AHCC Zliten Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Libya. Approximate location 32.4235, 14.4856.

Cement PlantLibyaCO₂ reported

AHCC Zliten Cement Plant is a cement plant in Libya with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Al Ahlia Cement Co. By capacity it ranks #1 of 5 cement plants tracked in Libya. It emits about 853,771 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 199,014 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 2,000,000 t of cement, AHCC Zliten Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en Libya (1,000,000 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.
