Co2 Reduction From Glass Melting Furnaces By Oxy-Fuel Firing Combined With Batch/Cullet Preheating

About 30% fuel savings and 20% reduction in CO2 emissions have been demonstrated in an oxy-fuel fired container glass furnace combined with batch/cullet preheating, as compared with a state-of-the art regeneartive furnace. An advanced oxy-fuel fired glass melting furnace with a new batch/cullet preheater is projected to reduce the specific fuel consumption further to 2.65 GJ/mton and specific CO2 emissions to 237 Kg/ton.
