Cement Plant in Norway. Approximate location 59.08306, 9.61887.

Cement PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Brevik Cement Plant is a cement plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 1,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials Sement Norge AS. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 257,971 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 60,133 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 40% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,200,000 t of cement، يكون Brevik Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Norway (1,200,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 50% أقل من متوسط cement plant. القطاع الفرعي: cement. كـ cement plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 800–1400°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصانع الإسمنت بتسخين الحجر الجيري إلى 1,400°C في الأفران الدوارة — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية سخونة — ويجب التحكم في درجة الحرارة بدقة عبر طول الفرن كله.
