Production facilities in glass industry are capital intensive and require long investment cycles, while market and energy price have become volatile. Depending on market, glass producers are now facing complex choices in energy sources: using current fossil fuel as natural gas, oxy-gas, hydrogen and completing it by electrical boosting before going to full electric furnaces.
A side effect of reducing GHG emissions by electrical boosting, is the higher corrosion rate of material in contact with glass, especially in melting bath areas. Exposed to these trends, all glass industry (container, flat, specialty, insulation, reinforcement, and display) is adapting its industrial strategy to use their current furnaces in the best way and is considering which furnace technology will be used for the next two decades.
This is why SEFPRO CARE has developed and propose complete repair solutions to perform hot & cold repairs for any glass market, providing flexibility, reliability in management of industrial asset as are glass furnaces.
The purpose of this article is to give an overview of possibilities offered for hot and cold repairs, using shaped or unshaped products, which are illustrated with two feedbacks from repair work done on regenerator chamber and container glass furnace.
