Ardestan Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Iran. Approximate location 33.10728, 52.06088.

Cement PlantIranCO₂ reported

Ardestan Cement Plant is a cement plant in Iran with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Ardestan Cement Co. By capacity it ranks #28 of 69 cement plants tracked in Iran. It emits about 655,796 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 152,866 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 40% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,300,000 t of cement, Ardestan Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Iran (1,200,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 19% 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.
