Lime PlantCanadaCO₂ reported

Exshaw Plant is a lime plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 300,230 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #5 of 11 lime plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 168,836 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 39,356 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 15% below the median lime plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 300,230 t of lime Exshaw Plant — це значно вище медіана lime plant у Canada (231,971 t of lime). Підсектор: lime. Як lime plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 600–900°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Вапняні заводи прокалюють вапняк у гарячих печах при 800–900°C, і гарячий вапненець необхідно обробляти в ізольованих судинах, щоб запобігти реакції з вологою.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
