Mid-Ohio Valley Lime, Inc. Marietta is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 178,599 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #53 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 220,597 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 51,421 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 88% above the median lime plant.

178,599 t of lime'de, Mid-Ohio Valley Lime, Inc. Marietta United States'daki lime plant'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 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.

A lime plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: kiln, preheater, hot-gas ducting, valves & dampers (surface/process temperatures around 200–900 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
calcination-heavy like cement; fuel side only.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 7,800 MWh/yr (≈ 2,600 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Funding. Investment tax credit up to 30% of qualified investment incl. industrial decarbonization; open to small/medium/large manufacturers.
Obligation. None at federal level (voluntary). Some states have their own programs. (applies as a rule above the stated threshold — we don't hold this site's metered energy use).
