Lime PlantChinaCO₂ reported
Lengshuijiang City Boxin Lime Co., Ltd. is a lime plant in China with a reported capacity of 30,000 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #1325 of 1,349 lime plants tracked in China. It emits about 19,754 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 4,605 cars.

À 30,000 t of lime, Lengshuijiang City Boxin Lime Co., Ltd. est en dessous de la médiane des lime plant en China (409,811 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.

A lime plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: kiln, preheater, hot-gas ducting, valves & dampers (surface/process temperatures around 200–900 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
calcination-heavy like cement; fuel side only.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 4,000 MWh/yr (≈ 1,400 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.
See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →
Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Domestic energy-efficiency grants are limited here; industrial decarbonisation is mainly funded externally:
CBAM. Exporters of cement, steel, aluminium, fertiliser, hydrogen and electricity to the EU face the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — cutting embedded emissions (efficiency + insulation) lowers the levy.
Routed via national development banks / accredited entities — not a direct factory grant. Verified 2026.
