Sc Carmeuse Holding Srl

Sc Carmeuse Holding Srl is a lime plant in Romania with a reported capacity of 459,546 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 lime plants tracked in Romania. It emits about 150,496 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 35,081 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 50% below the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467721.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 459,546 t of lime, Sc Carmeuse Holding Srl è attorno a la mediana di lime plant in Romania (511,978 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.
