Assignment Makro Pakistan – Customer Services Strategy By – Sarfraz Hassan Manager Communication ( I. T. ) – Atlas Group 14th August 2010 Table of Content * Grocery Stores in Pakistan * Makro Pakistan – A brief history * Market Competitive Edge * Challenges and Target * Strategic planning * Action Plan * Conclusion Grocery Stores in Pakistan Over the last two decade broader socio-economic changes, including growth in the urban middle class and disposable incomes have given rise to the modern retail sector in Pakistan. There has been a marked decrease in traditional ‘kiryana’ stores, an increase in general stores and the emergence of new formats such as superstores, malls and retail chains to cater to the increasingly time-compressed consumer. Long ago, it was a simpler time for inventory management: the owners knew their customers well, what products they needed and how much they would be willing to pay for them. If a customer reque sted something the store did not carry, it was simply added to the next purchase order. Today, the shopping experience looks much different. The proliferation of department stores, grocery store chains and big-box stores during the past two decades has ushered in dramatic changes to the retail landscape—rendering customer-centricity an increasingly elusive goal. The food and other items are need of every human. We see in Pakistan, from small shops to whole sale dealers, from corner pan shop to multi stories super stores. The progress in this regard is tremendous as new ideas and techniques are keep coming to sell the items. Recently we saw the chain of Makro and Metro giant store where you get everything under one roof. Makro Pakistan A brief history Makro is a part of House of Habib group. House of Habib is the business house of the Mohammedali Habib Family. Mohammedali Habib, a man of vision and exceptional leadership together with his brothers was the architect and builder of the Group which includes Habib Metropolitan Bank and Habib Insurance Co. Ltd. , established in 1941 and 1942 respectively. Today, HOH employs over 10,000 people who work to provide an array of products and services in Pakistan. These activities range from automobiles (Indus Motors) to audio media, buildings to banking and computers to chemicals. Managing a network of public and private companies, the House of Habib has equity and technical collaborations with British, Japanese and Norwegian companies. House of Habib despite its conservative and traditional values places great emphasis on decentralized professional management that has resulted in a progressive and dynamic organization. MAKRO is a Dutch chain of large-scale wholesale supermarkets having a strong presence in many countries around the world. In Pakistan, it entered the market as a joint venture between its parent company SVH and the House of Habib to launch as Makro Habib Pakistan Limited. Habib group o pened Makro in 2005. Makro demonstrated a commitment to grow in Pakistan by entering the wholesale sector and with plans to invest around USD 300 mn in the next four years. Pakistan’s wholesale sector has been a grossly neglected segment of the economy; Makro pioneered into its age old customs and led the change by introducing modern and transparent rules of trade. Makro has also brought the latest technology and techniques to preserve and enhance the life of fresh farm produce. This will not only benefit the farmer but also the common man. Each Makro Wholesale Centre provides direct employment to 200 people, and brings in countless business transactions into the documented part of the economy, which is a significant step towards complimenting Governments’ efforts. It was soon realized by Makro that more and more individual customers are coming for shopping and thus Makro enhanced its products range. Makro categorize its products in three categories: * Dry food * Fr esh food * Non food Makro main focus is on * Competitive Prices * Quality Guaranteed * Everything Under One Roof * Air-conditioned and clean environment * Bulk Packing * Detailed Sales Invoice Extended Business Hours – 8:00 am to 12 Midnight * Open 7 days a Week including national holidays * Vast and secure parking space * Makro Mail: a fortnightly price list with special promotions on a vast range of products Market Competitive Edge Entering into the consumer goods was a great experience. As CEO Makro Jamal Mustafa Siddiqui rightly said that local supermarkets often offer many things, while cash carry type stores mostly compete on price but there is no compromise on quality. CEO further added that one of the factors which distinguish Makro from other outlets is the ample parking space and the cozy environment. This makes a visit to Makro a family event. Visitors not only come in search on quality products available at most competitive prices but also avail a chance to ea t together. They dont have to bother about the security of any kind. The huge hall on a single floor gives customers a sense of easiness and it has been witnessed that parents are relaxed while shopping as they know their children are around â€Å"somewhere safe†. The availability of variety of product range with proper price tag is a feature where customers decide instantly what to buy and how much to buy. There are teams of sales person everywhere in the store but it was found that people normally find things easily and hardly they talk to sales person. The board of each product are placed everywhere so that customer can read where ever he is on the floor. The store was started as a whole sale way concept but soon it turned out to be the fact that 50% of sale is coming from individual costumers. CEO Makro mentioned in his one of interview that we did not go for huge electronic marketing campaign like TV or radio or even newspapers. We grew by word of mouth. And that g ives us a competitive edge over other stores. The daily sale is a more than 1 million. The suppliers are giving Makro a handsome discounts and Makro is passing this discounts to customers. Few more stores are coming. For example, Metro which is totally whole sale store and recently Naheed Supermarket shifted their style in a same way as Makro does. But still Makro has 34% market share in whole sale market and 41% in individual customers market. It has opened few more stores in Karachi as well as in Lahore. Makro Customers Makro has two types of customers. * Institutional * Individuals Both type of customer want quality, price and convenience It is now a fact that only providing items is not enough, there has to be service in front end. In institutional customers, the whole sale customers are included. The requirement of this category is totally different as compared to individual customers. Therefore, the planning and strategy for both types of customers is different. Initially t he strategy was made only for institutional customers and less focus on individual costumers. But when data available showed that the more revenue is generated from these customers then it is time to be customer centric. Makro has realized the fact that customers are now expecting more form Makro. They are now expecting that what ever they want to buy, it will be available in Makro. If Makro does not fulfill its customer needs, then it will soon start loosing its existing customers and it means loss in profit. One more complaint received is that Makro does not have â€Å"ALL† products and sometimes people have to compromise in few items. Makro has started taking feedback form customers so that they can understand the behavior of customers. They have observed that many people buy routine fixed item and many does not like bulk quantity schemes. As the CEO Makro said that we don’t compromise on quality, this is true as customers don’t get any less quality pro ducts there but through feedback it was also learnt that some good quality products are missing from the shelf which is required by customers. CRM A active database system is in place where total inventory management is controlled and in fact it gives information ahead of time that which items are required in three months time. The system is also connected with other outlets across the country and a centralized database is maintained. This gives Makro an advantage to place its order to its supplier for all store in one go. As far as customers inputs are concerns, this system need update, so that customers complaints can also be handled from centralized management. Further, it is not connected with supplier and manual work has to be done. Challenges The challenges currently Makro is facing are: * ALL items are not available in store * New stores are coming with enhanced services * Sale might go down by 10% * Closure of Makro Saddar Karachi by Supreme Court. * No inputs from custom ers in CRM system and connection with supplier is missing Meeting local market needs is just one of many factors contributing to the increasingly complex task of store management. How do balance changing market conditions, financial risks and supplier limitation, all while accommodating fast-changing trends? How do Makro accurately forecast inventory positions for the upcoming holiday season when previous buying patterns dont hold true in the current economic environment? And how can Makro ensure that their merchandise forecasts and plans are actually achievable? Targets After analyzing the market trend and customers need and expectation, it is time for Makro to sit again and do its home work and come up with right strategy and an action plan to face the challenges mentioned above. The management of Makro was sure on one thing and that they will succeed if they focus customer and align its strategy according to their needs. To create a customer-centric shopping experience, it is critical for Makro to make smarter decisions about product selection and inventory management. Strategic Planning Makro adopted a very simple strategy and that was to â€Å"Give what customers want†. Because in this era of inflation, customers are interested in getting their shopping done in one trip to save his time, money, petrol etc. In order to accomplish this task an action plan has been made and details are given below Action Plan Objective: * Enhance CRM and implement Voice of customer solution (from supplier to customers). * Ensure availability of all required items in the shelf * Increase sale by 