Cement Plant in Costa Rica. Approximate location 9.83151, -83.90517.
Cement PlantCosta RicaCO₂ reported
Agua Caliente Cement Plant is a cement plant in Costa Rica with a reported capacity of 1,100,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim Costa Rica SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Costa Rica. It emits about 442,367 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 103,116 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% above the median cement plant.

À 1,100,000 t of cement, Agua Caliente Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Costa Rica (1,100,000 t of cement). Sous-secteur: cement. Comme cement plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1400°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les cimenteries chauffent le calcaire à 1.400°C dans des fours rotatifs — l'un des processus industriels les plus chauds — et doivent contrôler la température avec précision sur toute la longueur du four.
