Cement PlantLatviaCO₂ reported

Broceni Cement Plant is a cement plant in Latvia with a reported capacity of 1,600,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by SCHWENK Latvija SIA. It emits about 213,756 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 49,827 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 63% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,600,000 t of cement، يكون Broceni Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Latvia (1,600,000 t of cement). 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.
