TECHNICAL ASPECTS PRODUCTION PLANNING AND OPERATION TECHNIQUE The project envisages setting up of an automated solid, hole and. hole brick and hollow block brick making unit. The demand for building material is increasing day by day, brick is one of the pertinent objects that are of high demand and echo friendly brick making technology is also a burning issue. The sponsors intend to implement the scheme with financial assistance form Bank/ Financial institution with acquisition within 12 months from the date of opening of letter of credit for imported machinery with state of the art technology of higher quality machinery. Total fixed cost of the project has been estimated at BDT .. Our chosen technology is Tunnel Klin technology developed in Germany. In addition to kiln efficiency, the process technology employs a direct fuel injection technique to

17

create better thermal bonding and reducing fuel usage and thereby lowers CO 2 and other emissions. The Tunnel kiln can be made from firebricks or from green bricks. In the latter event, the green bricks get cooked during kiln operation. The inner kiln lining is made from standard bricks and then plastered over by refractory cement. The firing chamber can be filled manually or automatically with green bricks.12 colum base tunnel kiln usually pcs production per day. The fuel, granulated coal, is fed into the firing zone in the kiln through stoke holes on the roof. Air required for the combustion process is forced from behind; and, as it reaches the line to be fired, it is already preheated from the previous firing zone thus reducing firing time and energy usage. The temperature in the firing zone is about 200-300 C. The process is extremely simple and is carried out manually. In addition to kiln efficiency, green bricks will be injected with pulverized coal, a technique commonly used in China to make bricks. This technique enables improved thermal bonding and reduces fuel usage, and hence CO2 and other emissions. Clay is premixed with granulated coal and then extruded to produce the green bricks. This is a unique process that is fundamental to the energy efficiency achieved in brick making in China. Almost 80% of the total energy required is injected into the bricks and only about 20% is fed externally into the firing chamber. Most of the fuel mixed into the bricks is almost completely burnt during firing. PRODUCTION CAPACITY The annual production capacity of bricks of the project based on two shifts operation of 8 hours each per day and 300 working days in a year and the daily production capacity is 1,00,000 pcs of solid brick. LAND AND LOCATION The project has been proposed to be located in Kapashiya adjacent to Dhaka city connected with good communication from water and road transport mode. The proposed site will be very near to electric power line. The area of land required .. Bigha The land & land development has been estimated Tk 1300 lac.The land has been selected considering its suitability for setting up such a project. The site has all the logistical support like Power, Water, Drainage and Communication for setting the project having economical labor and raw materials available around the adjacent areas.

Brief description of production Production Timing (Production hour in job process basis): Time Working hours/Year Working days/Year Working hours/Day Table 4 Clay and coal material prepare and treatment By the Bulldozer or Loader to send the raw clay to the box feeder, the box feeder adopted the valve controller; it can control the feeding quantity according to the requirements. Then, the raw clay through the belt conveyor goes to the rolling crusher for primary pulverizing. Coal will be crushed by the coal crusher and being piled up. Then by labor vehicle or loading machine send the coal to coal feeder, which adopt valve controller, can control the coal feeding quantity according to requirement. Through the belt conveyor, coal powder will go to rolling crusher, together with the clay crushing, coal powder and clay will be mixing primary. After primary pulverizing, the clay will be sent to the double-shaft mixer. By water adding let the clay and the water are completely mixed round and uniformity. The water input quantity in this process will be around 90% of the total water required. Clay after the first time mixing will be sent to the ageing storeroom for 24-72 hours homogenization, which will make the water filter into the clay grains and make them more uniformed. This will improve the finished brick quality a lot. The clay will receive second time smash by the fine pulverizing double roll grinder in order to get the proper grain size. Then clay comes into the intense mixing and extruding machine, by water adding again and mix, extrude, cut up, so that to get a better molding quality.

