FURNACES • REGENERATIVE • RECUPERATIVE • FURNACE CONTROL SYSTEMS

Meausuring, Control and SUPERVISING System

Control systems focused on keyperformance factors to grant: • Minimum Energy Consumption and Operation Cost • Glass Quality • Low Polluting Emission • Furnace Life-Time • Elaboration of Trend Process The System allows effective, reliable control and recording of real time or historical data during the whole furnace campaign

Continuous monitoring and control of parameters such as: • Pilot Temperatures • Combustion • Electric Energy

The application of a SCADA acquisition system creates a multi-terminal network for a fast access to required information and grants a constant overview of: • Process • Centralized Controls • Historical • Trend • Correlation between different areas of the plant process.

Flexible application • Full supply or integration with most best-known PLC brands.

• Integration with glass plant Supervision via SCADA system (Supervisory and Data Acquisition): - Forehearths - Batch House - Forming Area - Cold-End - Whole Production Process

Access from different places and with hierarchies levels is available to ensure a proper flexibility and safety managing.

• SCADA SOFTWARE: - Historical - whole campaign memory capacity - Alarm Management (included; through mobile and e-mail) • PLC – DCS ARCHITECTURE: - MOST PREFERRED PLC OR DCS BRAND PLATFORM AVAILABLE - REDUNDANCY PLC AVAILABLE OUR COMPETENCE IN GLASS

Main Features Melting Pull • From 30 up to 650 tpd Melting Area • From 20 up to 150 m2 Application • Container, Tableware, Glass Fiber Design • End-fired, Cross-Fired, Recuperative, Oxy-Fuel Fuel • Natural Gas, Heavy-Oil, Diesel

Recuperative

Services • Glass-to-Glass Rebuilding • Construction • Cold Repair • Hot Repair • Endoscopy • Audit • Technical Support • Commissioning • Project Management • Feasibility Study • Training

Mathematical Modeling Whenever necessary the design is supported by the furnace mathematical modeling.

Mathematical modeling is an important aid to design, for instance, the best electrodes or bubblers configuration and achieve the best furnace efficiency.
