Cement Plant in Guatemala. Approximate location 14.73533, -90.7014.
Cement PlantGuatemalaCO₂ reported
San Gabriel Cement Plant is a cement plant in Guatemala with a reported capacity of 2,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Progreso SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 cement plants tracked in Guatemala. It emits about 604,834 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 140,987 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% below the median cement plant.

À 2,200,000 t of cement, San Gabriel Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Guatemala (2,200,000 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.
