Comprehensive energy efficiency audits
In a typical energy efficiency audit of your furnace(s), we answer your fundamental questions like: do I have a poor, mediocre or excellent melting energy efficiency? If the efficiency is poor or mediocre, what immediate actions can be taken to reduce energy consumption?Our recommendations are based on a detailed study of your specific situation, considering key parameters such as: furnace design, batch composition, % cullet, specific pull (changes), combustion settings, furnace age & refractory wear, glass melt characteristics and desired glass quality.
Independent and unbiased assessments
As an independent entity, we do not sell software, products or glass melting equipment. This allows us to provide completely unbiased and honest assessments of your furnace design, current furnace state, and glass melting and fining performance.As an independent entity, we do not sell software, products or glass melting equipment.
