Glass Service (GS) has set the 15th International Seminar on Furnace Design – Operation and Process Simulation, for 22-23 May 2019 at the beautiful and relaxing Hotel Horal mountain resort in Velke Karlovice, Czech Republic.

In conjunction with the seminar, on 21 May, the ICG Technical Committee 15 & 21 Meeting and the GS Glass Furnace Model (GFM) User Meeting will be held.

It is open to all wanting to learn more about Industry 4.0 and the optimization of their glass melting furnaces with CFD simulation.  The 2019 Seminar will focus on presentations that provide solutions to reduce the CO₂ emissions by 40% or more by the year 2030, following the Paris Climate agreement.

SEMINAR TOPICS

• The theory of glass furnace simulation
• Application of modeling - furnace construction, furnace design, forehearth simulation, glass quality
• Modeling of the combustion and electric melting - energy saving opportunity
• Use of models in furnace operation and related advanced control
