Ab "Akmenės Cementas"

Ab "Akmenės Cementas" is a lime plant in Lithuania with a reported capacity of 1,477,390 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. It emits about 972,810 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 226,762 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467598.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 1,477,390 t of lime, Ab "Akmenės Cementas" è attorno a la mediana di lime plant in Lithuania (1,477,390 t of lime). Sottosettore: lime. Come lime plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 600–900°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti di calce calcinano il calcare in forni caldi a 800–900°C, e la calce viva calda deve essere maneggiata in recipienti isolati per prevenire la reazione con l'umidità.
