Cement PlantNew ZealandCO₂ reported

Portland Cement Plant is a cement plant in New Zealand with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Golden Bay Cement Co Ltd. It emits about 371,744 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 86,654 cars.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,000,000 t of cement, Portland Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en New Zealand (1,000,000 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.
