kilns.
A large portion of the bricks are produced by BTKs as the number of
BTKs has crossed 55000 in the country. This kiln was introduced around
120 years back in the country and is the main kiln in northern and
eastern part of the country apart from small pockets in central, west and
south India. Various types of BTKs with following variations are found in
country:
The specific energy consumption in BTKs depends on the design,
operation practices, clay characteristics, quality of the product, fuel used,
local climatic conditions etc. The specific energy consumption varies
between 1.1 MJ per kg to 2.0 MJ per kg of fired bricks. The research
indicates that with better design and operating practices about 25%
