Oxy-Gas Combustion: The Future of Sustainable Glass Manufacturing at Vitrium 2025

At Vitrum Milano 2025, our Sales Manager, Andrea Bassi, presented a breakthrough solution for the container glass industry: the Oxy-Gas Combustion System for distributors and forehearths

As the industry faces a critical climate emergency, Glass Service is leading the transition toward a circular and climate-neutral economy. The Oxy-Gas system represents a radical shift from traditional air-gas methods, eliminating energy waste by replacing air with pure oxygen.
Key takeaways from the conference:

  • Efficiency: Up to 60% reduction in gas consumption and CO2 emissions.
  • Environmental Impact: NOx emissions reduced by up to 80%.
  • Economic Viability: A real-world case study on a 3-zone forehearth showed a payback period of just 15 months.
  • Innovation: New burners designed with CFD modeling and “oxy-cleaning” technology to ensure long-term reliability.
