Cement Plant in Argentina. Approximate location -31.48184, -64.35271.
Cement PlantArgentinaCO₂ reported
Santa María Cement Plant is a cement plant in Argentina with a reported capacity of 4,700,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim (Argentina) SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 10 cement plants tracked in Argentina. It emits about 1,739,723 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 405,530 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895123.
Bei 4,700,000 t of cement ist Santa María Cement Plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von cement plant in Argentina (1,600,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 7% über dem Medianwert von cement plant. 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.