20% * Re open new store in new location. * Keep track on competitors performance and tactics The action plan was divided into four broad categories * Understand Customers * Set Quality Service Standards * Build a winning team * Check up regularly * Provide proactive problem solving Understand Customers Doing business without knowing what customer exactly want is som ething like selling eye glasses to a blind man. Therefore, in order to know customers, there has to be a mechanism where maximum data is available. Collect Data To enhance their CRM system, data is required in different format to analyze it. Makro hired sales officer to ask and ask each and every customer following questions. * How you feel here in Makro? * Is this your first time? * Did you get all things you wanted? * Do you find it expensive? * Any plan to visit again? * Is there any complaint/suggestion you have.? * How can we do better? The next feedback was taken from 200 employees which were more related to their duty timings, their uniform, areas of services, their expertise, their observations and their suggestions. The suppliers were brought in picture and their systems were studied and joint efforts made to connect suppliers to Makro CRM system. Once, all information is available, then in CRM systems, it is time to sit together and senior management scrutinized all ava ilable data and interestingly few very amazing information were discovered. For example, Makro put some chocolate and candy near cash counters so that they can attack young ones. But complaint received from parents that they don’t like that chocolate and candies to be placed near cash counter as their children got out of control and one lady mentioned that she will not come to Makro again due to this same reason. Strategy of earning few quick pennies was actually loosing customers on long term basis. !! Makro adopted the policy to retain the customers as it is a fact that you spend more to attract new customers and therefore it is a good policy to retain old customers and those will become loyal customers. Set Quality Service Standards On analyzing data, it was also noticed that people complaint about the non availability of quality products on the shelf. The database also showed that there are many items which are rarely bought by majority of customers. Few suppliers a lso supplying low quality items and due to huge orders, these low quality items goes un noticed. A list of all hot items were made and contact made with manufactures directly to supply these items to Makro. The low quality items were removed from shelf and meeting was held with suppliers of these items and a quality check mechanism was developed so that only accepted quality items reach to the shelf. The placement of more than 14000 items were also re shuffled. Employees of Makro suggested that there are few items, specially children toys and stationary is on the upper shelf and many times children ask floor staff to give these items. All these type of items were shifted to the lower portion of shelf where young one can access them easily and can decide what to choose. A web site is hosted where up to date information is available. Further, the whole sale customers can order on phone and their order is packed as per their requirement and ready at doorstep of Makro at their conven ient time. The new offers and deals also circulated to all whole sale customers on regular basis. Announced a 5% discount to all employees family who wants to shop in Makro. Build a winning team When the quality, price and convince were addressed, it is time to address the touch points. The complete customer cycle were studied in detail. From entering into Makro in parking lot to getting out from Makro. Following actions were taken * Parking staff and security staff were re trained â€Å"How to receive customers. † * The trolley are now available at different location of parking so that customer should not worry about finding trolley in the start. Few small shops and stall were opened at start of Makro which have attractive items with low price like CD/DVD shops, ladies bangles, purse, mobile accessories etc so that a perception is created that it is not a high price store. * The selection of floor staff was clearly made, keeping in view their residential area. Focus on mi ddle and upper middle class. They were trained how to greet customers and show them the way. Priority given to local residence at each store. * It was in their training â€Å"Not to disturb customers while they are looking at different items†. But if customer has any query then that should be answered. * The cash counter were increased and one more person was added who help customers in putting their items in shopping bags quickly with a smile. * The re check of bill at the end was finished as it disturb the customers. * Eating points increased with variety of food items. * The hot items are placed in multiple locations. * At parking lots, few boys were hired to bring the car at the door when customer finished the shopping so that customers don’t need to carry trolley all the way to parking lot. Check up regularly The strategy was in place, the action plan is now active. It is time to monitor the result and feedback. For this purpose, another department was opene d whose primary responsibility to get maximum feedback from customers with respect to all areas. The main areas were parking lots, main shopping hall, cash counters, eating places, ATM machines and few dedicated sponsors stall/shops. A standard form was prepared with ranking (from excellent to worse) and KPI and that is part of each departmental appraisal procedures. The main features of feedback form were: * Cleanliness * Reception * Payment procedures. * Floor Staff Support * Availability of products Through these feedback, the whole supply chain mechanism was monitored and appropriate actions were taken accordingly. The card system was introduced and to facilitate customers, point system was introduced in which shopping more than Rs: 10,000 will have discount of 5% and if within six months, if a customer earned more than 20% discounts then afterwards 10% discount will be offered. This scheme really worked out and helped Makro to retain customers. Provide proactive problem s olving According to a research 68% customers are upset because they did not receive proper treatment. Only 4% customers complaint and rest do no complaint because they think that it will be useless to mention it or they DID NOT FIND A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN COMPLAIN !!! Makro gain popularly through word of mouth as they adopted policy of less electronic media advertisement. It also adopted the strategy to consider complaints as opportunities and react it with full dedication. A fully equipped complaint center was opened in each Makro store where customer can come and register their complaint verbally or can fill out the form. Even to extent, customers were informed that they can call following numbers any time to logged their complaints and these numbers belong to higher management. It is also a part of policy that if a complaint is right, then after solving the complaint, something extra to be given to customers so that he can feel that he is treated â€Å"WELL† and he is n ot ignored but supported well and he was listened carefully. This ill build a trust between customers and can turn ordinary customers into loyal customers. The floor staff was trained in such a manner to move around the store and try to listen customers without disturbing them what they exactly talking about. For example one aged customer was saying to his wife, â€Å" I need only one shoe polish and they have set of five shoe polish, why they don’t provide option to buy single.? †. The action was taken and at many items option to buy single item was introduced and that really doubled the sale because as it was earlier mentioned that more than 50% costumers are individual customers. A team of expert is always present at frozen item section as customer investigate more about frozen food. At many occasions, team guide customers about new deals. A fortnightly newsletter with the name MakroMail introduced which not only consists of deals and new items details but also h ave complaint history, their resolutions, a thank you note to all customers for sharing their feeling with Makro. This newsletter is sent to 5000 customers twice in a month. Makro is searching for new location to open its new store in Karachi in case if sadder Makro become inaccessible. The case is in the court. Makro will try to adjust his employee at other locations. Conclusion Makro sale has reached 10 billion a year, a 25% increase since last year. Contributed Rs 750 million towards sales tax to government. Employed 300+ personnel. There are more than 14000 products on the shelf. These are not â€Å"ALL† the products, but this is what is required by customers. The use of right technology at right time gave Makro a competitive edge. The customer satisfaction can only be achieved through product and services. Its only matter how much one focus on each part. Customers are ambassador, treat them as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. Its our job every day t o make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better. There should be a culture where the voice of customer penetrates deep inside the organization and the management is steadfastly committed to creation and delivery of customer experience. Remain in cycle of Explore-;AgreeDeliverAssure Because what gets measured does get managed. When both customers and employees are engaged we are likely to see optimal customer experience (Reverse can be seen in government departments) Between rising unemployment rates and diving home values, consumers discretionary spending is evolving as much more selective, more informed, and more scarce, creating significant competitive challenges for retailers and suppliers alike. The ability of retailers to attract and maintain a loyal customer following requires customer-centric strategies in collaboration with suppliers. If we do the right thing for the consumer, it will be the right thing for the retailer, and in the end, it will be the right thing for the supplier community. ************************************************END***************************************************** Don’t waste time!

