Economic and financial feasibility analysis for central mass implementation of a ceramic industry in Itaboraí, RJ, Brazil

This paper presents a study of economic and financial viability for central mass implementation, with the aim of preparing the clay before the production process, using appropriate techniques and fitting, that providing savings in raw materials, reduce the consumption electricity, reduction of thermal energy consumption, increased productivity, among other benefits. We simulated three types of scenarios: pessimistic, most likely and optimistic. We used the traditional assessment methods: NPV, IRR and Discounted Payback. In all three scenarios the results determine that the investment is viable.
