Glass tank NOx emission control with gas reburn. Executive summary, May-November 1993. Phase 1 feasibility study
A study has been conducted to determine the feasibility of applying gas reburn to glass tanks for NOx emissions control. Three model furnaces representing the main furnace types were evaluated: a 250 ton per day end port container glass furnace, a 500 ton per day side port flat glass furnace, and a 125 ton per day recuperative fiber glass furnace. The evaluation consisted of conceptual reburn system designs, a thermal analysis, an estimate of NOx removal achievable, and an economic analysis. It was found that NOx reductions on the order of 80 percent may be expected for the regenerative glass furnaces, and 65 percent for the recuperated furnace. The cost of control is estimated to be 25 to 33 percent of the cost of oxy-fuel. Potential complications are an estimated increase on the order of 200 deg F in gas temperatures throughout the regenerator and a decrease in fuel efficiency of up to 10 to 12.4 percent.
