Knauf Fiber Glass and Corning Inc. have combined resources and technology to convert a 100% electric-fired fiberglass furnace to oxy-fuel combustion. The objectives of the conversion were to extend furnace life by replacing a portion of the power with oxy-fuel combustion and to recognize a saving in operating costs. The conversion was made without any interruption in production. This paper will address the conversion to oxy-fuel and the benefits derived as a result of the conversion.
