Advantages Of Oxy-Fuel Melting

As pollution penalties get more expensive, glass companies will look for alternative technologies to air-fuel combustion. One alternative, oxy-fuel, reduces furnace emissions eliminates the need for toxic heat recovery materials (chrome refractory for generators), produces no waste, cost one-sixth of post treatment technologies such as ammonia deNOx, and can save money in batch costs. The full impact of its benefits to the environment is yet to be seen.
