Cement Plant in Ireland. Approximate location 53.43236, -7.14398.
Cement PlantIrelandCO₂ reported
Kinnegad Cement Plant is a cement plant in Ireland 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 Breedon Group PLC. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 cement plants tracked in Ireland. It emits about 293,265 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 68,360 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897157.
عند 700,000 t of cement، يكون Kinnegad Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في Ireland (1,400,000 t of cement). 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.
