Primary responsibilities include 2 oxy - gas fired melters with 5 zones of electric boost, air - gas fired and O2 - gas fired forehearths. This included managing projects for repairs and upgrades as well as operations. Managed the furnace hot repair team. Responsible as a backup for the abatement and batch areas which included the bag house, dry scrubbers, pneumatic unloading and transfer system and batch house. I took over full responsibility for the batch and abatement areas in June 2014.Revised O2 – gas forehearth burner flow control to get higher capacities to maintain temperatures needed for production. Revised the electric boost systems to get more energy into the glass by adding cooling and revising instrumentation.Worked on the already in place 2013 Melter and forehearth rebuild. Have been making plans for upcoming 2016 rebuild.Coordinated many projects to enhance furnace life including, bubbler block holders and sidewall supports. Instrumental in applying new melter heating profiles and identifying chemistry issues which were causing melter temperature stability issues. Returned the abatement dust transfer system from a non-function system to a fully functional and reliable system. Returned two plugged silos to a fully functional status with improved capabilities to clean out blockages in the future.
