COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY AND EMISSIONS – INTRODUCTORY TRAINING
Optimizing energy use and reducing emissions in glass production.
The use of fossil fuels in glass furnaces significantly impacts energy consumption and emissions. This course covers the combustion mechanisms and burner types that influence heat transfer and the production of harmful emissions like NOx. Strategies to reduce emissions will be explored using both primary (process-integrated) and secondary (end-of-pipe) techniques. A new section will focus on decarbonization, covering the role of biogas, biofuels, and hydrogen combustion.
Attend if you are interested in:
- Combustion mechanism
- Emissions sources and legislation
- Glass furnace energy balance
- Radiation and heat transfer
- NOx formation
- Burner types
- Staged combustion
- Carry-over and evaporation
- Impact of combustion on redox
- Combustion monitoring & control
- Abatement technologies
- Introduction to decarbonization
- Biogas and Bio fuels
- Hydrogen combustion
What you take away:
- Recognize the mutual connection between batch components and the combustion atmosphere on the one hand, and glass quality and furnace lifetime on the other
- Know how to calculate industrially reasonable emission limits for various glass and furnace types
- Gain familiarity with emissions-reducing measures
- Identify the sources of emissions and develop mitigation strategies
