Tanzania Portland Dar Es Salaam Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Tanzania. Approximate location -6.66272, 39.16701.

Cement PlantTanzaniaCO₂ reported

Tanzania Portland Dar Es Salaam Cement Plant is a cement plant in Tanzania 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 Tanzania Portland Cement PLC. By capacity it ranks #5 of 6 cement plants tracked in Tanzania. It emits about 388,949 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 90,664 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% above the median cement plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 700,000 t of cement, Tanzania Portland Dar Es Salaam Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Tanzania (1,100,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 17% 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.