Anotated Bibliography on Literacy in the Primary Years

Christie, F. (2005). Language and Literacy. In Language education in the primary years (pp. 1-12). Sydney: University of New South Wales Press In this chapter we are introduced to language being a basic resource with which we learn both in oral and written form and become a responsibility of teachers in the primary schooling years to allow this opportunity to be given to all. The debate over methods autonomous and â€Å"ideological† is discussed where the debate takes into consideration factors from the 20th century emphasising the literacy practice of learning. We are reading that the functional model of language is a social semiotic system used in many ways and the three ways that why this is useful being the role, the nature and learning to construct meanings of language. The chapter emphasises that to play, use, enjoy and adapt language is a goal for our children which can lead to providing the framework for a language program. Text and context are explained where we can change our language approach to suit the discourse. Through metafunctions as shown in table formation we are allowing ourselves to choose our language to make meanings. Within the classroom from this chapter we gain an insight into the social side, the making of choices and reflection of language for children. Gee, J.P. (1991). What is literacy? In C. Mitchell K.

The Special Education for the Visually Impaired Free Essays

Special education has come a long way since the room down the hall with the crayon books and easy work. There was a time that special education students were placed together in a classroom, given easy work to do that would not challenge them and provided separate recesses and lunch periods so that they would not mingle with the regular education students. It was a stigma that nobody wanted for their child but it wasn’t until the mid-1960’s that it began to change. We will write a custom essay sample on The Special Education for the Visually Impaired or any similar topic only for you Order Now Beginning with Brown vs the school board lawsuit, stemming from a Black student who wanted to attend a predominately white school, the life of a special education student has transformed significantly. Today, special education students are protected from discrimination and segregation by federal and state laws. Students with special learning needs are educated in the least restrictive environment and school systems are ordered to accommodate their special needs so that the playing field will be level for their educational journey. Blind students are classified special education by the very nature of their disability. They are classified as such so that the federal education statutes with regards to special education can protect them from being segregated or shunned by the regular education system. Blind students have their inability to see in common, however, outside of that they are as individual and diverse as their sighted peers. There are federal guidelines in place regarding the education and interventions that pertain to blind students however. A student who is blind can present challenges when it comes to behavioral interventions because some of the tried and true methods are not applicable when it comes to a blind student. Making a student write an essay, write sentences or run laps is not feasible when the student needing the intervention is blind. While many behavioral interventions that apply to sighted students will in fact work with blind students it is important to have alternative plans in place for the behavior intervention of those who cannot see. When the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 was passed, educators, parents and students began to hammer out plans and pathways to the fair treatment and education of those who had special needs. The students who were blind had previously been sent off to schools for the blind, where they only associated with other blind students, worked with blind geared materials and learned that they were blind in a sighted world. Today, blind students who want to attend regular public schools are not only encouraged to do so they are given the right by federal law to do so, and the school must take whatever steps are needed to allow that education(Anderson, 2004). The 1997 Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the resulting final federal regulations published in 1999 describe related services as an essential component of a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) for many students with disabilities(Anderson, 2004). † Those related services include everything from transportation to counseling services that will assist the special education student in their quest to receive a public education with their peers. Every special education student, including those who are blind is provided with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). This plan outlines the student’s educational needs, the way those needs will be met and what accommodations will be provided by the school system in providing that education(Zabriskie, 2003). While the federal law protects all special education students there are areas of interest that are specifically geared to the education of blind students(Kozub, 2006). As part and parcel of an blind student’s IEP it is important to consider the disability and remember its limitations when planning the student’s curriculum, extra curricular activities and physical education abilities. Because a blind student is often at a disadvantage when it comes to physical activity in both during the routine school curriculum and the aspects of physical education the IEP team must consider alternatives to include these elements in the school day. In addition the IEP team must consider appropriate behavior interventions for the blind student that acts out due to frustration about not being able to participate as fully as their sighted peers. This frustration may be from the child’s anger at his or her limitations or may be founded in messages being sent to that student by well meaning parents who are concerned about their child’s physical development as well as educational development. â€Å"The need for heightened levels of fitness in order to navigate barriers found in both home and community settings is important for children and adults with visual impairments. This is a critical mobility issue for children given the need for independence in daily living activities that increases with age and becomes a necessity during adulthood. In addition, issues of mobility within the larger community are a concern later in adulthood if individuals who lack vision rely on public transportation (which may or may not be accessible depending on fitness levels needed to independently reach bus stops). In all, it is imperative that adequate levels of physical activity are encouraged in children and adolescents with visual impairments to facilitate independence into adulthood. The following study is an initial investigation using a family systems framework of activity levels in a select group of children and adolescents with visual impairments(Kozub, 2006). † These and other concerns raise a need for behavioral interventions that are specifically geared to meet the needs of blind students(Robinson, 2001). â€Å"School success may be minimal for students who have difficulties building social relationships and ultimately fail at developing social competence. As a result, social skills training is often provided to increase pro-social interaction. Despite evidence of the effectiveness of teaching appropriate social functioning, there is concern about generalization and maintenance of learned skills(Gilles, 2003). † Blind students are at a specific disadvantage in the regular classroom setting. They are unable to determine when the classroom is noisy when it is appropriate to speak out, when it is appropriate to remain quiet and how to gain the teacher’s attention by finding her by sight then moving toward her(Bricker, 2004). It is situations such as these that create a problem when it comes to behavior for the blind student. Not only are inappropriate behaviors a risk when a student is frustrated by being blind, but there are every day behaviors that must be addressed for the blind student and the regular education student to blend into a classroom and create a positive and cohesive learning environment. A student who cannot see where the teacher is to gain his or her attention will often times yell out or shout out the teacher’s name. This can not only be disruptive to the classroom from a educational standpoint, but it can also provide a foundation for mimic behavior from the sighted students(Prochaska, 2002). A classroom with 15-23 students all shouting out names of the teacher or others that are needed will quickly become an impossible learning environment. It is important to develop a behavioral intervention for such situations and implement that intervention with the blind student(Bricker, 2004). One intervention would be to provide the blind student with a bell, with which he could ring it once and then patiently wait for the teacher to either arrive at the desk or verbally let the student know he or she will be there momentarily. A blind student may become loud and disruptive when frustrated or angry. It is important for teachers to understand that the frustration may not be with any one person in particular but may in fact be about not being sighted the way the other students in the classroom are. It is important o have appropriate behavior interventions in place from the beginning so that the students who are blind can depend on the consistent response to certain behaviors. When a student acts out and become verbally loud and disruptive it can be disruptive for the entire classroom. Whereas a sighted student can be told to go to the hall or go to the principal the sending of a blind student is more complicated as they will require an aide to accompany them. If less drastic attempts to reduce the undesired behavior are not successful then an aide should be appointed to escort the student from the classroom, however, there should be mandated approaches built into the student’s IEP for behavioral interventions before that point arrives. One step that can be taken in behavior intervention with a blind student is to have the student learn how to self direct the anger. If he or she is feeling frustrated it is important that the student have a place to vent that frustration so that it does not come out in inappropriate behaviors in the classroom. Allowing that student to be excused to talk to the guidance counselor about the current frustration is one behavior intervention that will allow the student to address the frustration while at the same time preserving the integrity of the classroom setting and the lessons being taught to the remaining students. Another approach to redirecting undesired behavior will be touch and sound. A blind student cannot read social cues from other students and teachers by the look on their face. It is important to help the student who is blind find ways to read social cues using the other senses. Teachers should instruct the seeing students in ways to use hearing and touch to convey cues to the students who are blind. In addition the students that are blind should be guided in listening to voice cues and other sounds that can clue them to the social attitudes and feelings of those around them. It is important that blind student intervention programs provide clear cut guidelines in helping the students redirect themselves and their behavior to more acceptable avenues. It is important for teachers and students to recognize the very real limitations that a blind student must face on a daily basis. The student who is educated in a regular education classroom is subjected to a well rounded experience, while at the same time must face frustrations that he or she would not have to deal with in a school for the blind. It is important that behavior interventions for the blind student take into consideration the disability and how that disability impacts the student not only from an educational standpoint, but also from a social and emotional standpoint as well. Behavior interventions should include guidance for future behaviors that will provide a foundation for the student to build on successful encounters with each passing year. The federal government mandates that accommodations be put in place but it is up to the individual school to design the accommodations that fit the individual blind student. Blind students are as diversified as sighted students and as such must have behavioral intervention plans in place that address their individual needs.

The past few years that Dilmah has been focus on TV advertising and the result shows the sales of Dilmah black tea has been increased steadily. It proved TV advertising has achieved the result of increasing the sales of tea. The research has investigated the 5 objectives which are key trends in the tea market, key customer segments and a profile of each, levels of brand awareness and measure attitudes towards teas as a drink. The findings show Dilmah should continue the current campaign as it is. Key trend in the tea market (market size, market share and price†¦etc) Key customer segment and a profile of each Brand Awareness The most effective form of media and publicity Attitude toward to tea as a drink Recommendation Id research problems / to understand / to investigate / to explore The primary research has contained five objectives are key trend in the tea market, key customer segments, the most effective forms of media and publicity and the measurement attitude towards tea as a drink. Unfortunately, it has had 800 survey but female is almost double of male. This may because the survey accuracy as the secondary research findings shows female has much higher percentage of purchasing the tea which might affect the survey. Beside, there is one more important finding that from middle to mature age groups are also the main groups of tea purchasing. The survey also has higher percentage people at the age group of 36 – 45 and 45 and over. In the primary research, it has covered quite well at the brand awareness question but there are not enough information which required to support the campaign should keep going or modify at the objectives of effectiveness of media, attitude to buy / drink tea and profile of customer segment. The key customer segment by employment should be full time worker, part time worker or non-employed. It will be good to know who does grocery shopping of the household. Full time housewife with out job or Housewife with part time job, part time student or full time student The attitude toward to tea as drink will be good to have the question of what kind of tea is the most favorite to drink? Answer to be black, herbal and green tea which can help to know the current trend of drink tea. * Main reasons of purchasing the tea What kind packaging is the most favourite etc paper bag, tin, glass jar †¦etc†¦ * What kind of advertising comes to mind when you think about tea advertising? * What would you expect to see from tea advertising? Tea history, fashion trend, tea taste†¦etc * Attitude to buy / drinking tea? (change to actionable statement – to identify * Effectiveness of advertising * Profile of segments – behaviour (drinking tea) The secondary and primary researches have got a numbers of good information and data to support the continued campaign of TV advertisement as the most effective form of media. However, it still lack the important information and data key customer segment, attitude toward to tea as drink and the type of tea advertising to support the campaign. The key customer segment will indicate which group is main consumers purchase tea for the household and when and where will the best time to have campaign on according the life consumers. The great information of attitude toward tea as drink can modify the campaign to the advertising that consumers would expect to see and also show who main consumers are. The type of media form will encourage consumers to purchase Dilmah tea brand. Sometimes, it is very hard to encourage consumers to change the brand they have drunk for long time as tea is a very family oriented drink. Drinking tea can be the family habit which dominated by the main person who is shopping for the household. For that reason, it is essential to have the focus group qualitative research to The research requires 8 – 12 people and homogeneous in terms of demorgraphic and socio-economic characteristics. Of course, those people need to have the habit of drinking tea. The final thing is has not participated in many focus groups. The reseach will also require a relax environment and it will takes about 1. 5 – 2 hours.

The paper discusses the debate that followed involving the public and the media. It shows that while the linguistic experts in the field were in support of the Ebonics Resolution, the Resolution had a significant social impact. By comparing the meaning of the issue from a sociological and a linguistic perspective, the paper shows the real issues involved in their entirety. In the Ebonics debate the part of culture involved is language, a very basic component of our society. We will write a custom essay sample on The Ebonics Debate or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Language is something that is taken for granted, with the belief of the general population being that the accepted language is the correct one. The social rejection of Ebonics and the rejection of accepting it as a primary language can be seen as a form of the majority group of society asserting their own belief in their superiority. This is not necessarily representing that the majority group do not want to accept others. Instead it reflects the basic principle of society assuming that the majority group is correct.

