Cement Plant in Argentina. Approximate location -38.8965, -70.03534.
Cement PlantArgentinaCO₂ reported
Zapala Cement Plant is a cement plant in Argentina 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 Loma Negra Compania Industrial Argentina SA. By capacity it ranks #10 of 10 cement plants tracked in Argentina. It emits about 75,568 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 17,615 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 48% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32437223.
À 400,000 t of cement, Zapala Cement Plant est en dessous de la médiane des cement plant en Argentina (1,600,000 t of cement). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 45% en dessous 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.
