Forglass Oxy-Fuel Melter
High-volume production with quality and performance
Low: energy consumption and emissions
Oxy-fuel furnaces are an alternative to regenerative furnaces. The primary reasons are economic – that solution prevents from using relatively expensive regenerator and increase the efficiency of the firing system comparing to the ordinary air-fuel furnace and leads to reduction of CO2 emissions. Obtaining those great savings can help to offset higher operating expenses (from oxygen supply or generation).
Conversion from regenerative cross-fired furnace into oxy-fuel furnace is also a solution that can be taken into consideration when there is a need to lower the investment cost of planned rebuild. Furnaces designed by Forglass are meeting the highest quality requirements thanks to the use of mathematical modelling studies. Different scenarios are compared and then the best fitted solution is chosen to achieve the best results. Furnace geometry, the firing system and electrical boosting configuration are being optimised to keep the specific energy consumption and emissions on the lowest level.
