En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1 unitless, Glencore Canada Corporation - Fonderie Horne est autour de la médiane des non-ferrous metals plant en Canada (1 unitless). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 1200% au-dessus de la médiane des non-ferrous metals plant. Sous-secteur: other-metals. Comme non-ferrous metals plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 400–1200°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 usines de métaux non ferreux fondent, raffinent et coulent des métaux dans des fours et creusets au-dessus de leurs points de fusion; les pertes des transferts non isolés et des récipients de stockage sont significatives.
