Cement Plant in Switzerland. Approximate location 46.65529, 6.5456.
Cement PlantSwitzerlandCO₂ reported
Eclepens Cement Plant is a cement plant in Switzerland with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim (Schweiz) AG. By capacity it ranks #5 of 6 cement plants tracked in Switzerland. It emits about 287,105 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,924 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895359.
عند 700,000 t of cement، يكون Eclepens Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Switzerland (800,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 33% 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.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
