Cement Plant in Mexico. Approximate location 20.94367, -89.6631.

Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Merida Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CEMEX SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #25 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 183,214 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 42,707 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 49% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,000,000 t of cement، يكون Merida Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 32% 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.
