Oxy-Fuel Technology For The Glass Industry

Oxy-fuel technology has been demonstrated to be a cost-effective method to improve glass melting oeprations with unmatched environmental performance. However, glass manufacturers with no previous oxy-fuel experience require a clear understanding of how oxy-fuel will benefit their furnaces and processes prior to conversion since their specific application may be unique or considerably different than those furnaces coverted to date. Air Liquide has developed advanced diagnostic tools which include computer modeling and laser fluid flow visualisation.
