Abstract: A method for producing and/or processing a nonwoven glass fabric web includes thermally drying the nonwoven glass fabric web via infrared radiation from an infrared radiation dryer. A specific power density of at least 153 kW/m2 is applied by the infrared radiation dryer to the surface of the nonwoven glass fabric web facing toward the infrared radiation dryer. After the irradiation by the infrared radiation dryer, the nonwoven glass fabric web has a temperature of at least 40° C. and at most 105° C. on its surface facing toward the infrared radiation dryer.

Abstract: A method for producing an object, wherein the method comprises drying the object or a primary product thereof, the object or a primary product thereof being at least partially dried in at least one drying device, wherein at least one of the at least one drying units contains at least one infrared radiator which is at least partially heated by means of biogas, a combustion gas selected from the group consisting of oxygen, air or other oxygen-containing gases is added to the biogas before said biogas is supplied to the at least one infrared radiator in order to heat said at least one infrared radiator, and the oxygen content in the waste gas resulting from the at least one infrared radiator being heated by means of the biogas is measured by means of a measuring device and the amount of combustion gas added to the biogas.

Abstract: An infrared radiator for the heat treatment of a material web has an incandescent body, which is flowed along a flow-receiving surface by a gas-air mixture supplied to the infrared radiator and heated by combustion of the gas-air mixture. The incandescent body has a surface with which the gas-air mixture or combustion products thereof come into contact. A ratio of the surface area of the incandescent body to the surface area of the flow-receiving surface of the incandescent body is greater than two.
