Conference attendees who visit Air Products' suite at the Hilton
Downtown Columbus, Bellows F, will learn about the latest
innovations in company's line of Cleanfire oxy-fuel burner
technologies, which can help glass manufacturers increase
glass production, reduce fuel consumption, improve glass quality
and reduce emissions. On behalf of each visitor to the company's
suite, the Air Products Foundation will donate $100 (up to a total of $15,000) to the Ceramic & Glass Industry
Foundation (CGIF). This is the third consecutive year Air Products
