Applications in Glass manufacturing

Oxygen: Used to increase the combustion efficiency of fuels in furnaces, which reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It is also used in the oxidation of elements in glass making processes, which helps to maintain the quality and purity of the glass.

Hydrogen: Used for the production of flat glass, where it is used to remove impurities and reduce surface tension, which results in a smooth and uniform surface.

Nitrogen: Used for the cooling of glass products, as well as in the purging and blanketing of furnaces, to prevent oxidation and improve the efficiency of melting.

Argon: Used for the insulation of glass products, as well as for the processing of special types of glass, such as energy-efficient and low-emissivity glass.

Carbon dioxide: Used for the cooling of glass products, as well as in the packaging of glass products to extend their shelf life.

Specialty gases like Helium and Neon: Used in the glass manufacturing industry for the production of specialty glass products, such as neon signs and glass lasers.
