في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 401,965 t of lime، يكون Calcidrata - Indústrias De Cal, S. A. (Ci) أقل من متوسط lime plant في Portugal (702,065 t of lime). القطاع الفرعي: lime. كـ lime plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 600–900°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصانع الحجر الجيري بحرق الحجر الجيري في أفران ساخنة عند 800-900°C، ويجب التعامل مع الحجر الجيري الحي الساخن في حاويات معزولة لمنع التفاعل مع الرطوبة.
