Supplier of industrial, medical, scientific and hospitality gases

Our Products and Services for the Glass Industry
Combustion – we provide unmatched expertise in oxy-fuel combustion technology. We provide equipment and systems, sophisticated testing facilities and a full range of industrial gases to deliver solutions that reduce investment and increase glass quality.

Our offering includes: Services:
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) - to determine furnace output, temperature, burner placement, positioning of exhaust flues, waste gas temperatures and other parameters to increase furnace output.
Furnace design recommendations – a comprehensive package to support your critical decisions about oxy fuel furnace design and performance parameters.
Selection and installation of burners - for optimum heat transfer and temperature stability including oxy-gas and oxy-oil burners utilising oxygen, air and pressure atomising techniques.
Experienced technicians and project managers to assist in the installation and start-up of our oxy-fuel combustion systems including zero-port boost.
Oxy-fuel system audits, improvements and management.
 
Gases:
Oxygen –  bulk or on-site for combustion and boasting, liquid oxygen for float glass, and oxygen mixtures for Convective Glass Melting (CGM), technology.
