Lhoist North America Apex — United States

Lime Plant in United States. Approximate location 36.3577, -114.91.

Lime PlantUnited StatesCO₂ not individually reported

Lhoist North America Apex is a lime plant in United States. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. No facility-measured CO₂ figure is available in the open dataset used here.

CO₂ not individually reported — Climate TRACE covers this sector only in aggregate

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38468934.

In context: how this facility compares

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.

Carbon emissions

No facility-measured CO₂ is published for Lhoist North America Apex; Climate TRACE provides only a lime plant sector-level estimate, so a precise per-site figure, ranking or carbon cost would be misleading and is not shown.

CO₂: Climate TRACE sector-level estimate (not facility-measured).

Local climate

Lhoist North America Apex sits in a cold desert climate zone (Köppen BWk), at 36.4°N in the northern hemisphere.

~11°Ctypical annual mean
~26°Ctypical warm-season
Cold desert: four distinct seasons — cold winters and warm summers

Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1311 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× 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.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
