Dragon Pinlaung Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Myanmar. Approximate location 20.46387, 96.67051.

Cement PlantMyanmarCO₂ reported

Dragon Pinlaung Cement Plant is a cement plant in Myanmar with a reported capacity of 180,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Dragon Cement Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #14 of 16 cement plants tracked in Myanmar. It emits about 103,117 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 24,037 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 59% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 180,000 t of cement, Dragon Pinlaung Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Myanmar (750,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 33% 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.
