Rheinkalk Gmbh

Rheinkalk Gmbh is a lime plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 3,561,386 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #1 of 8 lime plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 1,931,595 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 450,255 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median lime plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38467584.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在3,561,386 t of lime时，Rheinkalk Gmbh是Germany中lime plant的中位数远高于 619,533 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。

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。
