Cement Plant in Chile. Approximate location -33.15072, -70.83204.
Cement PlantChileCO₂ reported
Cerro Blanco Cement Plant is a cement plant in Chile with a reported capacity of 1,050,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cemento Polpaico SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 5 cement plants tracked in Chile. It emits about 273,974 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 63,863 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 28% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895361.
عند 1,050,000 t of cement، يكون Cerro Blanco Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Chile (750,000 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.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
