Usine De Joliette

Lime Plant in Canada. Approximate location 46.0134, -73.4576.

Lime PlantCanadaCO₂ reported

Usine De Joliette is a lime plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 81,522 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #11 of 11 lime plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 45,930 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 10,706 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% below the median lime plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 81,522 t of lime, Usine De Joliette est en dessous de la médiane des lime plant en Canada (231,971 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.
