Zhongyayici Salavan Cement Plant

Zhongyayici Salavan Cement Plant is a cement plant in Laos with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Zhongyayici Company. By capacity it ranks #9 of 10 cement plants tracked in Laos. It emits about 228,618 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 53,291 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% above the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897431.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 500,000 t of cement, Zhongyayici Salavan Cement Plant está por debajo de la mediana de cement plant en Laos (1,500,000 t of cement). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 11% por encima de la mediana de cement plant. Subsector: cement. Como cement plant, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 800–1400°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas de cemento calientan piedra caliza a 1.400°C en hornos rotativos — uno de los procesos industriales más calientes — y deben controlar la temperatura con precisión en toda la longitud del horno.
