Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

118,549 t of lime'de, Valley Minerals United States'daki lime plant'lerin medyanı altında 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.