Moisture content when molding is controlled to 18%-20%.The molding adopts JKR40/40F-25 double stage vacuum extruder. The ready raw material come from the intense mixer and extruding machine through the belt conveyor being sent to the vacuum extruder, the vacuum pump extract the air from the mud material. The vacuum extruder squeeze out the mud material from the extruder mouth then pass the auto column slitter and brick cutter , being cut into the required bricks. In order to let the surface of the brick more beautiful and combine with the mortar more fastness when establish the building, we can add embossing device on the forepart of the column cutter, thus the effectiveness will be better. Drying In order to save energy, reduce the CO2 emission and take full use of the heat, green bricks are dried by the tunnel drying chamber with small size cross section. Heat resource comes from the remaining heat of the Tunnel kiln. Green bricks come from the cutter then being put on the drying cart by man after bricks distributing and transferring machine, and then it will be sent to the drying chamber by the ferry pusher. The structure of the drying chamber is brick-concrete structure. There are heat supply system, adjusting system and humid exhaust system. In order to guarantee the bricks quality, save coal fuel, we equip the control system temperature-supervise meter. When the heat is not sufficient or coal heat quality below standard, workers can discover in time and adopt measure accordingly, so that this can keep the brick quality steady and prevent the pollution by the leak heat. Take daily production 1,00,000 pcs for example, use tunnel type drying chamber

35

Picture: Clay brick plant show need about 1800m2, but traditional natural drying by sunshine need about 15000m2. So that it save big area of land for green brick drying, improve the worker s working environment. And the brick production do not affect by the weather, brick s quality and production quantity are both improved also. Compare to same capacity old type brick factory, it can save about 80% land area for the country.

Baking Dried bricks via the hydraulic ferry pusher are sent to the trail car. Then, the workers push the drying car onto the trail car, and then send to the Tunnel kiln for unloading, stacking and baking. Workers will pick out the dry waste when adobe stacking. The Tunnel kiln is with three centered arch structure. Kiln backing is mainly based on coal powder from outside, assist by the internal combustion. In order to easy control the baking temperature, guarantee finished brick quality, save coal energy, and avoid any additional damage of the kiln and equipment, we equip the temperature test, alarm and protection facility in the Tunnel kiln baking system. This will reduce the baking temperature too high or too low condition happens, prolong the kilns working life time, reduce unnecessary economy and energy expense, meanwhile will improve the factorys work efficiency. Talk about the advantages of

36

Tunnel kiln, first is High energy efficient. Take one million standard brick for example, Tunnel kiln need about 100 ton coals for baking, with energy saving of 50-60% compare to the old technologies. Tunnel kiln require less land area, daily production capacity 300,000pcs Tunnel kiln need about 2800-3000m2 lands. Its operation easy, weather proof, the kiln can work whole year-round. Old traditional kiln can only work 5-6month. There are about 14 million hectare of land in Bangladesh, yearly abandon rate for the land is about 8000 hectare. There are over 4000 energy inefficient kilns in Bangladesh, each kiln consuming an average of 240 tons of coal to produce one million bricks. Almost all the coal being used is low-grade coal, each kiln there fore produce 760tones of CO2 per year. Total annual CO2 emissions from the 4000 kilns are, therefore, over 3.0 million tones. Above information shows the old technology kiln with high pollution and high cost of energy. New technology kiln will be beneficial for Bangladesh country.

ECHO FRIENDLINESS & POLLUTION CONTROL

We have adopted the state of the art automatic brick making technology the Tunnel Kiln which is a green technology with energy efficient and environment friendly features introduced by UNDP research in Bangladesh to reduce the pollution. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) have recently introduced energy efficient, smokeless brick-making technology to curb greenhouse gas emissions in Bangladesh. This new device, known as the Tunnel Kiln, was originally developed in Germany to replace the older, highly pollutant brick-making technology. It was later modified in China and remodeled to accommodate the specific needs of Bangladesh s brick-making industry. As a result, brick-making technology in Bangladesh is now maximally efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective. PRODUCTION PLANNING AND OPERATION Raw materials Raw material is clay. No impurity contained and its physical property and chemical composition should meet the baked bricks requirement. .

MARKETING ASPECT

Marketing Aspect:
. Objective:
The objective of this market study is to examine and investigate into demand pattern, sources and uses of Tiles, Bricks .The proposed project will be set-up for manufacturing of different sizes and types bricks. Brick has employed by most cultures through the ages to build everything from temples to castle, cottages to factories - even the Great Wall of China. Favored for its versatility and the readily raw material from which bricks are fashioned, clay, many ancient buildings such as those built by Romans still stand today!

