Chaux De La Tour

Chaux De La Tour is a lime plant in France with a reported capacity of 270,969 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #11 of 12 lime plants tracked in France. It emits about 145,882 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 34,005 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median lime plant.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

270,969 t of limeで、Chaux De La TourはFranceのlime plantの中央値以下 499,678 t of limeです。 サブセクター：lime。 lime plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常600–900°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 石灰工場は800～900°Cの高温キルンでセメント石を焙焼し、高温の生石灰は、水分との反応を防ぐために断熱容器で取り扱う必要があります。
