Economic and environmental differentials incorporated biomass energy has driven the spread of supply and use of biofuels in developed and developing countries. In the state of Pará (Brazil), the growing demand for biomass like acai lump and legalized firewood, specially related to the performance of the ceramic industry in the São Miguel do Guamá county and other industrial segments, pints to a possible shortage of these energy resources. Thus, initiative is needed to search for alternative fuels that are capable of not only ensuring the energy supply necessary for the current and future ceramic production of these industries, but also to ensure the continuation and conservation of renewable natural resources in the region. This work consolidates research among member companies of the Association of Ceramics Industries of São Miguel do Guamá, which are located in this municipality, using as a sample the ceramic companies seeking alternative bioenergy, along with the research among the agro-industries and farmers present in other municipalities of the state of Pará. The objective is to identify alternatives for energy supply in ceramic kilns, considering the use of renewable energy sources and opportunities for reducing the cost of its acquisition through the practice of return shipping. It was used as a research strategy case study in five moments of semi-structured interviews guided by questionnaires. The results obtained indicate that there is opportunity to supply biomass matched with the needs of the surveyed ceramic companies, with the potential to meet repressed energy demands and allowing the continuation of strategic business in Pará, as at this time, the growing civil construction industry.

The effects of global climate change are occurring at an unprecedented pace. For this reason, human activities urgently require a paradigm shift to halt this entropic process before the consequences become irreversible. In this context, the use of highly eco-efficient materials aims to conveniently neutralize CO₂. This study aims to incorporate Kaolin waste—KDI (clayey) and KAI (sandy)—into the properties and microstructures of clay mass, assessing its mechanical strength after firing at temperatures of 750 and 950 °C. Within this framework, six formulations were tested, varying from 0% to 50% kaolin waste. The specimens were uniaxially pressed into cylindrical shapes and then subjected to firing at 750 °C and 950 °C for 2 hours at peak temperature. The raw materials underwent tests that provided a comprehensive characterization of their properties, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and laser diffraction techniques (LD). After mixing and forming the materials into test specimens with different compositions, they were uniaxially pressed in cylindrical molds and subjected to compression testing. The results demonstrated the feasibility of using these wastes, showing favorable outcomes for their incorporation into red ceramics for the production of ceramic products in compliance with current standards.

Modelo de simulação computacional para balanceamento de linhas de produção das empresas cerâmicas de São Miguel do Guamá: um estudo de caso
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-16) SILVA, Denilson Costa da; ICHIHARA, Jorge de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5726366418302065
This work is to present a computer simulation model for the purpose of solving the problem of balancing production lines of a factory belonging to the polo red ceramic potter-ceramic São Miguel of Guama. In this sense, it is initially performed a literature search on the discrete event systems, the methods of solution for line balancing and concepts involving the modeling and simulation. The methodology addresses the case study, which is conducted by the method proposed by Chwif (1999) in which covers three (03) macros stages in conducting a simulation project, whether the stage of design, implementation and analysis stage. With the computational model developed based on the current characteristics of the production line, one can describe the current state of the process, identify the problem operation as well as forward proposals for improvements from the construction of 03 scenarios. Where the third scenario presented the best results and, therefore, being the representative model of the balancing. At the end, it is understood as the main contributions of this work even bringing into the university experience of the practical application of simulation involving a ceramic industry of São Miguel of Guama and offer the industry of this region a potential tool for improving their processes productive.

Qualidades intrínsecas para inovação de produtos em piso e revestimento de cerâmica vermelha do APL de São Miguel do Guamá
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) MENDES, Adriana de Nazaré Moraes Mendes de; ICHIHARA, Jorge de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5726366418302065
This dissertation represents a contribution in solving the problem of innovation of products in the red ceramic industry in São Miguel do Guamá, state of Pará. It is a methodology, based on the strategy of QFD (Quality Function Deployment) which combines the requirements of consumers in the preparation of the product designs and production processes. The lack of knowledge of products or services to be sold is a major (and obvious) reasons for the failure of small retailers and services. In the current level of competitiveness, information is the key to business success and adapt to the market, not only to obtain and collect this information, but also to learn to interpret them and use them properly and in a creative way. The product quality is assessed both in terms of internal (technical) and the external aspect (quality required by customers). Research shows, in addition to the living reality of the industry of ceramics industries, the importance and attributes of quality defined by consumers on the red tiles. The work also shows the application of a methodology for companies in the sector through unfolding of the required quality, the quality is down planned.
