Sungshin Cement Danyang Cement Plant

Sungshin Cement Danyang Cement Plant is a cement plant in South Korea with a reported capacity of 11,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Sungshin Cement Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 12 cement plants tracked in South Korea. It emits about 6,146,734 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,432,805 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 51% above the median cement plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 11,300,000 t of cement ist Sungshin Cement Danyang Cement Plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von cement plant in South Korea (3,750,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 36% 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.
