Oxy-Gas Combustion Revolution: Decarbonization in Glass Forehearths | Vitrum Milano 2025

In this keynote recorded at Vitrum Milano 2025, Andrea Bassi, Sales Manager at Glass Service, presents the innovative Oxy-Gas Combustion System specifically designed for glass distributors and forehearths. As the container glass industry moves toward a circular and climate-neutral economy, traditional air-gas combustion is becoming obsolete due to energy waste and high emissions. The Oxy-Gas technology replaces air with pure oxygen, eliminating the energy required to heat nitrogen and significantly boosting thermal efficiency. Key Highlights of the Presentation: Sustainability & Emissions: Achieve up to 60% reduction in gas consumption and CO2 emissions, and up to 80% reduction in NOx. Enhanced Glass Quality: Improved process stability and thermal homogeneity for superior glass production. Advanced Engineering: A look at the new burner designs developed through CFD modeling, featuring "oxy-cleaning" technology to prevent carbon deposits. Economic Impact: A detailed case study of a 3-zone forehearth (K36) showing an estimated payback period of only 15 months, factoring in gas savings and ETS (Emission Trading System) cost reductions. About Glass Service: Glass Service is proud to lead the decarbonization process in the glass industry with forward-thinking solutions and innovative products.
