Rheinkalk Gmbh

Rheinkalk Gmbh is a lime plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 1,424,554 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #3 of 8 lime plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 772,638 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 180,102 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467586.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

1,424,554 t of limeで、Rheinkalk GmbhはGermanyのlime plantの中央値はるかに上 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。
