Float Glass Manufacture Facility Design: Feasibility Study in Kuwait

This document summarizes a study on the feasibility of establishing a float glass manufacturing facility in Kuwait. The study examines two design alternatives: 1) a single production line with 500 tons per day capacity, or 2) three production lines each with 500 tons per day capacity. Float glass is an important material for construction and automobiles that is in increasing demand as Kuwait develops. The feasibility study considers factors like efficiency, utilization of resources, and how a float glass facility could help grow Kuwait's GDP and industries.

Float Glass Manufacture Facility Design: Feasibility Study in Kuwait


Authors : Farah Al-Mutairi, Hadeer Al-Jeeraan, Lima Ali, Raya Al-Dabbous, Sarah Baroun
Abstract : Lately, within the middle east, development has taken place in the construction area which increased the demand of
a crucial component, where without it; stunning views from skyscrapers cannot been experienced, and natural light would not
be able to be viewed from an indoor building. Glass has changed the path of living and building. Float glass is a type of glass
that is flat and it is the type used in the construction and automobile sector. Facility design on the other hand is a study that

improves the efficiency utilization of people, equipment, material and space. Kuwait's governmental future developing plan
bears in mind the need of increase in industries to increase the growth domestic product(GDP) of the country. This project
studies the feasibility of two designs of a float glass manufacture in Kuwait. The first Alternative, consists of one production
line of capacity 500 tons of glass per day. The second alternative, consists of three production lines, each of capacity 500 tons
of glass daily.
