Hybrid Melting: Optimize Energy Consumption in Glass Furnaces
Hybrid melting is an innovative way to optimize melting inside industrial furnaces specific to the glass industry. Hybrid melting combines two methods of heating: injecting electricity directly into molten glass and natural gas combustion to facilitate the melting process. This allows furnace operations to use the most cost-effective energy sources at a given time, compared to either 100% natural gas or all-electric melting…
