High-temperature, consistent combustion for glass melting, forming, and annealing - manufacturing float glass, containers, and specialty glassware at precision.
Glass manufacturing requires extremely high, stable temperatures - glass melting furnaces operate at 1400-1600°C, forming processes at 700-1000°C, and annealing lehrs at 500-600°C. LPG delivers the consistently high calorific flame temperatures required while offering cleaner combustion than oil-fired alternatives, which is critical for optical-quality glass.
BPCL supplies LPG to glass manufacturing plants across India for float glass production, bottle and container manufacturing, laboratory glassware, insulator manufacture, and specialty glass for electronics and solar applications.
LPG-air or LPG-oxygen burners achieve the 1600°C+ needed for efficient glass melting.
No sulphur or heavy hydrocarbons means no glass discoloration or seed defects from fuel impurities.
Accurate fuel-air ratio control creates oxidizing or reducing atmospheres for specialty glass compositions.
BPCL bulk LPG supply systems support continuous tank furnaces operating 24/7 for months between relining.
Bulk piped LPG supply is also available for high-volume consumers. Contact BPCL to discuss your requirements.
