Implementación de hornos ladrilleros en Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, para reducir la huella ecológica.

Abstract

The inefficient use of fuels for the burning of bricks generates importan emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, among them carbon dioxide CO2, nitrous dioxide NO2 and Greenhouse Gases (GHG), so it is very important to quantify these emissions and establish with it a baseline of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent (CO2eq). The goal of this project is the implementation of brick kilns in the municipality of Tlajomulco of Zúñiga with the aim to reduce the ecological footprint, based on the existing ecological furnaces called MK2, having as oven innovation the placement of a second wall, which will manage to contain the generated heat, thus achieving a closed system isolated in both ovens connected to each other, to take advantage of it an optimal pre-drying of the bricks. This reseach is based on not having heat losses due to it is hermeticity, since the ecological furnaces has a double sealing wall reducing the burning time beetween 7 and 12 days.
