The U.S. glass industry is comprised of four primary industry segments--flat glass, container glass, specialty glass, and fiberglass--which together consume $1.6 billion in energy annually. On average, energy costs in the U.S. glass industry account for around 14percent of total glass production costs. Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times of high energy price volatility. There is a variety of opportunities available at individual plants in the U.S. glass industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner. This Energy Guide discusses energy efficiency practices and energy-efficient technologies that can be implemented at the component, process, system, and organizational levels. A discussion of the trends, structure, and energy consumption characteristics of the U.S. glass industry is provided along with a description of the major process steps in glass manufacturing. Expected savings in energy and energy-related costs are given for many energy efficiency measures, based on case study data from real-world applications in glass production facilities and related industries worldwide. Typical measure payback periods and references to further information in the technical literature are also provided, when available. The information in this Energy Guide is intended to help energy and plant managers in the U.S. glass industry reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the quality of products manufactured. Further research on the economics of the measures--as well on as their applicability to different production practices--is needed to assess potential implementation of selected technologies at individual plants.

Energy Efficiency Improvement and Cost Saving Opportunities for the Glass Industry An ENERGY STAR ® Guide for Energy and Plant Managers

Following an operations of 5 1/2 years, the prototype of the well-known LoNO x ® Melter was shut down in the bottle glass plant at Steinbach am Wald, repaired and then put into operation again. The paper is about the operational experience gained during the time the melter was in operation as well as about the changes made during the repair and their initial consequences. During the last furnace campaign the tonnage was increased from 165 to a maximum of 220 t/d and the cullet ratio was raised to 95% at the same time. The specific energy consumption decreased to below 3600 kJ/kg and it was possible to further reduce it to 3300 kJ/kg following the repair. The proportion of booster energy, too, was reduced. The NO x levels initially achieved were mostly below the target value set by TA Luft (air pollution regulations). At present, the target value can be maintained in a stable way. This type of furnace can be considered to be a good alternative to conventional furnaces with a Denox unit
