Cement Plant in Belgium. Approximate location 50.57656, 3.44408.

Cement PlantBelgiumCO₂ reported

Antoing Cement Plant is a cement plant in Belgium with a reported capacity of 800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials Benelux SA. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 cement plants tracked in Belgium. It emits about 136,233 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 31,756 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 53% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 800,000 t of cement, Antoing Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Belgium (1,700,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 51% en dessous 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.
