Cement Plant in Mexico. Approximate location 25.70095, -100.29797.

Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Monterrey Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 200,000 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 #33 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 56,915 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 13,267 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 21% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 200,000 t of cement، يكون Monterrey Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 6% أعلى 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.
