description:

The project introduction of Zigzag technology helped to reduce the environmental carbon footprint of brick kiln plants. The Zigzag technology— stacking the bricks in a zigzag pattern instead of straight line— converts the brick kilns by better insulating the walls and the floors. This method changes the way coal is loaded to redirect the air flow, which leads to better, more efficient fuel combustion and increases energy efficiency. The expansion of zigzag technology is appreciated by workers, owners and government alike. Thus, the key good practice for future is to expand the use of this technology in all parts of Pakistan and to identify other similar technologies with the help of research institutes.
