  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nDry or semi-dry scrubbing, in combination with a filtration system\nDry powder or a suspension/solution of alkaline reagent are introduced and dispersed in the waste gas stream. The material reacts with the sulphur gaseous species to form a solid which has to be removed by filtration (bag filter or electrostatic precipitator). In general, the use of a reaction tower improves the removal efficiency of the scrubbing system\nMinimisation of the sulphur content in the batch formulation and optimisation of the sulphur balance\nThe minimisation of sulphur content in the batch formulation is applied to reduce SOX emissions deriving from the decomposition of sulphur-containing raw materials (in general, sulphates) used as fining agents.\nThe effective reduction of SOX emissions depends on the retention of sulphur compounds in the glass, which may vary significantly depending on the glass type, and on the optimisation of the sulphur balance\nUse of low sulphur content fuels\nThe use of natural gas or low sulphur fuel oil is applied to reduce the amount of SOX emissions deriving from the oxidation of sulphur contained in the fuel during combustion",