Genre and Narriative - Se7en essays

Genre and Narriative - Se7en essays A dark masterpiece of modern horror, which involves a veteran cop, Detective William Somerset who is about to retire, and Detective David Mills, who breaks in his replacement. They both become involved in a grisly, serial killer investigation. This twisted serial killer chooses his victims from people who exemplify one of each of the seven deadly sins, as he sees himself as being the flaming sword of God, dispensing judgement on these sinners. As the movie opens, we meet Somerset, a meticulous veteran cop who lives a lonely bachelors life in what looks like a well decorated apartment. Then he meets Mills, an impulsive young cop who actually asked to be transferred into Somersets district. The two men investigate a particularly gruesome murder, in which gluttony makes an appearance in the film in the form of an obese man being force fed to death. Within the chosen sequence, genre conventions such as camera movement, editing and lighting are all insights for the viewer to seek out the films genre. Camera angles for example, are very personal within this film and give away a lot about Somerset and Mills life. The two are very contrasting and there is a lot to learn from each character and what they offer to the plot of the story. From the start we find that Somerset offers a challenging depth and dimension for a character in this genre. Somerset is much more interested in the art of crime solving. However, Somerset is burnt out after 34 years on the force. He feels he is not making a difference anymore and therein lays the conflict of the story. Somerset is a man who had it and hes giving up. Hes seen too much. Mills is a cop who has transferred into the department and is full of optimism about the difference he can make as an individual. The two look at the same situation with dramatically opposing points of view. The film is set against the background of a bleak, gloomy, a ...

In life people face many challenges which lead to growth. Analyze how Essay

In life people face many challenges which lead to growth. Analyze how challenges help people grow in many ways - Essay Example Maya Angelou’s autobiographical work ‘Graduation’ explores the author’s personal struggles and the obstacles she faced particularly in relation to racial prejudices while attending her graduation ceremony from a segregated middle school in Arkansas. The author discusses the range of emotions she felt before, during and after the event. Initially, her primary feelings were those of excitement and pride at her educational achievements and accomplishments. She then went through a period of disappointment and anger while eventually letting go of the animosity she felt for others. The author’s anticipation and enthusiasm at her impending graduation was well-deserved. She had received good grades and her family, particularly her mother, was extremely proud of her. Their preparations were detailed and filled with joy as she was given gifts, money, words of wisdom and praise. However, as the author sat at the ceremony and listened to the speeches, it became clear to her that the achievements of her black classmates were not regarded in the same way as those of her white contemporaries. The authors feelings changed immediately as she was overcome with disappointment, anger and resentment as this served to remind her of the stereotypical ‘place’ of black people as the time in terms of taking on quite menial positions such as cleaning and labour. Aspirations of further educational achievements and more respectable positions were dashed from her mind in these moments as she pondered â€Å"It was awful to be a negro and have no control over my li fe† (Angelou 37). In Andre Barrett’s ‘A Hole in the Wall’, the author similarly reflects upon a time in which she experienced a traumatic and emotionally distressing event, in this case, the 2001 World Trade Centre attacks. She recounts how very shortly after she and her husband moved to the city, she witnessed the fateful

Nuclear Power Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 1

Nuclear Power - Research Paper Example The possibility of switching to another fuel as the main provider of energy involves complex problems since many machines that are in use at present would not be able to make the switch without incurring huge financial expenditure. It would, thus, involve a huge initial cost that would result in many protests. It is not, however, the case that other forms of fuel that are held up as viable alternatives are able to fulfil most of the requirements that are set for a form of fuel. Hydroelectric power, apart from causing a massive initial expenditure for the setting up of dams and other machinery, also causes the dislocation of many communities which live around the place where the dam is to be located. This has led to many disputes in the past. Apart from this, the portability of hydroelectric power is also a problem that is cited as a disqualifying factor when the sustainability of different fuels is spoken of (Ryan, 2009). The importance f different renewable sources must be taken int o account while looking at an alternative to fossil fuels as the major source of energy for the world as a whole. It is in this context that the use of nuclear energy needs to be assessed. The advantages and negatives of the fuel need to be looked into and their relative merits scrutinized. For this, one must initially make oneself familiar with the process by which energy is extracted from nuclear fuel. Nuclear energy is created by inducing reactions within the nuclei of an atom. The energy that binds the parts of the nuclei is released when the parts disintegrate. This is what leads to the production of nuclear energy. This can be harnessed to be channelled into constructive activities. It can also be used for making explosives that may then lead to disasters. The process of harnessing this energy is a tricky one and must be done with great care to avoid disasters (â€Å"Nuclear Energy†, n.d.). The disaster that happened at Chernobyl was one such accident. It was, however, not due to the inherent faults of nuclear energy but due to the inability of the people who were employed at the plant to oversee the production of the energy. The aspect of the disaster that needs to be noted while looking at the viability of nuclear fuel is the fact that it was avoidable. In the sense that the disaster was the result of negligence, the lives of many could have been saved (â€Å"Chernobyl Accident 1986†, 2012). This does not mean that nuclear fuel should be abandoned as a whole. This was what happened in Japan following the earthquake related disaster in 2011. The shutting down of nuclear power generators followed public protests and the very option of nuclear fuel for energy was abandoned (McKeating, 2012). Nuclear energy does have its own disadvantages. The waste that forms as a by-product during the production of nuclear energy is difficult to dispose of. Apart from this, carelessness on the part of the people who operate the reactors can lead to massive loss of life and property. The operation of reactors needs to be done with the utmost of care for the safety of the people who work at the reactor and the ones who live near it. The problem of the lack of fuel is also something that needs to be looked into while assessing nuclear fuel as a viable option (â€Å"Disadvantages of nuclear power†, 2010). The advantages, however, are many. The waste that is produced is very small since very small quantities are required for the

Questions Regarding Balance Sheets And Assets Finance Essay

Questions Regarding Balance Sheets And Assets Finance Essay The first type of financial asset is in the form of a claim that is kept against the earnings or the money of a firm or even a household or the Government for that matter. It is also of the form of a certification, or a receipt, a legal file or one that it maintained as a database in the computer. A financial asset is now used in accordance with the technology that has developed of late. In many cases where the traditional approach is still being used, it is also of the form of currency. The relative importance of the financial assets has changed over the past five years with the use of improved technology that the world has. There are easier sources of transportation as compared to what used to be in initial times. The financial assets can be increased in diversities because their physical form is not all that important. They do not depreciate as it used to be one of the restrictions about five decades ago. Now that the amount of securities have changed over the past many years, it is sensible to include more number of financial assets. This is because there never used to be market forces like equity, debt and derivatives in the initial days. As the options of making money through financial assets have increased so much over the past five decades, there is more number of people interested in the same. The primary risk associated with different forms of securities as a representation of financial asset is different. For examples, the debts are of high risk for the company as they have to be paid at the earliest and the equity is of highest risk for the investors as they would be paid last. (Types of financial assets, 2010) Question 10. What is meant by a off- balance sheet activity? What are some of the forces responsible for them? Off-balance sheet activities are those activities that are associated with the savings of a business which are not inclusive of loans or deposits. These activities are known to generate a good level of fees but at the same time, the liabilities or the assets that they produce or generally contingent in nature and they do not appear in the balance sheets without having the distinction of an actual asset or a liability which has a value or a cost associated with it. There are many examples of the same. Some of them include interest rate swaps, commitments in loans, resources that are associated with the selling of assets etc. The forces behind the off sheet activities are as follows: Improvement in Security Increment in Globalization Advancement in technology Innovation in the field of finance Deregulation Question 11. How does one distinguish between an off- balance sheet asset and an off balance sheet activities liability? All those entities of businesses, households and even Governments that are representation of resources which would be of a future benefit are included amongst the off-balance financial assets. It indicates a positive signal even though it is not included in the balance sheet. The benefit with the off-balance asset lies in the fact that it is not included in calculating the taxes of the firm. These are some of the items that are not mentioned in the balance sheet but would certainly require a future payment to be made. There are many examples of the same. They are litigation; guarantees issued by firms for a better performance in the future, renegotiation especially that done with the Government. The above mentioned off-balance sheet assets and liabilities can be differentiated on the basis of the positive and the negative returns that they are bound to give in the future. Even though they are not mentioned in the balance sheet, an experienced personality in finance can make a distinction based on the future prospects. (Off-Balance Sheet Liability, 2010) Question 12. What are the main off balance sheet activities undertaken by commercial banks? Due to the level of risk involved in the current financial markets, major commercial banks and even non-banking institutions, foreign institutions, and also many commercial banks have now started to use a number of ways of making non-traditional earnings as a source of income. So, there are many loan commitments and others as mentioned that are being used so as to make incomes. Amongst the mentioned activities, the major ones that are now being used predominantly by the commercial banks are as follows: Interest Rate Swaps (SWAP) This is a particular type of contract that is used to swap the rate of payment of interest from fixed to variable or even vice-versa. So, whenever there is a requirement to change a fixed rate of interest stream to that including a variable rate of interest stream, this commercial activity is adopted. The risks that are associated with the swaps is measured in terms of the swap in the rate of interest to the total assets of the company. One would generally consider a negative relationship between the measurement of swap and the rate of interest. Question 14. What is the difference between economies of scale and economies of scope? Economies of scale deals with the change in the output as compared to the cost incurred. It must be acknowledged here that the economies of scale estimates the fact that the output can be more than doubled for having lesser than double cost incurred by the firm. There is also a contradiction which is mentioned as the fact that diseconomies of scale mean to double the output would require more than doubling in the cost. Hence, economy of scale is basically a function of the production as a measurement of the cost incurred in the same. As far as economies of scope is concerned, it deals with the fact that of two firms work in a joint manner, then the concerned output would be more than the sum of the output when two forms work individually. This takes into count the fact that a joint production would require only the work of a few laborers which when working in individual forms would only interfere with the jobs of the others. So, in other words the economies of scope notifies the total amount of resources for a particular joint firm is lesser than the individual firms which are only associated with spoiling the job. The terms say that it is always better to work as joint firms rather than individual firms so as to make maximum profits. The only fault that comes along is the risk that follows. So, the cost of economies of scope just involves the risk of working together. If this can be minimized, firms should work together. Question 19. How do small bank activities differ from large bank activities? Small banks are basically involved in raising funds for businesses of a smaller level. These banks are mainly concerned with the investment of the form of foreign corporate investment, trade finance, facility of transactions internationally, and also foreign real estate. As far as the larger banks are concerned, they are basically involved in raising funds for businesses and also for registration with the Government authority of that country. Equities and debts and issues and then making sales of the same in the market are all done by the larger banks. Initially, the investment banks were indulged in more or less selling of securities but now they are also concerned with mergers and acquisitions. These banks did not deal with the general public in the past but now they have been doing that ever since the point of equality developed with the development of technology. Question 20. How has the performance of the commercial banking industry changed in the last decade? The performance of commercial banks has changed drastically over the last many years. Initially, the commercial banks would simply be engaged in investment banking. But the conditions have changed drastically ever since. The reason for the same is that it also includes the functioning of underwriting, being an intermediary between investment in public and an issue of securities amongst them. They have also started to be engaged in mergers and acquisitions even with the corporate organizations, they have also started to act like brokers for the clients in other financial institutions and banks. The commercial banks have therefore started to use the change in technology much to their benefits and also of those of the clients. So, they have made it extremely easier for the general public with the introduction of the facilities as has been mentioned.

