Cement Plant in Romania. Approximate location 44.242, 28.30633.

Cement PlantRomaniaCO₂ reported

Medgidia Cement Plant is a cement plant in Romania with a reported capacity of 3,400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by ROMCIM SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 7 cement plants tracked in Romania. It emits about 758,870 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 176,893 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 38% below the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 3,400,000 t of cement, Medgidia Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en Romania (1,900,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 28% 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.
