Electric Boosting And Glass Melting Optimisation

Contracts are frequently won by companies having the lowest production costs, making products that meet, or preferably exceed their customers' expectations. This can only be achieved by adopting strategies that reduce costs through the effective use of capital expenditure, or create the productivity gains that are quantifiable and exceed the cost of capital. This article outlines how this may be achieved by the effective use of electric melting. This may be surprising, as electrical energy is generally more expensive than fossil fuels when compared on a cost per unit energy basis, but because of efficiency of use, it can be cost-effective. The most common use of electrical energy in the glass industry is electric boosting.
