Cement Plant in El Salvador. Approximate location 14.32033, -89.53254.

Cement PlantEl SalvadorCO₂ reported

Maya Cement Plant is a cement plant in El Salvador with a reported capacity of 1,900,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim El Salvador SA de CV. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in El Salvador. It emits about 614,387 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 143,214 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,900,000 t of cement، يكون Maya Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في El Salvador (1,900,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 17% 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.
