Cement PlantSouth AfricaCO₂ reported
Ray Nkonyeni Cement Plant is a cement plant in South Africa with a reported capacity of 1,480,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Natal Portland Cement Company Pty Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 13 cement plants tracked in South Africa. It emits about 630,424 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 146,952 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32439415.
عند 1,480,000 t of cement، يكون Ray Nkonyeni Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في South Africa (1,200,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 28% 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.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
