En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 4,284 t of lime, Cemex De Puerto Rico, Inc. est autour de la médiane des lime plant en Puerto Rico (4,284 t of lime). Sous-secteur: lime. Comme lime plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 600–900°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les chaufourneries calcinent le calcaire dans des fours chauds à 800–900°C, et la chaux vive chaude doit être manipulée dans des récipients isolés pour prévenir la réaction avec l'humidité.
