EVALUATION OF THE NANO CEMENT PRODUCTION FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES IN EGYPT
Production of Nano cement using Nanotechnology is considered a new potential approach in the construction material industry. It has the ability to decrease the size of the cement particle to the Nano scale which increases the cement chemical activity. In this technology, high-performance cement is produced while preserving the environment. To evaluate the economics of establishing a Nano cement unit in an existing typical factory in Egypt, the Cement Factories on canal way in Egypt are selected as a case study. The economic indicators used for the evaluation include Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Break Even Point (BEP). The results were used to decide on the feasibility of building Nano cement unit. It was found that Net Present Value has a positive amount between two interest rate 10% to 30%. The Internal Rate of Return indicator requires increasing the revenue by 38.80% above the interest rate of Central Bank of Egypt. Finally, Break Even Point is gained before one year of production of 720000 ton annually and within 6 years at variable cost/price. Therefore, establishing the product line of Nano cement in Egypt raises the economic return and enhances the concrete quality.