Porphyria’s Lover Essay -- English Literature Essays

Porphyria’s Lover The finest woks of Browning endeavor to explain the mechanics of human psychology. The motions of love, hate, passion, instinct, violence, desire, poverty, violence, and sex and sensuousness are raised from the dead in his poetry with a striking virility and some are even introduced with a remarkable brilliance. Thanks to the changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution, so many people living in such close quarters, poverty, violence, and sex became part of everyday life. The absence of family and community ties meant newfound personal independence; it also meant the loss of a social safety net. The mid-nineteenth century also saw the rapid growth of newspapers, which functioned not as the current-events journals of today but as scandal sheets, filled with stories of violence and carnality. Hurrying pedestrians, bustling shops, and brand-new goods filled the streets, and individuals had to take in millions of separate perceptions a minute. The resulting over stimulation led, according to many theorists, to a sort of numbness. Notably many writers now felt that in order to provoke an emotional reaction they had to compete with the turmoils and excitements of everyday life had to shock their audience in ever more novel and sensational ways. Thus violence also became a sort of aesthetic choice for many creative people. Browning can be charged of also employing violence as a tool for evoking aesthetic brilliance but this is only at the superficial level. Because when it comes to the use of violence in his poems we find them as close to reality as reality itself. His poems show us the human passions in flesh and blood and he was not going to be one who denied the presence of violence as a potent human passion or one who presented it as something out of proportion just to create sensation. His incorporation of violence with other human passions was real just and fully understandable. Many of Browning's more disturbing poems, including "Porphyria's Lover" and "My Last Duchess," reflect this notion. In his poem â€Å"Porphyria’s Lover† we find Browning at his best. The poem is a love poem†¦ but has a lot more to offer than just the bright sunny side of love. For Browning love was a passion, which had its destructive side as well. But this did not in anyway lessen or tarnish its reputation as being the purest emotion. In fact the destruction... ...God has not said a word!" (59-60). Browning presents the viewpoint of a speaker educated in the divine workings of an ultimate force, yet the long-stifled yearnings of an unjustly socialized man color the intensity of the situation. In Browning's dramatic monologue, God's hand of judgment shifts away from the murderer himself and onto the culture that first inhibited the speaker's rational thought. Browning's characterization of a nameless speaker in "Porphyria's Lover" forms an unexpectedly conclusive response towards the sensual numbness of Victorian society. While the suggested insanity of the speaker would traditionally indicate the narrator's unreliability in a moral sense, Browning constructs the isolated scene such that the lover's emotional internalization is not only understandable, but divinely justified. The musings and actions of this unreliable narrator serve to illustrate the consequence of society's confines in a shockingly violent release. Through naturally flowing language, this poetic account of burning emotion within a setting of tranquil domesticity presents the all-consuming power of human sensuality in its bleakest attempt to override social structures.

