Cement Plant in Iraq. Approximate location 31.22738, 45.00206.
Cement PlantIraqCO₂ reported
Al Khinaq Cement Plant is a cement plant in Iraq with a reported capacity of 1,959,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Southern Cement State Co. By capacity it ranks #10 of 21 cement plants tracked in Iraq. It emits about 726,085 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 169,251 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438744.
À 1,959,000 t of cement, Al Khinaq Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Iraq (1,934,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 11% au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant. 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.
