Tarajiq Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Iran. Approximate location 37.29487, 55.48201.

Cement PlantIranCO₂ reported

Tarajiq Cement Plant is a cement plant in Iran with a reported capacity of 1,160,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Peyvand Golestan Cement Co. By capacity it ranks #38 of 69 cement plants tracked in Iran. It emits about 203,089 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 47,340 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 51% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,160,000 t of cement، يكون Tarajiq Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Iran (1,200,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 59% 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.

Heat loss & insulation profile

A cement plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: rotary kiln shell, preheater tower, tertiary air duct & kiln hood, clinker-cooler ducts, valves (surface/process temperatures around 200–1,000 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.

60% of cement CO2 is process calcination - NOT insulation-addressable; energy here is the fuel side only.

Indicative recoverable energy

On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 8,200 MWh/yr (≈ 2,800 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
