Valea Mare Pravat Cement Plant

Valea Mare Pravat Cement Plant is a cement plant in Romania with a reported capacity of 900,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim (Romania) SA. By capacity it ranks #7 of 7 cement plants tracked in Romania. It emits about 325,341 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 75,837 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32439053.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 900,000 t of cement ist Valea Mare Pravat Cement Plant unter dem Medianwert von cement plant in Romania (1,900,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 17% 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.
