Melter Advanced Control
The furnace is a key part of the glass production as it consumes most of the energy and is the main originator of the emissions, and therefore autonomous control can help a lot.
ES III™ can be used with any type of furnace, mainly:
- Regenerative end-port furnace
- Regenerative side-port furnace
- Recuperative furnace
- All oxy fuel furnaces
- Electric melter
Specific Benefits:
- Temperature profile optimization
- Melter dynamics and temperature stability
- Fuel consumption optimization
- Better glass and product quality
- Optimization of fuel and temperature profiles
- Melter dynamics and temperatures stability
- Effective energy consumption leads to fuel savings
- Glass quality stability
- Temperature profile optimization
- Melter dynamics and temperatures stability
- Fuel consumption optimization
- Temperature profile optimization
- Melter dynamics and temperature stability
- Fuel consumption optimization
Since the use of the ES III™, the energy consumption was reduced by more than 250 kWh/t of molten glass - the lowest energy consumption since the startup, even with a significant cullet reduction.
In addition, positive effects of waste gas, corrosion of furnace, e-holder repairs have been observed, and ES III™ can easily handle 5 job changes per day.
Example:
Glass temperature stabilization can be used to save energy by reduction of production temperature setpoint.
Operate furnace at lower temperature, but keep above critical limit to prevent glass defects.
