Cement PlantAustraliaCO₂ reported
Birkenhead Cement Plant is a cement plant in Australia with a reported capacity of 1,600,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Adelaide Brighton Cement Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 5 cement plants tracked in Australia. It emits about 552,941 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 128,891 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895133.
À 1,600,000 t of cement, Birkenhead Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Australia (1,500,000 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.
