TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERRED

(1) Technology of Rectangular High Draft Zig-Zag Brick Kiln

CSIR-CBRI has developed low pollution technology for brick manufacturing. Recently in Feb. 2022, the technology has been recommended by CPCB, Delhi for implementation in all states of India by Dec. 2023. The maximum stack emission of SPM from this technology is 250 mg/Nm³ as compared to 750 mg/Nm³ in FCBTK technology and coal consumption is reduced 25 %.

Design of pollution free high draft brick kiln with zig-zag setting of bricks has been transferred to three private entrepreneurs (Aug. 2017-August 2022) for commercialization in field:
