Defiance Casting Operations (0320010001)

Defiance Casting Operations (0320010001) is a non-ferrous metals plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #224 of 330 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in United States. It emits about 26,732 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 6,231 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% below the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673268.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist Defiance Casting Operations (0320010001) etwa um dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant in United States (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 28% unter dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant. Untersektor: other-metals. Als non-ferrous metals plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 400–1200°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. Nichteisenmetallwerke schmelzen, raffinieren und gießen Metalle in Öfen und Tiegeln über ihren Schmelzpunkten; Verluste aus ungedämmten Transfers und Lagerbehältern sind erheblich.
