Abstract
A process for transitioning molten glass in a glass furnace from one color to another color while minimizing the production of out-of-color specification transition glass. During the transition, a compensating agent is introduced into the molten glass to adjust the color of the molten glass being discharged from the furnace so that the discharged molten glass meets a target color specification, which effectively results in acceleration of the furnace color change compared to other conventional methods.
