Cement Plant in Algeria. Approximate location 27.25886, 1.21641.

Cement PlantAlgeriaCO₂ reported

Timegtane Cement Plant is a cement plant in Algeria with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Groupe industriel des ciments d'Algérie SpA. By capacity it ranks #10 of 16 cement plants tracked in Algeria. It emits about 391,018 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 91,146 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,000,000 t of cement، يكون Timegtane Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Algeria (1,200,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 8% 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.
