furnace at Redfearn National Glass, Barnsley. The objectives were to
ascertain methods of determining improved control strategies and to study in
detail the furnace parameters affecting fuel consumption. An initial survey of
the literature showed a lack of consensus over the best methods to adopt, but
from certain sources a basic methodology was taken. An improved methodology
was derived and this was employed to identify the characteristics of the
major loops. [Continues.]
