  • AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE Glass Industry: THE MONUMENTS PROTECTION
    Industrial Archaeology Review, 2012
    Co-Authors: David Crossley
    Abstract:

    This article presents an overview of the archaeology of the Glass Industry in Britain from the Roman period to the 20th century. It is based upon work undertaken in 1992–3 for the English Heritage Monuments Protection Programme (MPP) and revised later in that decade, with additions to take account of the developer-funded archaeological work undertaken in recent years. It concentrates on the development of technology in the charcoal- and coal-fired Glass industries and contains descriptions of sites and terminology.

  • the archaeology of the coal fuelled Glass Industry in england
    The Archaeological Journal, 2003
    Co-Authors: David Crossley
    Abstract:

    The English Glass Industry adopted coal as a fuel at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the consequent reduction in costs enabling sales and production to increase. From a minor forest Industry, Glass manufacture became an important part of the coalfield economy, with innovative furnace structures forming striking features in the eighteenth-century urban landscape. Recent archaeological investigation has shown that Glass-works have left significant survivals on subsequently redeveloped sites, in the form of underground flues and furnace bases, and residues from processes.

  • The Wealden Glass Industry Re-visited
    Industrial Archaeology Review, 1994
    Co-Authors: David Crossley
    Abstract:

    AbstractThere has been little research into the Glass Industry of the Weald in the past thirty years. Over the period, changes in land-use have obscured furnace-sites and dispersed residues. Few new sites have been found since Kenyon's work ended in the 1960s, and additions to the documentary record have been limited to points of detail. Since 1991, all previously recorded sites have been visited and their visibility and condition assessed; finds and records from early fieldwork have been sought and the survivors inspected. An agenda for future work emphasises the potential of new laboratory examination of finds, and a new landscape approach to the relationship of furnaces to former coppice woodland.

  • electrical energy conservation and its application to a sheet Glass Industry
    IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 1996
    Co-Authors: A Z Khan
    Abstract:

    Electrical energy is the most common and widely used type of energy in the world. The subject of energy conservation is a concern for most energy users particularly Industry. Energy conservation (ECON) becomes even more important for the third world, developing countries, where the rising energy costs and the use of efficient energy apparatus are of significant concern to both the Industry and the utility. In this paper, the application of the ECON techniques by which electrical energy can be saved and made cost efficient from the industrial perspective are presented for a sheet-Glass Industry in a developing country (Pakistan-Asia). The selection, in particular, of a sheet-Glass Industry was done because electrical energy constitutes only a small amount of the overall energy used. A complete energy conservation guideline is recommended. The load profile and its overall improvement in light of these recommendations is also illustrated along with the proposed utilization of the techniques and their applications. Electrical energy management (EEM) approach for motors, PF, and tariff control is outlined and the emphasis on energy conservation technology has been elaborated. More findings of the application of energy conservation techniques of high significance are presented in the paper.

  • a novel pilot and full scale constructed wetland study for Glass Industry wastewater treatment
    Chemosphere, 2020
    Co-Authors: Amir Gholipour, Hamidreza Zahabi, Alexandros I Stefanakis
    Abstract:

    Abstract Industrial wastewaters represent a serious threat to the environment due to their variable and complex composition. Though mostly mechanical systems are used for treatment of such wastewater, there is growing need for sustainable and cost-effective solutions, especially in low-income regions. In this study, a horizontal sub-surface flow Constructed Wetland (HSFCW) system was used for the first time to treat wastewater from a Glass manufacturing Industry in Iran. In order to de-risk the treatment approach, a pilot system consisting of a settling tank and a HSFCW was first tested for 4 months. The results of the pilot study were then used to build the full-scale CW system treating 10 m³/day. In general, the tested design proved to be very effective reaching high removal rates of BOD5, COD, and TSS (90, 90, and 99, respectively), as also for TN and TP (>90%). The high efficiency of the tested system allowed for the recycle and reuse of the treated effluent in the Glass manufacturing processes, reducing this way the fresh water consumption in the Glass Industry and the related operational costs.

  • The potential of WHR/batch and cullet preheating for energy efficiency in the EU ETS Glass Industry and the related energy incentives
    Energy Efficiency, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sotirios Karellas, Dionysios Giannakopoulos, Christina-stavrula Hatzilau, Ioannis Dolianitis, Georgios Skarpetis, Theodoros Zitounis
    Abstract:

    The European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) covers approximately 45% of European greenhouse gases (GHGs), 11,000 stationary installations as well as aircraft operators. The EU ETS particularly affects the energy-intensive industries while it imposes a significant risk of “carbon leakage,” i.e., the risk of EU Industry departing to countries with weaker restraints on GHG emissions. The EU Glass Industry, being capital intensive and also requiring long investment cycles, is the world’s largest Glass producer with a market share close to one third of global production. Therefore, it is of significant importance to view the position of the EU ETS Glass Industry in terms of energy conservation possibilities. The present paper utilizes a vertical approach to provide information on both ETS market evolution and specific technical information to support technological innovation to the Glass Industry. EU ETS Glass Industry is analyzed regarding the balance between allocated European Union emission allowances (EUAs), verified CO_2 emissions, and potential shortfall in allowances so as to determine the situation of Glass industries and the extent of urge for energy-saving activities towards the strengthening of their position within the requirements of the EU ETS phase III. The replication potential of waste heat recovery (WHR) through batch preheating is specifically addressed since it is considered a promising technology according to the latest Best Available Techniques (BAT) reference document for the Glass Industry under Directive IED 2010/75/EU. A case study for a container Glass furnace based on simulation results is presented investigating the impact of different operating and design configurations on specific energy consumption and CO_2 emissions.
