Ab "Akmenės Cementas"

Ab "Akmenės Cementas" is a lime plant in Lithuania with a reported capacity of 1,477,390 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. It emits about 972,810 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 226,762 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467598.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 1,477,390 t of lime, Ab "Akmenės Cementas" é em torno de a mediana de lime plant em Lithuania (1,477,390 t of lime). Subsetor: lime. Como lime plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 600–900°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As plantas de cal calcinam calcário em fornos quentes a 800–900°C, e a cal viva quente deve ser manuseada em vasos isolados para evitar reação com a umidade.