The primary aim of the fume scrubber is to undertake the caustic exhausts, moist gases and air flows with dust nowadays in an industrial environment. There are three chief types of designs that have been developed in order to undertake the issue of remotion of contaminated air by purification procedure utilizing the appropriate fume scrubber. These are as listed below: Impingement Plate Scrubbers Packed bed Scrubbers Venturi Scrubbers Impingement Plate scrubbers are the scrubbers in which gas is passed vertically through all right perforations in a home base and is collided on marks and contacted with H2O or any other liquid fluxing horizontally across the home base. Pressure bead is one of the premier factors that determine the pick of scrubber. The figure and types of phases in home base scrubbers are specially designed to the conditions ; nevertheless these can be modified depending on alteration in the conditions or demands. Packed bed scrubbers are designed in such a manner that flow of gas rises, counter current to the flow of the scouring liquid through a jammed tower type construction, in which the taint or purification procedure takes topographic point. These types of scrubbers are besides designed in a horizontal alliance. The horizontal designed is used where multiple phase scouring is required or besides used in countries with less ceiling tallness. Venturi Scrubbers consists of an external venture subdivision which is designed to increase the speed of the incoming air before the air is combined with the scouring liquid and centrifuge where the remotion of contaminations take topographic point and hence sublimating the air. This type of scrubber is applied in procedures where condensation of liquid is present or metallic bluess are present or in the presence of chemical reaction which subsequently consequences in production of toxic exhausts for illustration ammonium chloride. Particle aggregation chiefly takes topographic point due to impaction as the fumes gas which is exhausted from the procedure and base on ballss through spray. The turbulency happening due to this causes the atoms to come in contact with the wet droplets and hence get collected. The efficiency of aggregation of atom additions with the nozzle force per unit area increasing which gives rise to an addition in liquid to gas ratio. This will besides ensue in an addition in force per unit area bead, which once more causes a rise to coerce bead. This type of scouring system has some restrictions every bit good such as care job. Venturi scrubbers are subjected scratch job in the high-speed countries such as the recess and mercantile establishment.3.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of ScrubberIn order to compare the scrubber in footings of working phenomena, the device is usually compared and evaluated with fabric filters and Electrostatic precipitators. The advantages of the scrubber over this device are as listed in the tabular array on the following page:AdvantageDisadvantagesCan work at high temperatures, high humidness Gas StreamsProne to corrosionMinimal exposure to fire and explosive jeopardiesRequires High PowerCan roll up both gases and particulate affairWater disposal jobsNo Secondary dust beginningDifficult merchandise recovery.Requires minimal infinite compared to other control devicesVertical clip demands height clearanceTable Advantages and Disadvantages of Fume Scrubber3.2 Construction MaterialsAs corrosion is one of the major job that could impact the systems behavior, the building of the scrubber is done chiefly in many different stuffs runing from Fibre reinforced plastic, PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Mild steel, Stainless Steel, FRP-lined mild steel, nickel metals and aluminum. The building stuff choice procedure is based on the demands and design footing provided by the client.3.3 Suitable ApplicationsScrubbers can put to death the riddance of acidic, alkalic, soluble organic gasses, bluess, and odours get downing a gas watercourse. The jammed bed engineering scouring comprises the widest array of vapor and gas scouring maps. When fabrication of smoke scrubbers, it permit to choose the finest stuffs of production, in add-on to choose the finest wadding for the intent. Fume scrubber designed for the subsequent intents: Metal Pickling Lines Chemical Cleaning/Milling Lines Acid Etching Lines Acid /Chemical Bulk Storage Solvent Bulk Storage Metal Finishing Lines Metal Plating Lines Chemical Mixing Operations Chemical Processing Equipment Food Processing Pharmaceutical Blending Pharmaceutical Production3.4 EfficiencyScrubbers include a acute measure of vigorous surface country with arbitrary dumped packing. The packing stuff elected is sourced on the maps ; attesting that it rupture the liquid watercourse into legion, smooth surface movies that generate in-depth gas/liquid familiarity at a low force per unit area diminution. In the class of procedure, gas watercourses rises by agencies of a jammed bed although scouring liquid class down ( by gravitation ) over the packing stuff. The counter-flow lineations standard beliefs most favorable mass transportation.3.5 Benefits of Fume Scrubbers:Very Small Footprint Ease of Installation Variable Packing Height Local or Remote Blower Local or remote control panel Multiple Phases Height & A ; Width FlexibilitySignificance of fume scrubberIt is an air pollution control device that utilizes an inordinate energy liquid spray in order to eliminate aerosol and gaseous pollutants get downing an air watercourse. However, the gases are removed in two ways which are: – By soaking up Chemical reaction Gass are discharge from the burning procedure is conceded by agencies of armored combat vehicle enveloping a lime substance acknowledged as limestone slurry which can restrict and antagonize the S dioxide. Engineers concept and saddle horse high competency, depleted continuance smoke exhaust systems proposed to extinguish H2O soluble contaminations through gas soaking up and mechanical encroachment. These units can be standard-sized or usage built with the purpose of correspond to infinite and height boundaries or outline disposition. Appropriate smokes control setup in add-on necessitates the appropriate mechanism and system incorporation to be the chiefly efficient. In add-on to it, declaration to fume and wash up jobs by agencies of: Entire system design and integrating Automated pH control Performance information for air licenses Professional installing by experient applied scientists Extensive experience in system design Choice of proper stuffs of building Utilize high public presentation Lamtec wadding Flexibility in taking constituents for best public presentation Fume Scrubbers propose: Translating elements in gas watercourse into more effectual substances Geting rid of atoms from gas watercourses A choice of sizes, with the criterion sizes being: 24 † , 30 † , 36 † , 48 † and 60 † diameter scrubbers. Fabrication of both perpendicular and horizontal scrubbers harmonizing to your demands. Materials of creative activity utilised fluctuate depending on the chemical and procedure environments necessitated Fume scrubbers assembled are individually fabricated to extinguish mist, entrained liquid atoms, noxious caustic gases and bluess from the exhaust air watercourse. A jammed bed utilizing Lintec wadding is the bosom of the scrubber. Pollutant gases can normally be eliminated to any needed soaking up to convene confined air pollution ordinances. The pollutants are eliminated by agencies of the followers: Gas Absorption – toxic or otherwise unwanted gasses are captivated into the liquid section. Impingement – Particulate affair is eliminated by agencies of encroachment in the map of it is foremost forced by agencies of a moist packed bed and so by agencies of a stripe blade or mesh tablet filters subdivision.Equations used in fume scouring:The gases normally scrubbed include HCl produced from metal pickling. This is removed by a neutralization reaction with sodium hydrated oxide. The reaction is shown below: Another common smoke gas is azotic oxide every bit good as other N oxides. These will usually respond with the O in the air and the H2O vapor to organize azotic acid. Since it is acidic, azotic acid can be scrubbed by utilizing base. Nitrogen oxides tend to be produced from burning reactions. The reaction for this is: The merchandises of the scouring are so dissolved in the H2O and taken off from the air. Another common pollutant is sulphur dioxide. This is a gas that is produced by assorted industrial procedures such as doing semiconducting materials, batteries, and burning of sulfur incorporating fossil fuels. This gas, like N oxides, dissolves in H2O to organize sulfuric acid which is scrubbed with the usage of base. The undermentioned chemical reactions are known to take topographic point. A closely related pollutant is hydrogen sulphide gas. This is treated in a similar manner to sulfur dioxide. The chemical reactions speaking topographic point in the fume scrubber are: The salt merchandise of the reaction is taken off with the H2O therefore liberating the air from the H sulfide gas. One common gas is carbon dioxide gas. This is produced chiefly by burning and when heating carbonates. It is responsible for planetary heating and can be removed by change overing it into a carbonate that can be dissolved off from the air by the H2O. The chemical used is sodium hydrated oxide and the merchandise of the reaction is baking sodium carbonate, Na carbonate. The reaction is: Unburned hydrocarbons are besides an issue. These are dealt with by oxidizing them utilizing hydrogen peroxide or carboxylic acids. The merchandises are carbon dioxide and H2O. These can be farther scrubbed to bring forth carbonates to acquire rid of the C dioxide. The equations are: AndType of scrubberWet scrubberA development of pollution manipulates engineering. The chief principal of operation of the moisture fume scrubber is the usage of liquids in wetting the air fluxing indoors. The contaminations will fade out into the liquid thereby traveling from the gas stage to the liquid stage. The air that leaves the scrubber is well cleaner than that air which entered it. The wet fume scrubber is able to command the flow of many pollutants including acids and the acidic gases e.g. HCl, SO2 etc that are produced from the assorted industrial procedures when handling metals. Wet scrubber is operated to scour assorted pollutants for case air and dust atoms. The operation of wet scouring involves contact of particulate affair along with the scouring solution for case H2O, complex solutions of reagents that peculiarly aim for house compounds. In add-on to this, the efficiency of the fume scrubber must be high to take all or bulk of the pollutants. In order for this to be achieved, the following techniques could be implemented: Increasing abode clip in the scrubber Increasing the surface country of the scrubber ‘s solution utilizing spray nose, packed towers. Bettering the soaking up of contaminations by taking an appropriate liquid There are two chief types of moisture smoke scrubbers. The first 1 is the venture nozzle type and the 2nd 1 is the jammed bed fume scrubber. An illustration of a wet fume scrubber is shown in figure 1 below. Mention: – Wang, Lawrence K, Pereira, Norman L & A ; Hung, Yung TSE. ( 2004 ) Air Pollution Control Engineering ( Volume1 ) : Wet Scrubber. USA: Human Press IncFigure 1, an illustration of a wet fume scrubber [ 1 ]The venture type moisture fume scrubber uses a individual nose to spray the liquid at really high force per unit area into the reaction chamber. The high force per unit area flow is aimed at the bottleneck of the chamber which is the venture subdivision. An of import and desirable effect of this manner of operation is that the venture wet fume scrubber does non necessitate the usage of a fan or a blower to travel and go around the air in the system as the force per unit area distribution creates the forces necessary for this to go on. Because of this, the venture type moisture fume scrubber is besides called ouster venture scrubber. Another of import facet of the operation is that this type of wet fume scrubber can non straight take contaminations and exhausts with a tom sizes less than a micrometer. Since the ouster venture wet fume scrubber relies on the force per unit area and turbulency to blend the air and the liquid together, so an addition in force per unit area which leads to an addition in turbulency will maximize the commixture of the two flows ( the contaminated air and the liquid ) therefore taking to an addition in efficiency. The 2nd type of wet fume scrubber is known as the jammed bed moisture fume scrubber. Here a blower is used to coerce the air with contaminations to travel to the commixture chamber where the pollutants are removed. This type of wet smoke scrubbers requires less energy to run. However, it can non take atoms less than 5 microns in size. