Lime Plant in Norway. Approximate location 63.8383, 11.37948.

Lime PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Verdalskalk Hylla is a lime plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 24,867 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 lime plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 76,331 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 17,793 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 366% above the median lime plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 24,867 t of lime Verdalskalk Hylla — це нижче медіана lime plant у Norway (45,005 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.
