☁️Application of the Month – November: Gas Monitoring in Glass Manufacturing☁️
Glass production involves the mixing of silica and other oxides, followed by heating, forming, and cooling, all under well-controlled conditions. By nature, the production process is associated with high temperatures and high dust levels.
From a gas monitoring perspective, a glass manufacturing industry is similar to many other heat production facilities such as power plants. It is typically of interest to measure the concentrations of the “traditional” CEM gases such as NO, NO2, SO2, CO2 and O2, together with pressure, temperature, and sometimes dust and flow. NH3 can be measured to control urea injection and monitor SCR efficiency. There can also be needs for measurement of concentrations of “exotic” types of gases such as HF.
Several types of OPSIS CEM systems are suitable for use within the glass manufacturing industry. Learn more on our application page https://www.opsis.se/en/applications/emissions-monitoring-process-control/glass-manufacturing-industries/