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]Dry scrubberDry scrubbers comprises of a chemical interpolation zone followed by manner of a reaction zone where the pollutant in the gas kernel treated counters with the base. Dry scouring involves two criterion procedures which are at present utilised in industries. First, a dry soaking up which introduces powered alkali soaking up agent addicted to foul gas watercourse. Second, semidry ; this instills resolute slurry into the contaminated gas watercourse and eliminates the liquid by agencies of vaporization, separating the vigorous, dry base soaking up agent. Both the procedures mentioned above eradicate base agent with an electrostatic pr ecipitator. [ 4 ] Mention: – Wang, Lawrence K, Pereira, Norman L & A ; Hung, Yung TSE. ( 2004 ) Air Pollution Control Engineering ( Volume1 ) : Dry Scrubber. USA: Human Press IncStructures of smoke scrubbersVertical smoke scrubberThe perpendicular assembly is a counter-flow type with contaminated gas traveling upwards and reticulating liquid spraying downward into the mixing country. Gaseous contaminations are absorbed by the liquid due to solubility degrees or by chemical reaction. Counter-flow scrubbers can hold higher remotion efficiency than a Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber. The perpendicular counter-flow design typically provides the best scrubbing efficiency of bluess and is the most common design found in most industries. Figure 2 below shows an illustration.Figure 2 a perpendicular packed bed fume scrubberHorizontal smoke scrubberThis is a cross-flow design where the scouring liquid flows vertically downwards while the gas passes horizontally through the wadding commixture subdivision. A Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber is used when limited headway is an issue at a installation or when low profile is desired for roof-top applications. Multiple phases can be easy provided in one lodging with separate sumps and pumps if required. The cross-flow design is less susceptible to bed fouling for airstreams that may incorporate solid particulate.Figure 3 A horizontal packed bed fume scrubberComponent of fume scrubberRECIRCULATING Tank CONVERGENT TOP CONE Scrub Tank MIST ELIMINATOR RECIRCULATING Pump Motor WITH BLOWER NOZZLE PIPE HOOD / DUCTFunction of constituentRECIRCULATING Tank: –Bacillus AFigure Water armored combat vehicle in a fume scrubberIt comprises of combination of legion chemical intents for scouring process and H2O provender in the function of put in for the unneeded elements to repair downwards which has been set away through mercantile establishment port. It is utilised to allow efficient use of the trustee. In this undertaking H2O is utilized in such a manner that it will blend with the dust atoms coming from the recess and will settle at the underside of the armored combat vehicle. The armored combat vehicle has a drainage mercantile establishment which will be used when the armored combat vehicle requires emptying and cleaning procedure. This is denoted by missive A in the above figure Letter B denotes at the mercantile establishment of the H2O armored combat vehicle, which is connected to the recirculating pump. This so drives the H2O upward which will be sprinkled in the scouring armored combat vehicle as explained subsequently.Convergent Top cone: –Figure Convergent Top ConeThe above figure is of a convergent cone which is comprises of the top subdivision of the fume scrubber tower. The portion is designed in such a manner that it provides a meeting way to the fluid to flux out of the fume scrubber. The convergent form allows the fluid flow to be extracted at a higher speed ensuing in a lessening in a force per unit area. This is supported by Bernoulli ‘s equation. On the top face of the convergent cone an extractor goon is placed which will make a force per unit area differential resulting in the suction of the pure air.Scrubing armored combat vehicle: –Calciferol C Bacillus AFigure Scrubbing TankThe inner of the armored combat vehicle is enveloped in the thick of acerb cogent evidence for case acid brick and it is a location where scouring development takes topographic point. Scrubing armored combat vehicle interruptions free toxic stuff and gases from air, which so gets assorted with the H2O and is deposited in the H2O armored combat vehicle as mentioned earlier. The armored combat vehicle has three recesss and one mercantile establishment. Letters a‚? , B and C are recesss and Letter is Outlet. Inlet A is the chief recess to the scouring armored combat vehicle this is from where the air enters the scouring armored combat vehicle. The air come ining the scouring armored combat vehicle is a assorted air i.e. with drosss. The elaborate dimensions of all the parts can be found in the undertaking logbook. Inlet B is the recess from which the H2O is sprinkled in to the scouring armored combat vehicle. This sprinkled H2O is will so unite with the drosss or dust and will therefore settle in the H2O armored combat vehicle at the underside of the construction. The sprinkled H2O enters the scouring armored combat vehicle by agencies of the recirculating pump connected externally. Inlet C and Outlet D are the countries where a wadding medium is placed. The ground behind the fond regard of the wadding media is to supply a maximal surface contact between the gas and the scouring liquid by easing uninterrupted formation of droplets throughout the jammed bed. This will ensue in addition in efficiency of a scrubber. The efficiency is besides depended on the tallness of the packing stuff. This maintains a unvarying volume and flow. Besides provides a high liquid to gas ratio.Moisture Eliminator: –Figure Mist EliminatorMist Eliminator is a device that is placed in order to maintain the liquid in the vas. The ground behind add-on of this characteristic is that without this characteristic the droplets become airborne and are carried out of the vas by traveling fluid which causes job as liquid gets collected in the part where it is non meant to be present. This device is besides referred to as Moisture Eliminator or Moisture centrifuges. The image below describes a general procedure of how a wet eliminator works.Figure Working process of a Mist Eliminator [ 5 ]As it can be seen from figure 5 Mist eliminator captures the liquid drains. Mist is carried by vapor. The overhead vapor shown in the figure is free of all the drosss that are being suctioned by the goon.RECIRCULATING Pump: –Figure Recirculation PumpThe chief map of the recirculation pump is to supply H2O to the scouring armored combat vehicle. The pump is driven by the motor which is fixed to the land. The motor provides a impulsive force for the H2O to be pushed into the scouring armored combat vehicle. The H2O from the H2O armored combat vehicle is suctioned by this pump. One of the positive facets of the motor design is that it will non be affected even in the instance of a presence of chemical in the H2O.Blower is a constituent that will force the air to the ambiance. The blower consists of usher vanes that direct the air flow out of the system.Motor with BlowerFigure Moto r with BlowerNozzle Pipe: –Figure Pipe with NozzleThe above diagram is of a pipe holding little pores in it. These pores allow the scattering of H2O which is coming from the recirculating pump. The working of this constituent is in the same mode as that of the sprinkler. The efficiency of this portion will hold an consequence on the efficiency of the fume scrubber. This is because the sum of H2O sprinkled from this pipe will ensue in the sum of dust being collected.Hood: –ABacillusFigure HoodThe goon is a pipe linking the fume scrubber with the blower. Inlet A is connected to the top of the convergent top cone subdivision of the fume scrubber. Mercantile establishment B is connected to the blower which will so steer the air flow out of the system as explained earlier. The decompression sicknesss in the goon will do a difference in the force per unit area and this force per unit area should be overcome by the blower in order for the system to run successfully.615852347O peration of fume scrubber12111491610131Figure Fume Scrubber Set upFigure 10 shows a complete installing set up of the fume scrubber with each of the constituents separately labelled by different Numberss. The maps of each constituent are as explained earlier, but the following description will sketch the working of the fume scrubber in an industrial environment. First, the installing is done either in a perpendicular or horizontal orientation depending on the design specification. The design selected in this scenario is of perpendicular orientation. In this peculiar type of fume scrubber assorted air enters the recess at point 1 from the room, chamber, etc. at a specified value of the volume flow rate. Item 15 are the recesss and mercantile establishments of the packing media. The map of the wadding media is to cut down the speed of the air which is coming from the recess ( item 1 ) . This will blockade the assorted air. The air is so in the assorted province inside the point 2 ( sc ouring armored combat vehicle ) . At this point, the recirculation pump ( item 13 ) is started which will so pull the H2O from the mercantile establishment in H2O armored combat vehicle ( item 10 ) into the recirculation pump and is so discharged into the pipe ( item 6 ) and from this point onward the H2O so enters the scouring armored combat vehicle by agencies of sprinkler ( item 5 ) . The H2O is so assorted with the impure air. The dust atoms in the air so combines with the H2O doing it heavier and therefore deposited at the underside of the H2O armored combat vehicle. Item 3 is the wet eliminator which collects the H2O droplets and eliminates it from the vapor. This will forestall the H2O or wet from traveling into the goon via the top conelike subdivision ( item 4 ) of the scrubber. The pure air is drawn into the goon ( item 7 ) . This suction procedure is done with the assistance of the blower ( item 14 ) . The outlet terminal of the goon is connected to a subdivision of canal which consists of usher vanes ( point 9 ) , set up in such a manner that air is directed in the upward way towards the perpendicular canal ( item 8 ) which so discharges the pure air to the ambiance. The H2O from the H2O armored combat vehicle can be extracted manually detecting the H2O quality through a crystalline screen. After the armored combat vehicle is to the full emptied the H2O can be refilled into the armored combat vehicle by an extra recess which is located at the back terminal of the H2O armored combat vehicle every bit shown as figure 16 in the figure 10. The chief characteristic of the full procedure is the proper recirculation of H2O in the system, which mixes with the impure air to cut down the pollution degrees of the incoming gaseous mixture, therefore supplying a more purified and uncontaminated air to the ambiance leting a control in the air pollution and therefore lending to the decrease in the production of green house gases ensuing in the planetary heating.Cad theoretical account of fume scrubberFigure Isometric ViewThe CAD theoretical account was made of a jammed bed fume scrubber utilizing pro applied scientist. The fume scrubber was designed by piecing together different parts. The parts of the fume scrubber were modelled separately and so assembled together. The diagram above shows a fume scrubber with all parts assembled together. The bluish chamber has been made transparent to enable the reader to see the internal parts of the fume scrubber. The parts were explained separately in a old subdivision. The assembly was made by stipulating the restraints for each portion. For illustration, the bluish chamber is to be steadfastly attached to the ruddy base. Therefore, the restraints were specified that at the junction between the bluish chamber and the ruddy base, an Ten way and Y way restraint was applied. Another illustration is the long ruddy connection tubing that joins the bluish chamber at the top. In that instance, the restraints are that the axes go throughing through the Centres of each must be coinciding i.e. the cross subdivisions of the two tubings must be homocentric. The same can be applied to all the other parts in the assembly. After the basic construction of the fume scrubber has been made by piecing the single parts, the moving parts and the mechanisms had to be specified. The chief moving machine is the blower which made of the fan and the motor. First, the mechanism was specified. The mechanism used was a