Arabian Cement Attaka Plant

Cement Plant in Egypt. Approximate location 29.79781, 32.14794.

Cement PlantEgyptCO₂ reported

Arabian Cement Attaka Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 5,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Arabian Cement Company SJSC. By capacity it ranks #6 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 2,376,325 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 553,922 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 5,000,000 t of cement, Arabian Cement Attaka Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en Egypt (2,690,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 32% 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.
