Cement PlantCongoCO₂ reported
Mindouli Cement Plant is a cement plant in Congo 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 Diamond Cement Congo SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 cement plants tracked in Congo. It emits about 280,568 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 65,400 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median cement plant.

À 700,000 t of cement, Mindouli Cement Plant est bien au-dessus de la médiane des cement plant en Congo (300,000 t of cement). 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.
