空气产品（NYSE：APD）今天宣布，其全资子公司Brasil Air Products Brasil已建造，放置在溪流上，并经营着一个空气分离厂，该工厂为Guardian Industries的New Float Glass Manufacties在Tatui提供氮和氧气，巴西保罗。巴西航空产品还通过现场植物提供氢气，以及Guardian的新浮点玻璃生产线的清洁火力HRI燃烧器系统。
"We were able to demonstrate that significant operational benefits, specifically fuel savings, can be achieved with the grouped offering we presented to Guardian. The combination of our technologies and reliable supply of essential industrial gases can provide Guardian with the most efficient way, both operationally and environmentally, to produce float glass from its new production line. These technologies can continue to provide benefits in the future, as higher fuel and energy costs are anticipated," said Bob Lewis, global marketing manager for Generated Gases at Air Products. Lewis added that the Guardian relationship continues to grow Air Products' presence and investment in meeting industrial gas needs in Brazil.
空气产品巴西建造空气分离单元，以生产氮和氧气是监护人Tatui的捆绑产品的一部分。巴西空气产品还在运营现场蒸汽甲烷改革仪（SMR），以生产监护人的设施。Air Products的现场氢产品在2008年通过采购Harvest Energy技术及其新颖且获得专利的SMR技术增强了产品。此外，空气产品的Cleanfire Hriburner先进的Oxy-Fuel Boost应用程序已集成到Guardian的新玻璃生产工厂中。
Float glass is produced by floating a continuous stream of molten glass onto a bath of molten tin. The molten glass spreads onto the surface of the metal and produces a high quality, consistently level sheet of glass that is later heat polished. The glass has no wave or distortion and is now the standard method for glass production. In fact, over 90% of the world production of flat glass is float glass. Float glass can be cut and fitted directly to frames or custom tabletops for making modern windows, or used as raw material in processes such as glass tempering, lamination, and manufacture of mirrors and solar panels.
当正确引入时，用于在制造过程中用来取代燃烧空气的工业级氧可以显着改善传热到玻璃批处理和玻璃浴中。Cleanfire HRI燃烧器的高级Oxy-Fuel Boost应用程序为玻璃生产提供了一些独特的好处。“这项技术可提供更高的效率融化，以减少生产每吨玻璃的消耗的燃料量。它还通过提供融合氧气分期技术的平坦火焰几何形状来减少污染物的排放量，”全球玻璃市场市场市场凯文·利弗雷（Kevin Lievre）说。空气产品的经理。“使用此CleanFire应用程序的客户可以期望提高玻璃质量，提高生产并减少NOX，Sox，Co的排放2, and particulate matter."
目前，全球Glassmakers安装了250多个Cleanfire HRI燃烧器，在全球Glass Making Operations在Glass Making Operations中，清洁燃烧器家族中有1,500多家燃烧器家族。
