[#Glasstec2024] [#SEFPROGUARD®TankMonitoringSolution] 📊 At glasstec – International Trade Fair, digitalization will be in the spotlight as key solutions for the furnace of tomorrow. SEFPRO GUARD® Tank monitoring is a new digital and data-driven solution developed by SEFPRO to track temperatures & corrosion profile of tank refractory blocks. The ongoing furnace technology transition towards decarbonization will affect the usual refractory corrosion behavior and may lead to unexpected corrosion behavior, both in terms of kinetics and pattern. 👉 To address this issue, SEFPRO GUARD® Tank monitoring offers an innovative, automated and quantified visualization solution via the SEFPRO GUARD® Digital Portal. For glassmakers, apprehending the change of refractory corrosion profiles and rates will be paramount to: ✔️ Plan and adjust overcoating operations to prevent glass leaks, ✔️ Generate data for furnace design improvement, ✔️ Contribute to a better management of furnace consumption, ✔️ Optimize furnace lifespan. By shedding light on the refractories behavior in new furnace technologies such as high-boost or hybrid, this new solution supports glassmakers on their journey towards decarbonization. 🎬 Learn more in this video 👇 #Glasstec #GlassSolutions #SEFPRO #GlassIndustry #GlassManufacturing #GlassFurnaces #Glassmaking #Decarbonization #CarbonNeutrality #FurnaceEfficiency #Refractories #GlassInnovation

[#Glasstec2024] [#SEFPROGUARD®RegeneratorMonitoringSolution] 📊 At glasstec – International Trade Fair, digitalization will be in the spotlight as key solutions for the furnace of tomorrow. SEFPRO GUARD® Regenerator Monitoring is a new digital and data-driven solution developed by SEFPRO to track checkerpack clogging evolution. The clogging of channels caused by condensation and solidification of certain fumes compounds can affect furnace performance in a vicious circle. Indeed, plugging reduces regenerator efficiency, which impacts fuel consumption. Then, to maintain the same power output, more fuel must be used, increasing the volume of fumes, hence accelerating corrosion and the plugging mechanism. 👉 To address this issue, SEFPRO GUARD® Regenerator Monitoring offers an innovative, reliable, automated and quantified visualization solution via the SEFPRO Guard Digital Portal. For glassmakers, this solution allows to: ✔️ Continuously monitor checkerpacks, ✔️ Assess regenerator clogging levels in real-time, ✔️ Initiate preventive checkerpack cleaning operations. ✔️ Extend the lifetime of regenerators. By preventing the negative impact of checkerpack clogging on fuel overconsumption, this new solution supports glassmakers on their journey towards decarbonization. 🎬 Learn more in this video 👇 #Glasstec #GlassSolutions #SEFPRO #GlassIndustry #GlassManufacturing #GlassFurnaces #Glassmaking #Decarbonization #CarbonNeutrality #FurnaceEfficiency #Refractories #GlassInnovation

[#Glasstec2024][#XeBOOST] 🔎 glasstec – International Trade Fair is the place to explore the latest innovations shaping the glass furnace of tomorrow. At SEFPRO, we are supporting glassmakers to make significant strides in reducing their carbon footprint. The reduction of CO2 emissions in a short term, has prompted a renewed interest in pursuing higher electrification rates as a substitute to fossil energy. We invite you to discover our latest refractory solution for highly boosted or hybrid furnaces: XeBOOST™. This resistive #AZS material is designed for key areas such as bottom or sidewall electrode blocks. This offers a unique combination of high corrosion resistance and high electrical resistivity, thanks to its specifically tuned composition. ⚡ Highly electrified furnaces, is a game-changer in reducing energy consumption for a positive environmental impact. 👇 Want to learn more?

[#WorldCleanUpDay] 🌍 World Clean-Up Day is a global initiative that unites citizens to take action against waste pollution. At SEFPRO, our collaborators across various sites have been actively participating in this movement every year by organizing waste collection efforts. Several tons of waste -plastics, metals, wood, and more- have been collected and recycled. 🌱 Let’s continue this Clean-Up Day action every day, this unique initiative aims to raise awareness of environmental protection. #worldcleanupday2024 #SEFPRO #GlassIndustry #Refractories #GlassManufacturing #GlassFurnaces #Glassmaking #SEPRLePontet #SaintGobainTMKK

[#Recap] [#GPC2024] 📅 SEFPRO was pleased to participate in the 85th Glass Problems Conference in Toledo, Ohio, USA. Many of you attended the presentation done by Andrea Kazmierczak, SEFPRO R&D Project Leader, about "Improved Refractories with Excellent Glass Properties and Low Carbon Footprint". This was a great opportunity to showcase our #WOOL refractories, specifically developed for use in insulation fiberglass melting. The session explored the method of designing grain and matrix microstructures, along with corrosion resistance, thermomechanical, and electrical performance data. The redesigned WOOL range marks a key advancement in both performance and decarbonization for the insulation fiberglass market. 👉 Thanks to all attendees, and if you are interested in learning more, explore here: https://lnkd.in/eDQDNs_p ✍ Authors: Andrea Kazmierczak, Anne Fulminet, Damien Boloré, Darren Rogers, and Olivier CITTI #GPC #Tradeshow #SEFPRO #GlassIndustry #Refractories #GlassManufacturing #GlassFurnaces #Glassmaking
