Juhayna West Cement Plant

Juhayna West Cement Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Lafarge Cement Company Egypt SAE. By capacity it ranks #18 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 724,251 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 168,823 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547266.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 2,000,000 t of cement ist Juhayna West Cement Plant unter dem Medianwert von cement plant in Egypt (2,690,000 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.
