This document presents a business plan for Fastec Industrial, a company that manufactures fly ash bricks. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants and is currently a major environmental pollutant. The business aims to utilize fly ash to produce bricks, helping reduce pollution while providing a construction material. The plan discusses the production process, market opportunity, promotion strategy, financial projections, and concludes that Fastec can help generate a pollution free environment through this environmentally friendly brick manufacturing business.

7. OVERVIEW The bricks which currently most us aware is made up of the soil of specific quality, but due to which earth erosion takes place and we waste natural resources. This job is too laborious and involves cost. Natural seasons affect the quality and cost. This bricks creates environmental pollution.

8. OVERVIEW Helps to reduce the pollution Demand consumption and increasing cost We come up with FLY ASH BRICKS The main raw material is fly ash which is available in abundant quantity and free of cost at the thermal power station. Disposal of fly ash is headache. It is highly polluting material.

9. Scope of project Nearly 73% of India’s total installed power generation capacity is thermal, of which coal-based generation is 90% – the remaining comprising diesel, wind, gas, and steam. The 85 utility thermal power stations, besides the several captive power plants, use bituminous and sub-bituminous coal and produce large quantities of fly ash. High ash content (30%–50%) contributes to these large volumes of fly ash.

10. PROBLEMS OF FLY ASH It is a very difficult material to handle in dry state because it is very fine and readily airborne even in mild wind. It disturbs the ecology of the region, being a source of soil air and water pollution. Long inhalation of fly ash causes silicosis, fibrosis of lungs, bronchitis, pneumonitis etc.

11. PROBLEMS OF FLY ASH Flying fine particles of ash create great nuisance for people living near power stations, corrode structural surfaces, and affect horticulture. Eventual settlement of fly ash particles over many hectares of land in the vicinity of power station brings about perceptible degeneration in soil characteristics.

12. NEED FOR UTILIZING / DISPOSING FLY ASH With the rapid rise in thermal generation, environmental pollution as a result of massive fly ash generation, poses a new problem. Fly ash is reported to cause ailments like allergic bronchitis, silicosis, and asthma. Fly ash contaminates surface water and may also have an effect on underground water, affects the aquatic life, is harmful for plants, and corrodes exposed metallic structures in its vicinity.

13. CURRENT FLYASH DISPOSAL PRACTICES AND EFFECTS At thermal power plants, fly ash is currently collected / disposed off by using wet or dry systems. In cases, where fly ash collection systems are not very efficient, a portion of it escapes into the atmosphere causing environmental pollution. In the wet system, fly ash is mixed with water and sluiced to settling ponds or dumping areas near the plant. Being cheaper than any other manner of fly ash removal, it is the widely used method at present in India

14. Product Description: FLY ASH BLOCKS Features: Size of blocks is 290x185x125mm Faster construction Less mortar consumption Most suitable for boundary walls Plastering not required Decorative, like stone masonry Ash content 26% PLAIN AND CHEQUERED TILES Plain and chequered tiles 22mm thick are manufactured in different sizes and colors as per requirement.

15. ASH COLLECTION Ash can be collected in following categories: DRY FLY ASH: Dry ash is collected from different rows of electrostatic precipitators. It is available in two different grades of fineness in silos for use as resource material by different users. BOTTOM ASH: Bottom ash is collected from the bottom of the boiler and transported to hydro bins and then ash mound for use in road embankment. CONDITIONED FLY ASH: Conditioned fly ash is also available in ash mound for use in land fills and ash building products.

21. MANUFACTURING PROCESS The process involves wet mixing of fly ash, sand, lime and an accelerating agent. The mixture is shaped into the standard size of bricks in a hydraulic press to pressures varying between 100 to 200 kg/cm², as against below 50 kg/cm2 for conventional bricks. The moulded bricks are dried in two stages, i.e., atmospheric drying for a period of 24 hrs., followed by curing with steam in a steam chamber. Depending upon the temperature of steam available the curing time is scheduled as 6 hrs. between 95 to 105 o c.

23. TECHNOLOGY Technology for the project may be obtained from either the Central Fuel Research Institute, APSEB's Consulting Cell Or from the equipment suppliers. Technology agreements would preferably be entered into that guarantee the performance of the equipment, with equipment suppliers.

24. STRATEGIC PLAN

25. Demand And Supply Currently the demand for bricks is very high than the supply. D & S gap is 250 billion bricks per annum Raw material used for regular red bricks is limited. Strategic step: Introducing Fly Ash Bricks to reduce demand and supply gap. Subsidies and orders from govt.

26. Competitive strategies Colouring the bricks red Uniform in size, shape High strength Light in weight Good resistance to salinity and termite Water absorption is less

27. Pricing Strategies Penetration Initially Rs. 1000 per 1000 bricks. Later concession for large quantity buying.

28. Promotional Strategies Discounts on large buying Aggressive Selling Trade promotion Publicity Large volume of institutional sales

29. MARKETING PLAN

30. Existing Market Scenario Market is dominated by red bricks. Current estimates show the gap between demand and supply of bricks to be of the order of 250 billion bricks per annum It is new product to the market. This project helps to reduce environment pollution.
