Cement Plant in India. Approximate location 9.37459, 77.67864.

Cement PlantIndiaCO₂ reported

Tamilnadu Cements Alangalum Cement Plant is a cement plant in India with a reported capacity of 400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Tamilnadu Cements Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #146 of 160 cement plants tracked in India. It emits about 158,900 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 37,040 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 400,000 t of cement, Tamilnadu Cements Alangalum Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en India (2,500,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 5% au-dessus 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.
