Cement Plant in Ecuador. Approximate location -1.6538, -78.75598.
Cement PlantEcuadorCO₂ reported
Chimborazo Cement Plant is a cement plant in Ecuador with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Unión Cementera Nacional SA. By capacity it ranks #3 of 4 cement plants tracked in Ecuador. It emits about 331,667 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 77,312 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438363.
À 700,000 t of cement, Chimborazo Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Ecuador (1,400,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 18% 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.
