CSN Cimentos Arcos Plant

Cement Plant in Brazil. Approximate location -20.31226, -45.58371.

Cement PlantBrazilCO₂ reported

CSN Cimentos Arcos Plant is a cement plant in Brazil with a reported capacity of 2,400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CSN Cimentos Brasil SA. By capacity it ranks #11 of 57 cement plants tracked in Brazil. It emits about 1,139,780 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 265,683 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 2,400,000 t of cement، يكون CSN Cimentos Arcos Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Brazil (1,461,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 46% أعلى 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.
