Description:
This project was undertaken to evaluate emissions rates from typical glass manufacturing furnaces. The effort concentrated on the container segment of the industry, however, tests were also conducted on the pressed blown, and flat glass segments of the industry. The quantitative results of the test program were compared to earlier calculated results derived in the source assessment documents for each segment of the industry. Additional data collected during this test program included particle size distributions of glass furnace emissions and trace metals analyses of glass furnace emissions. Other sources within the typical glass manufacturing plant were also evaluated to determine the types of pollutants that are generated from these sources.
