EcoLime is a novel, patented, electrochemical process for lime production.
Working at ambient temperatures and powered by electricity, EcoLime eliminates up to 100% of CO2 emissions, as well as all combustion-related air pollutants (NOx, SOx, and particulate matter) associated with traditional lime production. EcoLime unlocks a sustainable production method for one of the world’s most important and ubiquitous materials.
High Quality Lime
EcoLime’s hydrated lime boasts a very high percentage of reactive material. Tested and validated in water treatment, construction materials and other industries, EcoLime is free of residues, unreactive burned lime, and has very low amounts of metal contaminants. EcoLime’s whiteness index is extremely high, and the material is ready to be used in the most exacting applications and industries.
Zero Pollutants, Low Carbon Footprint
In comparison to current production methods, EcoLime’s reduced emissions and pollutants, as well as its independence from fossil fuel combustion, greatly simplify permitting and interfaces with environmental protection agencies and other regulatory bodies. EcoLime thereby allows producers and consumers to proactively meet developing regulations and changing environmental and market demands.
Low-Carbon Feedstocks and Material Versatility
EcoLime enables the production of lime from nearly any calcium-bearing material, from low-grade limestone with elevated magnesium content and all the way to industrial waste such as steel slag and construction and demolition waste.
The high quality of EcoLime’s end product is unaffected by the quality of the feedstock, consistently delivering highly pure hydrated lime, while enhancing circularity and resource efficiency, as well as significantly reducing emissions when using low-carbon feedstocks.
Start-Stop Capability, On-Demand Operations
Unlike traditional lime production methods, thanks to ambient operational temperatures EcoLime systems can work intermittently and take maximum advantage of fluctuating power prices. This start-stop capability makes EcoLime fully compatible with intermittent renewable energy, enabling full electrification of industrial processes reliant on lime production.
Tailored to Scale
EcoLime can work at different scales, including single digit tonnages per day. Coupled with its feedstock flexibility, this can unlock internal waste recycling and on-demand production of lime in facilities which are too small in either size or scale for their own dedicated lime kiln. Shortening supply chains, improving circularity, and simplifying waste disposal, EcoLime can drastically improve margins and lower feedstock prices and operational costs.
