Raw material suppliers and glass manufacturers can benefit from our combined expertise in geology and glass chemistry and physics.
Comprehensive market research and supply/demand analysis
We conduct comprehensive market research and supply/demand analysis to support mineral processors and end-users within the glass industry. Our expertise includes assessing mineral suitability across diverse glass types and valuations of mineral deposits based on their specific utility for glass manufacturing.
Expertise in crystallography, mineralogy and petrography
Leveraging our extensive expertise in crystallography, mineralogy and petrography, we provide specialised analysis of minerals and rocks to optimise glass production. Our consultancy focuses on evaluating raw material usability, melting and crystallisation behaviour and the resulting impact on energy consumption and glass quality.
Projects e.g.
- Valuation of mineral deposits: determining the value of mineral deposits for specific glass productions.
- Market research: identifying supply and demand trends for minerals and rocks in the glass industry.
- Valuation and calculation of fundamental value of raw materials based on specific glass batch cost, impact on melting energy consumption and glass quality parameters.
- Quality specification development: creating detailed quality specifications for minerals used in various glass productions.
- Quality control of minerals and rocks for glass production.
- Conducting audits of quarries and processing plants.
- Innovative use of industrial by-products.
