Steel Plant in Iran. Approximate location 36.34521, 58.67441.

Steel PlantIranCO₂ reported

Khorasan Steel Complex is a steel plant in Iran with a reported capacity of 1,400,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Khorasan Steel Complex Co. By capacity it ranks #12 of 23 steel plants tracked in Iran. It emits about 1,019,630 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 237,676 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% above the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,400,000 t of steel، يكون Khorasan Steel Complex حوالي متوسط steel plant في Iran (1,400,000 t of steel). القطاع الفرعي: iron-and-steel. كـ steel plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 800–1500°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. تحرق مصانع الصلب الفحم في الأفران العالية أو تستخدم الأقواس الكهربائية لصهر الخردة؛ في كلا الحالتين يجب الاحتفاظ بالمعدن المذاب فوق 1,500°C ونقله عبر الأنابيب والحاويات الساخنة الواسعة.

مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
