Advantages of Glassomite implementation can be mainly
divided into:
Ecofriendly,economical & qualtity benefits
1) Eco friendly benefits :
- lower CO2, NOx and SOx emissions
- elongated furnace campaign life
- landfill of granulated slag have stopped
- due to increased awareness of its benefits
2) Economical benefits :
- lower total energy per tonne of glass
- higher glass yield
- reduced emissions of harmful environmental gases
- increased furnace pull
- batch simplification
- better glass quality
3) Quality improvement :
- decreased batch stones
- reduced seeds & blisters
- color stabilization using redox concept
- reduced refractory attack
