Cement Plant in India. Approximate location 16.46897, 79.43545.

Cement PlantIndiaCO₂ reported

KCP Macherla Cement Plant is a cement plant in India with a reported capacity of 800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by KCP Ltd. By capacity it ranks #135 of 160 cement plants tracked in India. It emits about 334,839 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 78,051 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 800,000 t of cement، يكون KCP Macherla Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في India (2,500,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 11% 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.
