Cement PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Midlothian Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1,890,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Martin Marietta Materials Inc. By capacity it ranks #17 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 550,689 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 128,366 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,890,000 t of cement، يكون Midlothian Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في United States (1,100,000 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.
