文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

112,737 t of limeで、Us Lime Company-St. Clair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。

容量およびCO₂強度の比較はClimate TRACEの産業施設データから計算されました。セクターの役割は工学リファレンスに基づいています。
