The objective of the study was to revise and update previously reported estimates of the market potential of the glass batch preheater under development by GRI. The approach and methodology is essentially the same as that used in the previous analysis. The major changes between this study and earlier reports are: this report uses new estimates of preheater costs; this report uses a different set of assumptions on future projections of industrial growth rates and fuel-price trends; and this analysis uses an improved methodology to simulate the impact of electric boosting. This change is a more-realistic reflection of the way boosting is being used by the glass industry to increase production.
