Cement Plant in Congo. Approximate location -4.28977, 13.85754.
Cement PlantCongoCO₂ reported
SONOCC Madingou Cement Plant is a cement plant in Congo with a reported capacity of 300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Société Nouvelle de Ciment du Congo. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 cement plants tracked in Congo. It emits about 127,249 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 29,662 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896552.
À 300,000 t of cement, SONOCC Madingou Cement Plant est autour 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.
