Lime PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 51,155 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #109 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 63,039 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 14,694 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 87% above the median lime plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 51,155 t of lime, Lhoist North America - Natividad Plant est en dessous de la médiane des lime plant en United States (178,599 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.
