El Hassasna Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Algeria. Approximate location 34.79915, 0.32851.

Cement PlantAlgeriaCO₂ reported

El Hassasna Cement Plant is a cement plant in Algeria with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Societe Des Ciments De Saida. By capacity it ranks #16 of 16 cement plants tracked in Algeria. It emits about 214,960 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 50,107 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 500,000 t of cement, El Hassasna Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Algeria (1,200,000 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.
