Modernization of thermal-technological equipment is one of the most effective approaches to improving energy efficiency in energy-intensive industries such as glass manufacturing. This article examines the potential for enhancing energy performance at the “Kvarts” glass plant through the modernization of existing thermal equipment. The study is based on the analysis of current operating conditions, technical state of glass melting furnaces, heat transfer systems, and control mechanisms identified during an energy audit. The results indicate that outdated equipment, insufficient automation, and limited use of modern heat recovery technologies significantly reduce overall energy efficiency. The paper proposes modernization measures including the introduction of advanced insulation materials, improved combustion control systems, waste heat recovery units, and digital monitoring solutions. The implementation of these measures is expected to reduce fuel consumption, improve thermal efficiency, and enhance the sustainability of glass production processes.
