W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 23,717 t of lime, Genesis Alkali Westvaco jest poniżej medianę lime plant w United States (178,599 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.
