Lime PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Norfrakalk is a lime plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 54,463 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 lime plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 167,177 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,969 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 366% above the median lime plant.

在上下文中:该设施如何比较

在54,463 t of lime时,Norfrakalk是Norway中lime plant的中位数约 45,005 t of lime。 子部门:lime。 作为lime plant,它需要强烈的工艺热量(通常600–900°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。 石灰厂在800-900°C的热窑中煅烧石灰石,热生石灰必须在隔热容器中处理,以防止与水分反应。