rotating articulation applied to the shaft of the fan and the blower. Then, the way of rotary motion of the mechanism was specified. Finally, the interaction with other parts of the assembly was specified. This is fundamentally to guarantee that no struggle occurs when the joint rotates e.g. such as the fan clashing with the base or with the ruddy goon. This was a really basic description of the methodological analysis employed in piecing the fume scrubber and making the gesture simulation. The figure 12 on the following page shows the front position of the fume scrubber for better apprehension of the system and besides the construction.Figure Fume ScrubberCFD of fume scrubberThe CFD ( Comp utational Fluid Dynamics ) analysis theoretical accounts the flow of the air through the fume scrubber. This gives a basic thought of the flight of the airstream and helps the interior decorators to modify the construction consequently. The CFD simulates how the watercourse behaves from entry to go out, and bespeaking the countries where the flow looses energy. The airstream used here is simulated at a volume flow rate of 10m3/s fluxing in from the chief recess country. Plots below are of the speed contour secret plans and of Velocity and Velocity in the y-direction.Figure: speed contour secret planFigure: Y – speed counter secret planThe graph shows the speed of the airstream at different countries of the flow inside the chief vas. As can be observed, the speed is the highest at the top of the fume scrubber, bespeaking that the air moves at a high velocity at the top. Areas at a low speed have dveloped whirls, which result due to air at opposite speeds fluxing adjacently, doing the speeds to call off out. Looking at the Y – speed secret plan, it can be seen that some portion of the recess air flow moves upwards straight, while another volume of air moves downwardly. This portion so bounces back in to the upwards traveling air and merges with the flow.Figure: Flow Trajectory of airstreamThe above secret plan gives a clear simulation of the flow forms of the air flow inside the construction signifier recess to outlet. As can be seen, th is trajectory representation mirrors the speed contour secret plans. Air moves from the recess in both the upwards and the downwards way. Upwards speed reaches its upper limit at the top of the mercantile establishment cone, while the other portion of the air flows back from the bottom towards the top. In the diagram, it can be seen that the air from the underside of the fume scrubber merges with the upwards fluxing air, which accelerates it further and tends to travel it towards the top mercantile establishment. The air flow simulated here is wholly disruptive. This means that the streamlines are non laminal and be given to travel in different waies once they exit the controlled infinite of the recess pipe. This pattern is true in the sense that a true complete laminar flow does non be in the existent universe, and to pattern the flight of the air as a turbulent fluid flow will give more accurate readings, which will be helpful in usage for farther computations which can be taken o ut for different parametric quantities.FEA of fume scrubberWhen planing a portion or constituent, it is necessary to analyze the elements and understand the forces impacting the operation of the system, and to set the construction consequently to obtain a successful theoretical account of the concluding merchandise. Transporting out the FEA ( Finite Element Analysis ) of a construction reveals the emphasis degrees, strain undertaken, and the supplanting of the construction under the applied force. There are assorted forces moving on the fume scrubber, nevertheless, the chief forces which apply a important consequence of the construction are the weight of the construction itself, the weight of the H2O in the H2O armored combat vehicle, and the force exerted by the inflowing airstream. However, sing the stuff selected for the fume scrubber, which is unstained steel 304, the initial premise is that the construction will hold a high value of the factor of safety, which is an optimal factor used to depict the dependability and sustainability of the fume scrubber.13.1 CalculationsSee Appendix for measure by measure computation carried out to cipher the weight of the construction. Besides the computation for the Head losingss in the recirculation pump can be found in the Appendix.13.2 AnalysisThe FEA analysis of the fume scrubber is evaluated by sing it being fixed at the base of the theoretical account. This ensures that the fume scrubber does non skid from its base. However some scrubbers might be intended to hold a sliding base, they have different specifications to go to to.Figure: fixture of the base of the H2O armored combat vehicleThe forces being applied on the construction are the weight and the force per unit area due to the H2O and air. However, the air is fluxing at a comparatively low velocity and due to its low denseness, it does non impact a force sufficient plenty to associate to the weight and H2O force per unit area, therefore it is omitted from the computations for the simplification of the modeling. Transporting out engagement of the chief construction, it provides with the values of the emphasis distribution, supplanting and the factor of safety of the construction. These belongingss are really utile when depicting the sum of force that the stuff can defy. It besides suffices as to how much excess burden above the design emphasis can be undertaken by the construction if needed.Figure: emphasis distributionThe figure shows the emphasis distribution across the construction due to the weight of the construction and the force per unit area on the H2O armored combat vehicle due to the H2O contained in it. As can be seen, the maximal emphasis occurs at the Centre of the H2O armored combat vehicle, which is about 39.2 MPa. This occurs because the centreline of the H2O armored combat vehicle experiences weight of the construction from the top and the reaction of the base from the underside, which tends to make a high emphasis at the center of the armored combat vehicle.Figure: supplant ing secret planThe supplanting secret plan mirrors the emphasis secret plan in footings of the critical countries where the supplanting is at a upper limit. Although the supplanting is higher on the armored combat vehicle than at the other countries, the value is comparatively low, approximately 0.09034mm and does non impact the armored combat vehicle in any physical position.Figure: factor of safety secret planAs represented by the factor of safety secret plan, the minimal factor of safety is about 5.27, which occurs at the H2O armored combat vehicle. This means that the construction can at least prolong about more than 5 times the emphasis that it was designed to achieve. This reflects the dependability and sustainability of the construction, which is really important to any company willing to put in it. This besides represents a step of the life-time of the fume scrubber, detailing how long the system will work expeditiously until it is sent to be scrapped.DiscussionThe usage of fume scrubbers in industry is increasing and is being incorporated in different procedures such as metal intervention, metal pickling, and machining. The efficiency of fume scrubbers available today can near 99.9 % . The procedure of smoke scouring is of import for the protection of the environment and for wash uping the gases and contaminated air produced or used by the assorted industrial procedures described above. The design of fume scrubbers is a long and iterative procedure. The demands for fume scrubbers are that they must be able to scour exhausts with atoms that can be less than five micrometers in size. The operation of the fume scrubber will differ harmonizing to the rule employed. These different rules of operation have been discussed in this study in item. Furthermore, a moisture packed bed perpendicular smoke scrubber has been described in inside informations in this study with the design procedure outlined and the analysis of the scrubber. The analysis included transp orting out a CFD analysis to see the public presentation of the scrubber in footings of decelerating down the air and supplying the force per unit area needed for the disruptive commixture of the smoke atoms and gases with the cleansing liquid ( which efficaciously works by fade outing the gases and atoms in the exhausts ) . In this peculiar design although is non shown here, many jobs were encountered in the design of this scrubber to enable the efficient commixture to take topographic point. So, the system was modified several times to make the coveted public presentation. In the CFD analysis, as discussed in the CFD subdivision it is noted that the velocity at the recess to the scrubber of the spray ( the cleansing liquid spray ) was reduced as the country of the cross-section of the fume scrubber increased. This created some jobs in the initial design as it led to †uncontrolled † flow of the liquid spray significance that it is disruptive but, it does non follow the way intended for it to travel through. This job was solved by the aid of CFD analysis together with the fluid kineticss knowledge base. The force per unit area inside the fume scrubber is non high ( at least in this instance as the type used was packed bed type ) . If the design made were a venturi type smoke scrubber, so the force per unit area used will hold to be considered since it can be rather high. However, in the instance of the design presented here the force per unit area was non high and so it was ignored when a emphasis analysis was carried out. There are grounds for this. First, the force per unit area is really little and handling the fume scrubber as a force per unit area vas, it is seen by transporting out a simple computation that the emphasis in the walls, which will be maximal as a hoop emphasis, will non be high to be of importance. However, the perpendicular smoke scrubber besides acts a column or a prance and is subjected to a burden due to its ain weight that acts as a compaction burden ( ideally ) which can do buckling of the scrubber. Buckling is an utmost instance as the wall thickness has to be really little and the tallness of the fume scrubber really big or the stuff from which it is made is holding a low snap modulus. The FEA showed that no buckling was at that place and so the compaction strength of the scrubber was equal. There is a safety factor for the scrubber and this besides takes into history the little force per unit area rise inside the scrubber. Again, the emphasiss in the walls due to the internal force per unit area have been ignored because these are little plenty to be neglected but for a venture type, these would hold been basically included in the emphasis analysis of the scrubber.DecisionThe decision from the above is that the usage of fume scrubber is a really cost effectual method of cleaning procedure air from the exhausts and suspended atoms in the air. The concern director or the mill which wishes to use fum e scrubbers in its operations will be benefit from improved pureness of the fumes gases and better working environment in welding and metal machining premises. The clean air is an indispensable legal demand today and the usage of fume scrubbers helps make the set aims. Furthermore, the fume scrubber reduces environmental pollution that arises due to the particulates every bit good as the acidic and caustic gases produced in the exhausts. The chief issues to see are the type of fume scrubber to use, the constellation, and the cost of the scrubber. The type will be dictated by the energy supply available to run the scrubber as the venture type scrubbers need to bring forth a high force per unit area spray which requires a big energy input. The jammed bed type has lower energy demands. The constellation to utilize i.e. horizontal or perpendicular will be dictated by the infinite available in the premises where the fume scrubber will be installed. The concluding factor is the cost of th e scrubber which can be justified by transporting a cost analysis to compare the different types of the scrubbers to utilize.Mentions: –Kingston University, ( Internet ) Available at & lt ; & lt ; hypertext transfer protocol: //www.monroeenvironmental.com/air-scrubber-venturi.htm accessed 18/04/2010 & gt ; & gt ; Kingston University, ( Internet ) Available at hypertext transfer protocol: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejector_venturi_scrubber accessed on 18/04/2010 Kingston University, ( Internet ) available at hypertext transfer protocol: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packed_bed accessed on 18/04/2010 Wang, Lawrence K, Pereira, Norman L & A ; Hung, Yung TSE.
