Several solutions have been proposed in the energy audit practices, including: Optimal Operation of Equipment in feeder line by using inverters to reduce the free wheeled motor; Optimization of brick firing process by means of inverter to control the appropriate air flow into the kiln; Streamlining the process of transporting, unloading bricks between the shaping and wagon loading to save time and labor; Replacement with new wagons to reduce the heat loss after the wagon going out of the tunnel kiln. As estimated, the proposed solutions would help companies save about 15% energy consumption compared to current amount.
