Short Courses
Combustion
8:30 - 12:30 AM
Instructor: John Connors, Chief Technology Engineer, Batch & Furnace, PPG Fiber Glass
The course will start with why combustion is critical to glass making and the objectives of good combustion. The following topics will be covered: combustion fundamentals, furnace optimization, emissions, modeling, and measurements. New technologies will be reviewed. There will be an emphasis on the differences between air-fuel and oxy-fuel combustion in glass.
Fee: $150.00
Fundamentals of Batch and Furnace Operation
1:00 – 5:00 PM
Instructor: Phil Ross, Glass Industry Consulting
The course is an introduction to the principles of commercial glass production employed in Batch & Furnace operations in U.S. Glass producers. Suggested attendees could be vendors or newer individuals to glass manufacturing seeking an introduction to the issues faced in glass production. The bulk of the presentation material has been extracted from a four day class offered at American Glass Research.
Fee: $150.00
