Lime Plant in France. Approximate location 48.15, -0.38.

Lime PlantFranceCO₂ reported

Lhoist France Ouest is a lime plant in France with a reported capacity of 526,987 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #5 of 12 lime plants tracked in France. It emits about 282,882 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 65,940 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median lime plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 526,987 t of lime Lhoist France Ouest — це приблизно медіана lime plant у France (499,678 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.
