Lime PlantItalyCO₂ reported
Casertana Lime Industry Ltd is a lime plant in Italy with a reported capacity of 192,058 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #14 of 24 lime plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 179,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 41,735 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% above the median lime plant.

Przy 192,058 t of lime, Casertana Lime Industry Ltd jest około medianę lime plant w Italy (192,058 t of lime). Podsektor: lime. Jako lime plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 600–900°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Huty wapienne kalcynują wapień w gorących piecach w temperaturze 800–900°C, a gorący wapień żywy musi być obsługiwany w izolowanych zbiornikach, aby uniknąć reaktywności z wilgocią.

A lime plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: kiln, preheater, hot-gas ducting, valves & dampers (surface/process temperatures around 200–900 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
calcination-heavy like cement; fuel side only.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 6,800 MWh/yr (≈ 2,300 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.
See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →
Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Funding. MIMIT plan (~EUR 12.7B): tax credits for efficiency/decarbonization investments (requires a certified energy diagnosis to access).
Obligation. Mandatory energy diagnosis every 4 yrs for large enterprises (>250 staff or >EUR 50M) and energy-intensive companies (>10 TJ/yr from 2026); ENEA penalties up to EUR 40,000. (applies as a rule above the stated threshold — we don't hold this site's metered energy use).
