Reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions by improving the oxy-combustion process.
Glass manufacturers are increasingly seeking to improve energy and cost-efficiency and furnace profitability while reducing pollutants. Air Liquide’s heat-oxycombustion technology improves the glass production process by reusing heat that would otherwise be wasted. An EU-funded study at a Bulgarian glass factory demonstrated that heat-oxycombustion reduced emissions of CO2 by 19% and of nitrogen oxides by 90%.
