The present invention relates to a glass melting furnace comprising a channel-shaped melting tank, the batch materials being introduced at an upstream end, the molten glass being recovered at the downstream end, said furnace being heated by means of burners, in which the combustion energy is produced by oxy-fuel combustion in respect of at least 65% thereof, the burners being distributed on the walls along the length of the furnace, in which flue gas discharge is mostly localized close to the upstream end near the openings through which the batch materials are introduced, the rest of the flue gas being removed close to the downstream part so as to maintain dynamic sealing with respect to the surrounding atmosphere.

The present invention provides a control system for the conversion of carbonaceous feedstock into a gas. In particular, the control system is designed to be configurable for use in controlling one or more processes implemented in, and/or by, a gasification system for the conversion of such feedstock into a gas, which may be used for one or more downstream applications. Gasification processes controllable by different embodiments of the disclosed control system may include in various combinations, a converter, a residue conditioner, a recuperator and/or heat exchanger system, one or more gas conditioners, a gas homogenization system and one or more downstream applications. The control system operatively controls various local, regional and/or global processes related to the overall gasification process, and thereby adjusts various control parameters thereof adapted to affect these processes for a selected result. Various sensing elements and response elements are therefore distributed throughout the controlled system and used to acquire various process, reactant and/or product characteristics, compare these characteristics to suitable ranges of such characteristics conducive to achieving the desired result, and respond by implementing changes to in one or more of the ongoing processes via one or more controllable process devices.

The invention relates to a process and to an installation for preparing a final glass, comprising a main furnace with electrodes and/or overhead burners, which is fed with main batch materials generating a main molten glass, and a submerged-combustion auxiliary furnace, said auxiliary furnace being fed with auxiliary batch materials, the auxiliary molten glass feeding the main furnace toward its upstream end in the first third of its length, the auxiliary glass being substantially of the same composition as the main glass. The downstream zone of the main furnace is thus used to remove both gases coming from the main glass and gases coming from the auxiliary glass, in order to finish melting the batch stones and impurities contained in the auxiliary glass and to homogenize the two glass streams from their redox standpoint, when this is necessary.

The invention relates to a process for preparing a silicate of an element chosen from alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals or rare earths, comprising a reaction between silica and a sulfate of said element in a reactor equipped with at least one submerged burner within a molten mass, said submerged burner being fed with a gas containing oxygen, an excess of fuel/reducing agent being introduced into the reactor relative to the oxygen effectively consumed. The process allows the reaction to be carried out satisfactorily and at relatively low temperature.

摘要:
The subject of the invention is a process for melting and refining vitrifiable materials, such that all or part of the thermal energy necessary for melting the said vitrifiable materials is supplied by the combustion of fossil fuel(s) with at least one oxidizer gas, the said fuel(s)/gas or the gaseous products resulting from the combustion being injected below the level of the mass of vitrifiable materials (7). The refining of the vitrifiable materials after melting takes place at least partly in the form of a nullthin layernull. The invention also relates to the device for implementing the process and to its applications.
摘要:
A method and system for determining a mass and energy balance for a glass furnace proceeds through a furnace model and calculates a number of parameters for the flows within each segment of the furnace. The mass flow rate, enthalpy, and enthalpy flow rate of each mass flow entering a segment is found and then the enthalpy and temperature of the unreacted mixture is determined. Based on an assumption that the flows entering a segment combust completely and instantaneously, the enthalpy, enthalpy flow rate, mass flow, composition, and temperature of a reacted flow exiting the segment is determined. If the furnace implements reburning, then the mass flows for the furnace are adjusted. Also, the mass and energy for each flow can be determined if the furnace has a regenerator, a recuperator, or a reburning system. Further, the mass and energy for each flow can be determined for a wide range of furnace types.
摘要:
Paper mill sludge or similar organic sludges with a high ash content are converted by burning the sludge in a cyclone furnace along with another source of fuel. The heat content of the sludge is recovered and the ash content of the sludge is converted to a glassy slag. A flux, such as limestone, may be added to the sludge before introduction into the cyclone furnace. The slag is useful as a construction material, an abrasive, for roofing products, or for other purposes.
