Abstract:An important focus in the glass melting industry, which is an energy intensive industry, is towards greater output and increased energy efficiency in the glass melting process. Conversion to the oxy-fuel-fired furnace from the traditional air-fuel-fired furnace is one means to achieve greater output and energy efficiency, since the capital cost per ton of glass pulled is approximately 58% less for the oxy-fuel-fired furnace compared to the air-fuel-fired furnace. The main disadvantages of the oxy-fuel-fired fu… Show more
