The patented Primefire Forehearth burner from Eclipse, Inc. delivers significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions in glass forehearth operations. It incorporates a nozzle-mix design which eliminates the equipment costs associated with pre-mix style burners. The burner design also simplifies set-up and operation. It can fire natural gas, propane, butane or mixed fuels.
Oxygen-fuel fired burners are now accepted as a safe, reliable and efficient method for precisely controlling the energy input in glass forehearths This field proven combustion technology can reduce fuel consumption by over 60%, lower NOx emissions by over 70% and deliver a higher glass yield. The efficiencies gained are a result of the higher heat flux from the oxygen-fuel flame with a temperature of up to 4,900°F. The oxy-fuel flame improves temperature distribution and heat uniformity. Improved glass quality is also achieved due to the lower surface tension created with oxygen-fuel combustion.
