Huimin County Zhongquan Building Materials Co., Ltd. — China

Lime Plant in China. Approximate location 37.27421, 117.50829.

Lime PlantChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Huimin County Zhongquan Building Materials Co., Ltd. is a lime plant in China. Its listed capacity is 1,224 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. By capacity it ranks #94 among 94 lime plants in China. It emits about 806 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE.

In context: how this facility compares

At 1,224 t of lime, Huimin County Zhongquan Building Materials Co., Ltd. is below the median lime plant in China (220,000 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1366 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.05× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment.
