EXIDE CORP READING SMELTER DIV

EXIDE CORP READING SMELTER DIV is a non-ferrous metals plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #309 of 330 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in United States. It emits about 1,115 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 260 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 98% below the median non-ferrous metals plant.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在1 unitless时，EXIDE CORP READING SMELTER DIV是United States中non-ferrous metals plant的中位数约 1 unitless。 其单位容量的CO₂约为non-ferrous metals plant中位数的低于 97%。 子部门：other-metals。 作为non-ferrous metals plant，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常400–1200°C）来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量，通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%，将表面冷却至≤45°C，投资回收期通常不到2年。 有色金属厂在其熔点以上的炉和坩埚中熔化、精炼和铸造金属；来自未隔热转移和储存容器的损失是显著的。

容量和CO₂强度比较从Climate TRACE工业设施数据计算得出；部门角色基于工程参考。
