Pete Lien & Sons, Inc.

Pete Lien & Sons, Inc. is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 200,559 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #40 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 247,786 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 57,759 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 88% above the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38468908.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 200,559 t of lime, Pete Lien & Sons, Inc. está alrededor de la mediana de lime plant en United States (178,599 t of lime). Subsector: lime. Como lime plant, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 600–900°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas de cal calcinan piedra caliza en hornos calientes a 800–900°C, y la cal viva caliente debe manejarse en recipientes aislados para prevenir reacción con la humedad.
