AMETEK Land to present on furnace optimisation and NOx reduction at Glass Problems Conference
AMETEK Land announces that its Glass Sector Lead Mark Bennett and Consultant Neil Simpson of Simpson Combustion and Energy will speak at the 79th Conference on Glass Problems (GPC), November 5-8, 2018, in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Mark Bennett and Neil Simpson will present “Industry 3.9 Thermal Imaging Using the Near Infrared Borescope (NIR-B) Glass” during a technical session on melting and combustion. Their presentation looks at the interpretation and management of the data captured from over 100,000 continuous temperature measurements using AMETEK Land’s NIR-B Glass infrared borescope. This data can be used as one of the steps toward achieving in the future full Industry 4.0 standards of quality, process control and autonomous operation.
Their presentation includes actual field data to demonstrate how glass producers have optimised their operations, and it shows how in practice, as in theory, that the batch really does want to go where it is colder. The speakers will discuss how a longitudinal thermal profile remains most critical in terms of pull, yield and energy, but also of importance is the transverse profile, which is critical in oxy-fuel furnace applications. With the benefit of real-time image interpretation and the integration into a control system of the NIR-B Glass it is now possible to create immediate deviation alarms with the potential to identify when a hot spot moves from the theoretical position to optimise product quality.
The use of an NIR-B Glass borescope can be an essential part of maintaining high-quality glass production and a way to extend the campaign life of a furnace. Data from the NIR-B Glass can be used to improve response times, and then to identify and troubleshoot furnace operations to improve yield and to achieve higher pull and lower specific energy. For glass producers, these can result in increased asset life and improved furnace optimisation.
Mark Bennett, Glass Sector Lead at AMETEK Land comments, “We have made some major technological advances in the last 12 months. This means the delivery of excellent furnace optimisation and emissions reduction results for glass plant operators. I look forward to presenting these latest developments and to showing how our thermal imaging can now be used not only for monitoring purposes, but also to help optimise combustion efficiency and reduce emissions.”
AMETEK Land’s NIR-B Glass is a short wavelength, radiometric, infrared borescope imaging camera that is designed to produce high-definition (656 x 494 pixel) thermal images with over 324,000 accurate temperature measurement points in the field of view. The camera measures temperatures in the range of 1000° to 1800°C (1832° to 3272°F) and is suitable for float glass, container glass, borosilicate glass and fibre glass melt furnaces.
AMETEK Land will display the NIR-B Glass at its stand at Glass Problems 2018, alongside a range of other AMETEK Land temperature measurement instruments that are specifically designed for the glass industry.

The World Health Organization estimates that over 600 million people become ill, and 420,000 die each year from eating food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxic or chemical substances. However, these numbers represent only the "tip of the iceberg," as comprehensive surveillance data on foodborne illnesses are unavailable worldwide. If food is unsafe, humans will not benefit from its nutritional value, nor will they be able to grow and develop. To explore the role of FPI`s SUPEC-7000 series...
