BMIC Asyut Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Egypt. Approximate location 26.96323, 31.15113.

Cement PlantEgyptCO₂ reported

BMIC Asyut Cement Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 1,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Building Material Industry Co. By capacity it ranks #20 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 490,201 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 114,266 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,500,000 t of cement, BMIC Asyut Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Egypt (2,690,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 9% 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.
