Cement Plant in Chile. Approximate location -34.86629, -71.14043.
Cement PlantChileCO₂ reported
Curico Cement Plant is a cement plant in Chile with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Bio Bio SA. By capacity it ranks #4 of 5 cement plants tracked in Chile. It emits about 122,511 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 28,557 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895367.
عند 500,000 t of cement، يكون Curico Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في Chile (750,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 6% 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.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
