Cement Plant in Tanzania. Approximate location -5.10796, 38.99662.

Cement PlantTanzaniaCO₂ reported

Tanzania Portland Tanga Cement Plant is a cement plant in Tanzania with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Tanzania Portland Cement PLC. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 cement plants tracked in Tanzania. It emits about 645,540 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 150,476 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 38% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,300,000 t of cement، يكون Tanzania Portland Tanga Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Tanzania (1,100,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 5% 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.
