	E-Glass Plant for Shangahi-Grace Shanghai, China

E-glass Project for China
TECO designed and project managed the batch plant, recuperative furnace and forehearth segments of a new fiberglass plant. The batch plant was constructed of structural steel support frame and fabricated steel silos with blanket insulation and aluminum protective jacket. The furnace was well insulated. The doghouse was sealed. The combustion system consisted of a two stage recuperator along with three (3) zones of temperature control. The plant was commissioned in August, 2004 with no start-up problems. Production started about three (3) hours after glass pull through the bushings.

In 2005 TECO completed the installation and start-up of a float glass plant for Cardinal Float Glass in Durant, OK. See photo above. Another new plant, similar to the Durant plant, was installed in Winlock, Washington and was started up in late 2006. Both plants were designed, installed and commissioned on schedule and within budget. TECO was the engineer and project manager for both of these projects.

As part of a plant expansion, Philips-Salina, KS installed a TECO Oxy-gas melter and forehearth system. The melter had a sealed doghouse, was well insulated and utilized wide flame-high luminosity burners. ZEDTEC Rapid Cool type forehearths were used to feed four Vello lines. The batch plant was modernized and expanded in capacity, which necessitated replacing the mixer with a larger capacity unit. The project was done on a fast-track program and took 10 months from contract signing to producing good glass. SEPR's efforts to produce the fused cast refractories within a short period of time was key in achieving this aggressive schedule.
