Calmit Hungária Kft.

Calmit Hungária Kft. is a lime plant in Hungary with a reported capacity of 173,027 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 lime plants tracked in Hungary. It emits about 100,563 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 23,441 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% below the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467591.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 173,027 t of lime ist Calmit Hungária Kft. etwa um dem Medianwert von lime plant in Hungary (185,399 t of lime). Untersektor: lime. Als lime plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 600–900°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Kalkwerke kalzinieren Kalkstein in heißen Öfen bei 800–900°C, und der heiße Branntkalk muss in gedämmten Behältern gehandhabt werden, um Reaktion mit Feuchte zu verhindern.
