Improving Glass Melting Technology at Lower Production Cost

Glass is known for its incredible beauty and strength. It is commonly made up of silica sand, soda ash and limestone. All the materials are rigorously checked and processed till it turns into liquid. It sounds magical when the sand turns into a liquid and molded into specific shapes and sizes.

The melting point of glass is between 1400 degree Celsius- 1600 degree Celsius. It can only be molded at very high temperature. The process, therefore, consumes large amounts of fuel oils and fuel gases which are expensive in today's economic stage. Moreover, the burning of fuels result in combustion gas emissions that affects the global climate to a great extend.

In order to help glass manufacturing industry with better energy efficiency, CASE Group in India has come up with its coal gas technology applicable in the glass melting process. Now, manufactures can produce glasses at lower production cost. Industries can use coal gas instead of natural gas, propane, furnace oil, LPG and other expensive fuels. They can expect 50% reduction in fuel costs.

Besides cost-effectiveness, coal gasifier for glass melting ensures no pollution. The gasification equipment is fully automatic PLC controlled system; hence, easy to operate.
