Al Muzahimiyah Grey Cement Plant

Al Muzahimiyah Grey Cement Plant is a cement plant in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 4,229,167 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Riyadh Cement Company SJSC. By capacity it ranks #9 of 19 cement plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 1,479,345 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 344,836 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547378.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 4,229,167 t of cement ist Al Muzahimiyah Grey Cement Plant etwa um dem Medianwert von cement plant in Saudi Arabia (4,000,000 t of cement). Untersektor: cement. Als cement plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1400°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Zementanlagen erhitzen Kalkstein auf 1.400°C in Drehrohröfen — einer der heißesten Industrieprozesse — und müssen die Temperatur über die gesamte Ofenlänge präzise kontrollieren.
