文脈内で:この施設がどのように比較されるか

346,864 t of limeで、Märker Kalk GmbhはGermanyのlime plantの中央値以下 619,533 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。
