LafargeHolcim Sunamganj Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Bangladesh. Approximate location 25.03479, 91.64871.

Cement PlantBangladeshCO₂ reported

LafargeHolcim Sunamganj Cement Plant is a cement plant in Bangladesh with a reported capacity of 1,450,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by LafargeHolcim Bangladesh PLC. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Bangladesh. It emits about 265,237 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 61,827 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 49% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,450,000 t of cement, LafargeHolcim Sunamganj Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Bangladesh (1,450,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 66% 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.
