Superstructure Refractory Selection For Oxyfuel Melting Of Lead-Alkali-Silicate Glass

St George Crystal converted from an all-electric cold top "lead crystal" glassware production process to oxyfuel melting inJune 1996. This paper describes the reasons for moving to oxyfuel combustion, and the superstructure refractory selection processes involved. A report on the current state of the furnace and refractories after 13 months of oxyfuel operation at 1500 deg C is also given.
