Our group will be focusing on the construction and operation of a peanut processing plant in Malawi. We will be removing contaminated peanuts through sorting and roasting as well as further processing of non-contaminated peanuts for ValidNutrition in the form of whole roasted peanuts and peanut paste. ValidNutrition is a non-profit organization that works to treat and prevent malnourishment in children in Malawi. We will be looking to make the process economical, safe and environmentally friendly. We must also meet cost and time requirements, as well as determine the best roasters and electricity source to use in the facility.