MARKETING ASPECTS: INTRODUCTION: Modern development process has come to produce rapid urban growth. Hence one of the objectives of planned development is to improve the physical conditioning of living such as housing and water supply. But as people aspire for comfort rural community also needs to have access to such basic facilities of life. In fact poor countries have come to be regarded as rural slums and the rural to urban migration is an attempt to escape it. The program of development of physical infrastructure, therefore, covers both urban and rural communities in public and private sectors. The program consists of development of housing office and commercial buildings, site development for private housing, office & commercial buildings, city roads etc. In the Five years plan rather a comprehensive approach was for the first time taken to bring development to the door of people and steam urban migration. This consisted of the

48

government policy of decentralization of administration and acceleration of development activities at upzilla level. This policy will require creation of necessary physical infrastructures there within the frame work of national physical plan and the demand for construction materials like bricks etc. will also increase. APPLICATION OF PRODUCTS / SERVICES: The Products of the project will be automatic bricks, to be produced from local clay. Automatic bricks have comparative advantage over hand made bricks in respect of unit price, size/smoothness in surface, bright in color hardness in strength and cheaper as compared to hand made bricks being produced by the brick fields situated in the rural areas. the initial cost of this type of project though high but the over head working cost is less. As such this type of project can supply bricks at a relatively cheaper price. Furthermore it can cater to the large volume of Government/private institutions/organizations place orders. It may be mentioned here that some times various public works are interrupted due to shortage of bricks. This type of project of implemented may be able to solve this problem. Bricks are mainly used in constructing houses roads and bridges. Bangladesh is a developing economy and from 1976 onward the economy is striving forward, in both public and private sectors. With the development of trade and industry and overall expansion of the economy, construction sector has also exhibited considerable growth. It has already been mentioned here that bricks are mostly used in the construction of houses apartments, roads and bridges. Besides the private housing sector, the major users of bricks are the various governments. Semi-government and autonomous organization of which the following deserve special mention

49

a) Public works department b) Roads and Highways c) Water and power Development d) Public health Engineering: e) Rural Electrification f) Pourashavas and others: g) Zilla parishad (i) Thanas h) Titas Gas etc.

DEMAND/SUPPLY ANALYSIS (AUTOMATIC BRICKS): DEMAND ANALYSIS AT MICRO LEVEL: Bricks are heavy in weight and cannot be transported easily and cheaply to any long distance. Therefore, bricks and like designed ceramic bricks are sometimes brought in form distant places The plant under consideration will be located at Keranigonj and is expected to supply bricks to various parts of Dhaka, Manikganj and Gazipur District.The demand for bricks depends on the number on additional brick built houses As per census 1991 total household in Dhaka and Gazipur District stood at 125,487 of which about 50 & a/ has been assumed to be pucca houses . on the basis of the growth date of 5% per annum, the projected number of pucca houses has been estimated and is shown in Table 11

Table 11 ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PUCCA HOUSES

Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005

No. of Houses 1,017,942 1,053,043 1,088,144 1,123,245 1,158,346 1,193,447 1,228,548

It appears from table -111 that the additional number of pucca houses in Dhaka District will rise from 35101 Nos. on an average per annum. Assuming that each pucca house requires

53

about 40,000 bricks on an average, the total number

of bricks to be required for the

additional pucca houses has been worked out 140 .40 crore. In addition to the demand for bricks in the private sector, huge demand for bricks comes from the real estate developers for construction of multistoried apartment/ commercial complexes. The apartment project was started in late 70s in Dhaka city. Ispahani Group is the pioneer in this sector. But in early 80s with the inception of Eastern housing Ltd. the business stared flourishing. Now this is a booming sector of the economy. A good number of real estate developers are now active in this business. During the last decade apartment project has got tremendous progress. World bank estimated the demand for housing in urban areas of Dhaka, Chittagong and Khulna for the period 1980 and 2000 as detailed in Table -111

Table -111 DEMAND FOR HOUSING Item 1980 Population Dhaka Cittagong Khulna Total: 35 14 07 56 No.of Houses 05 02 01 08 Population 93 40 23 156 2000 No.of Houses 17 07 04 28 Demand for Housing 12 05 03 20

b/ Bangladesh urban Sector Memorandum, May, 1981 world Bank. The study shows that annually the number of houses required to be built in Dhaka comes to 60,000 units which is likely to be 12 times higher than the number of actual unit constituted per year. Assuming 40,000 Nos. of Bricks per house the total number of bricks to be required for apartment project comes to 800, 00 crore pcs. In addition to the residential household, various Government departments and agencies are using bricks. Empirical observation reveals that their requirement for bricks would not exceed 10% of the bricks required by household. Hence the total requirement for brick in both public and private sector would be as shown in Table-1V.

