Lime PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Western Sugar Coop is a lime plant in United States with a reported capacity of 134,151 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #100 of 122 lime plants tracked in United States. It emits about 165,349 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,543 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 87% above the median lime plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 134,151 t of lime Western Sugar Coop — це нижче медіана lime plant у United States (178,599 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.
