Lime Plant in Norway. Approximate location 63.78435, 11.44413.

Lime PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Norfrakalk is a lime plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 54,463 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 lime plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 167,177 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,969 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 366% above the median lime plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 54,463 t of lime, Norfrakalk jest około medianę lime plant w Norway (45,005 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.
