  "text": "BAT is to reduce the specific energy consumption by using one or a combination of the following techniques:\nTechnique\nApplicability\n(i)\nProcess optimisation, through the control of the operating parameters\nThe techniques are generally applicable\n(ii)\nRegular maintenance of the melting furnace\n(iii)\nOptimisation of the furnace design and the selection of the melting technique\nApplicable for new plants.\nFor existing plants, the implementation requires a complete rebuild of the furnace\n(iv)\nApplication of combustion control techniques\nApplicable to fuel/air and oxy-fuel fired furnaces\n(v)\nUse of increasing levels of cullet, where available and economically and technically viable\nNot applicable to the continuous filament glass fibre, high temperature insulation wool and frits sectors\n(vi)\nUse of a waste heat boiler for energy recovery, where technically and economically viable\nApplicable to fuel/air and oxy-fuel fired furnaces.\nThe applicability and economic viability of the technique is dictated by the overall efficiency that may be obtained, including the effective use of the steam generated\n(vii)\nUse of batch and cullet preheating, where technically and economically viable\nApplicable to fuel/air and oxy-fuel fired furnaces.\nThe applicability is normally restricted to batch compositions with more than 50 % cullet",