54

Table-1V. TOTAL REQUIREMENT OF BRICKS Category Household Apartment Government Demand in million Nos. 1,404 8,000 940 10,344

It appears from Table 1V. that annual requirement of bricks would be about 130 44 million Nos. EXISTING SUPPLY: At present the supply of bricks mostly comes from a bricks fields which produce bricks of inferior quality which are being sold at a higher price. Due to non- existence of adequate number of automatic brick manufacturing plant in the area, the household users and the government and private institutional users are to use mostly this grade of brick to meet their demand. As such the brick fields will not be the competitor of automatic brick plant rather he automatic brick plant will have comparative advantage over fields in respect of quality and price. MARKET SHARE: To what extent the proposed project will be able to win over the users by way of creating a market share for the product will depend on the efficiency of the sponsors to handle appropriate marketing strategies in the form of determination of product pricing, procurement of raw materials, maintenance of product quality adoption of promotional measures etc. so long as the sponsors of the project will be able to adopt suitable and appropriate marketing strategies it will create effective demand for the product.

55

QUALITY: Maintenance of quality of bricks is considered to be one of the determinants for the successful marketing of the product. To have better market the quality of the product must be ensured otherwise it may not be able to compete in the local market. The users/ consumers for brick generally look forward to the following properties in bricks: -Proper size and thickness -Bright colour: -Smoothness of surface: -Strength: To maintain the above qualities, the project is required to be equipped with automatic machinery to be handled with efficient personnel. Since the project will be equipped with automatic machinery, it is expected that it will be able to produce quality bricks as per the requirement /standard of the users/consumers. OUT PUT PRICING: Next to product quality, determination of product pricing plays an important role in achieving the market share for the project. The prices of the product must be competitive to create a market share in the domestic market. To be competitive, the selling prices of bricks should be determined in such a way that it remains at per within the prevailing price structure. Otherwise it may be difficult for the project to sell their output in the domestic market if the prices are not maintained at a competitive level. The sponsors of the project are also required to adjust selling prices are not maintained at a competitive level. The sponsors of the project are also required to adjust selling prices form time to time with the changing prices of other existing units. Bricks to be produced from automatic machine being lower in respect of prices the project may able to enjoy a price advantage and to occupy a major share for his product

56

AVAILABILITY AND PROCUREMENT OF RAW MATERIALS The basic raw material for use in the plant the sponsors of the project have managed to procure clay from local sources. Gas is an imported item and will be available form Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Ltd. The project will not suffer or the production will not be interrupted /stopped due to shortage of raw materials. The sponsors of the project will be able to maintain the continuous flow of adequate quantum of raw materials for the project, so that the production is kept at regular and continuous level. PROPOSED MARKETING / DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS: The products of the project would be supplied to the market through the wholesalers / Distributors at manufacturers cost according to their order / direct sales from factory manufacturers sales Center / Factory. A Schematic diagram of the distribution channel has been shown as follows: and from their own sales center, Dhaka. Retailers would get supply from the wholesale market /

PRICE COMPETITIVENESS: Much attention has been given of the pricing of the products. For such products, product quality and the price has equal role in penetrating in to the market. Depending on the cost of raw materials and other inputs required for production, selling price for the products

57

proposed by the unit has been suggested. Special attention has been given to keep the price at a lower side in comparison to the existing market price.

The proposed price languish the existing Ex-Factory price may be stated in the following

SALES PROMOTIONAL ASPECTS : Sales Promotion in our country are being done through advertising on the nature of products. For these products advertising has been proposed. Since the sponsors are having personal contacts in the wholesale market they with depend on personal selling approach as means of products promotion. To create mass awareness the proposed project is having a loan to advertise their product rough Radio, Television, Paper, Stickers, Calendars etc. after going in to commercial production.

CONCLUSION: A detailed analysis and evaluation, of the existing and projected worldwide market demand, producers and consumers, multiplicity of usage s economic competitiveness and assessments of other relevant factors, considerations and criteria will reveal that the projects success potentials is indeed present and that its future is optimistic.
