Carmeuse Lime, Inc. Buffington

Carmeuse Lime, Inc. Buffington is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 569,083 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #9 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 702,363 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 163,721 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 87% above the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467369.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

569,083 t of lime'de, Carmeuse Lime, Inc. Buffington United States'daki lime plant'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 178,599 t of lime'dir. Alt sektör: lime. lime plant olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 600–900°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Kireç fabrikaları, 800–900°C'de sıcak ocaklarda kireci kalsinize eder ve sıcak quicklime, nemi ile reaksiyon önlemek için izole edilmiş kaplarda taşınmalıdır.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
