Oxygen sensing technology saves container glass manufacturer over 120,000 dollars

摘要

A North American container glass manufacturer, using Marathon Sensors high temperature oxygen sensors, reduced fuel consumption by 120,000 dollars in the first year. This is a twelve-fold Return On Investment on an installed cost of less than 10,000 dollars. Over the past several years, as fuel costs have increased and emissions requirements have became more stringent, industries world-wide have struggled with methods for reducing their fuel expense and emissions. Within the glass industry, several major glass manufacturers have looked to high temperature oxygen sensing technology from Marathon Sensors, Inc (MSI) to help control fuel usage and emissions in their container and float glass furnaces.
