[Furnaces] Optimelt Set To Reduce Emissions At Libbey'S Oxy-Fuel Fired Furnace

This article discusses the implementation of Praxair's Optimelt system at Libbey's Leerdam plant in The Netherlands. The system was originally installed at Pavisa's container glass site in Mexico with successful results. The Optimelt thermochemical regenerator (TCR) heat recovery system provides a compelling solution to maximise heat recovery from oxy-fuel fired glass furnaces to improve energy efficiency and to minimise furnace emissions.
