GEA developed and installed a high-performance gas purification system for glass line production “Line I” at the San Salvo site of Pilkington Italy in 2020. In July 2024, a new order was placed for “Line II”.
GEA’s “state-of-the-art” gas cleaning system included a DeNOx reactor and the associated components for storage, transport and dosing of reagent. The new GEA gas cleaning plant reduces emissions for NOx down to 500 mg/Nm, this is an extremely significant reduction in the environmentally harmful emissions that occur during energy-intensive glass production. This way, GEA solutions make a significant contribution to meeting the customer’s environmental regulation compliance and sustainability targets.
A customized development with the future in mind
GEA assisted Pilkington with the technical and process definitions, resulting in a plant that is readily equipped for a potential further energetical upgrade with a waste heat recovery system.
