AMETEK Land to present Nox production at higher levels at international commission on glass annual meeting
The presentation, entitled “Thermal Imaging NOx Filter Helps Optimize Combustion for Emissions Reduction,” will reveal specific new findings relating to NOx production at higher levels in glass furnaces. It will report on the findings of AMETEK Land and Simpson Combustion and Energy research that was carried out into apparent flame temperatures and corresponding NOx levels within the glass melt process.
The presentation offers a useful insight into how areas of peak flame intensity were analysed to identify which firing side has higher NOx and which port/burner has the most impact. It additionally reports on an industry case study in which the research results were applied successfully to optimise combustion for a stack emission test.
“ICG Annual Meeting is an important glass industry conference, and this will be the first time we present our technology in Japan. We look forward to showing how our thermal imaging systems can now be used not only for monitoring purposes, but also to help optimise combustion efficiency and reduce emissions,” explains Mark Bennett.
The research was conducted using AMETEK Land’s innovative Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) Glass thermal imaging system that allows long-term data trending for fuel optimisation, enabling thermal optical profiles to be measured continuously during furnace reversal. Glass manufacturers can use this infrared temperature measurement solution to highlight issues within a glass melt tank, make repairs, and then optimise firing to achieve record pull rates.
Alongside the NIR-B Glass, the research study used an AMETEK Land Lancom gas analyser at the port target wall and common flue positions to take gas measurements and check emissions. Those results were analysed simultaneously with in-furnace thermal images generated by the NIR-B. The study established that by identifying and controlling high-temperature levels, emissions could be reduced in a glass production facility.
