Lime Plant in France. Approximate location 48.15, -0.38.

Lime PlantFranceCO₂ reported

Lhoist France Ouest is a lime plant in France with a reported capacity of 526,987 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #5 of 12 lime plants tracked in France. It emits about 282,882 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 65,940 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median lime plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 526,987 t of lime, Lhoist France Ouest jest około medianę lime plant w France (499,678 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.
