitation: introduction to the Turning Leaf concept
Health Care, Medical Proposition: specification of Turning Leaf’s target group, the therapeutic approach and treatmet concept.
Architecture & Design: introducing Turning Leaf’s adaptable concept and organisation, its observance of privacy and discretion, the distinctive empathic embodiment and the implementation of the Active Design principles
Sustainable Investment Proposition: competition and stakeholder analysis, operational expediture & revenue assumption, business development planning and investment payback curve

Continuative meetings with stakeholders are ongoing in 2015 the implementation of design engineering, medical plan and investment plan are ready to initiate.

Waterworks Energy: Visit to Ghana’s Volta Region

bs — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:25:56 +0000

EQO Project was invited by the Paramount Chief of Asogli, Togbe Afede XIV, to visit the Volta Region in the Republic of Ghana to perform a first examination of 8 sites with prospects for smal hydroelectric power plants.

The sites were recommended by a feasibility study developed by the Ghanaian government to improve the production of renewable energy.

EQO Project was asked to

estimate the potential annual power generation in kWh
compile general criteria for the realization of the power plants
evaluate the project impact on environment and landscape
rate the potential development of the hydrologic cycle in respect of drinking water supply and wastewater management.

A visit report was hand in to the Ghanaian partners and a continuative survey by EQO Project of the potential sites is planned for March 2015.

Waterworks Energy – Project Development

bs — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 14:31:37 +0000

Mini and Micro power stations (50 to 300 kW) installed inside existing water networks to exploit the pressure of water for the production of energy.Secondary use of natural resources permits a boost in profitability of water supply networks, with small investments and quick returns.
Small power plants can be fundamental for the development of small and marginal communities which are not fully connected to major infrastructure networks.
In summary, small investment quick returns.

Turning Leaf Project: Business Opportunities

bs — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 10:58:54 +0000

EQO Project recently launched turning leaf project, aimed at addressing the GCC’s growing problem of obesity, overweight and diabetes.

Turning Leaf is a state of the art centre offering preventative services to its members. EQO Project is interested to discuss with Individuals or companies who have experiences, expertise and competencies in the following areas with the idea to define a Memorandum of Understanding (i.e. MOU) to describe the exact type of cooperation with:

Dieticians
Physiologists
Wellness Consultants
Eating Disorders Consultants
Physiotherapists
Homeopathic Treatment Consultants
Bio food producers

We are keen to attract the ‘best in class’ in order to establish Turning Leaf as the highest quality preventative GCC centres. Send your contacts and credentials to info@eqoproject.co.uk

EQO Project launches Turning Leaf

bs — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 13:49:18 +0000

EQO Project is pleased to launch the Turning Leaf project: a fully integrated preventative approach to address the GCC challenge of overweight, obesity & manage diabetes.

How is it different? As an approach it is unique, it simultaneously addresses symptoms and underlining causes; attitude & habits, exercise, diet with frequent monitoring and extensive peer pressure to bring about sustainable change for its members. As a business, it exploits a significant GCC industry gap as there are no competitive consolidated structures offering preventative services.

How will it work? Turning Leaf is open for men, women and children, you are a member of a community or club, where people share a similar goal, profit from personalized programmes and use the many facilities & resources of the centre to achieve a behavioural change.

What innovation is used? Turning Leaf is synonymous with innovation, leveraging organic foods, healthy restaurants, hi-tech exercise equipment, state of the art technology for member monitoring & measurement, mini mall with bio shops, etc.How do I relate to this? We have prepared a 2 page flyer which outlines the concept & opportunity for strategic partners, co-developers & investors.

We are looking for people or organizations who can bring significant value to this opportunity. Contact us on info@eqoproject.co.uk

Turning Leaf – Project development

bs — Sun, 25 May 2014 11:14:58 +0000

Based upon the increasing numbers of obesity & diabetes cases, Turning Leaf, is a project that is designed to address this social economic challenges.

Turning Leaf will be a state of the art Centre, leveraging new technologies, adopting an overarching & integrated approach to health, exercise, food & diet, taking people on a journey to ‘turn over a new leaf’. It is planned to provide two service plans; local people from immediate communities travelling to the Centre on a daily basis or people wishing to enjoy a period away from the normal life to fully embrace the change.

Green Build – Sasso Rotondo certified by MINERGIE

Greenhouse Power – Project Development

bs — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:44:35 +0000

Through the requalification of existing greenhouses for the production of flower plant by changing the energy source.
Energy used for heating is one of the major components of the production costs for flowers and small plants; by changing the energy source from gas to biomass and with a clever use of incentives schemes for the reduction of fossil carbon dioxide emissions, there will be a direct & immediate bottom line impact for businesses.
Another, small investment big return project.

Green Build: Zero Emissions House – Project Development

bs — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:10:36 +0000

Through an intelligent approach, leveraging local materials such as stone and wood and the use of sun as main source of energy, it has been possible to design and build family houses in the Swiss Alps with an exceptionally low environmental footprint.

The total energy consumption for all the family household requirements including heating in winter and cooling in summer is less than 2.5 kWh; this represents a 70% reduction in energy consumption compared with similar family houses in the same region.
