INTRODUCTION:

Product and its uses :- The fly ash bricks are not yet well known ,but looking to is
superior quality and friendly nature, it is easily acceptable and it is expected to have
good demand in near future. Fly ash bricks are made of flyash, lime, gypsum and
sand. These can be extensively used in all building constructional activities as
similar as that of common burnt clay bricks. The fly ash bricks are comparatively
lighter in weight and stronger than common clay bricks. Since fly ash is being
accumulated as waste material in large quantity near thermal power plants and
creating serious environmental pollution problems, its utilization as main raw
material in the manufacture of bricks will not only create ample opportunity for its
proper and useful disposal but also help in environmental pollution control to a
greater extent in the surrounding areas of power plants.

MARKET POTENTIAL:

The Honourable Supreme Court under an order has banned the manufacturing of
bricks from the conventional method in Delhi w.e.f. June, 1997. So all the bricks
kilns in Delhi has to stop production resulting shortage of bricks in the State. The
requirement of the State is fed by the brick kilns from the nearby states, who are not
capable to meet the huge demand for the bricks. However, the Supreme Court in its
order has allowed the owners of the existing units of the bricks kilns to manufacture
the bricks from the fly ash, manufacturing of which is pollution free. The fly ash
bricks are comparatively superior in the quality than the common bricks in all the
respects. Therefore, it is expected that there will be good demand for these bricks
particularly in metropolitan cities and other places where thermal power plants and
existing with abundant quantities of fly ash and available almost free of cost for
bricks making units.

BASIS & PRESUMPTIONS:

i. It has been taken into consideration that the unit will work on single shift basis for 300
days in a year.

ii. The cost of land, construction charges, cost of machinery and equipment, raw materials
& Consumables, salaries and wages, other expenses etc. indicated in the profile are
based on the prices prevailing at the time of preparation. Therefore, they are subject to
necessary changes from time to time based on local conditions.

iii. The salary and wages for staff and labour has been taken into consideration on the basis
of prevailing market rate in the proposed profile.

iv. To reach the full plant capacity, it requires 1 year after trial production.

v. Interest rate at 12.00% considered in the project profile both for recurring and non-
recurring expenditure.

vi. Margin money will vary from 10-25% depending upon the location and scheme adopted
by the entrepreneur.
vii. Operative period of project around 10 years considering technology obsolescence rate
and period of repayment of loan.

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:

Selection of site and construction 3 to 6 months

Preparation of project report and provisional registration under SSI 1 to 2 months

Availing of Finances. 3 to 4 Months.

Procurement of machinery & equipment, raw materials and 2 to 3 months.
consumables etc.
Erection and Commissioning of plant & machinery, construction of 4 to 5 months.
building, kilns & curing tank etc.
Trial runs and Commissioning of regular production. 1 to 2 months.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

1. Process of manufacture in brief:

Fly ash, lime sand and gypsum are manually fed in a pan mixer where water
is added in require proportion and intimate mixing is done. Mixing
proportion is generally 60% -80% of fly ash, 10%- 20% lime, 10% gypsum
and 10% sand depending upon the quality of raw materials.

After mixing, the mixed material is pressed in the shape in semidry

conditions using hydraulic process, the bricks are carried on wooden
plates/bolt conveyer, to the open area where they are dried and water cured
for 21 days. After curing the bricks are tested and sorted.

2. Quality Standards & Specifications:

The bureau of Indian Standards has formulated and published the

specification for maintaining quality of product and testing purpose.

IS: 12894-1990 .

3. Production Capacity:

The profile envisages setting up a unit for manufacture of 60 lacs of fly ash bricks
valued at Rs.84 lacs per annum.

4. Power Requirement: 30 K.W.

5. Pollution Control:
 The technology adopted for making fly ash bricks is ecofriendly as it does not
require steaming or auto calving as the bricks are cured by water only. Since the
burning process is avoided, there are no emissions and also there is no effluents
discharged. On the other hand, it solves the problem of fly ash disposal.

6. Energy Conservation:

General precautions for saving energy particularly electricity are required to be

followed by the unit by adopting energy conservation techniques not only to
conserve the power but also to save considerable expenditure on their consumption
in its own interest and also in the interest of the national as a whole.
