Genesis Alkali Westvaco

Genesis Alkali Westvaco is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 23,717 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #118 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 29,798 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 6,946 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 91% above the median lime plant.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

23,717 t of limeで、Genesis Alkali WestvacoはUnited Statesのlime plantの中央値以下 178,599 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。
