Redding Cement Plant

Redding Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 635,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CalPortland Co. By capacity it ranks #72 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 210,249 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 49,009 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 8% below the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1898011.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 635,000 t of cement, Redding Cement Plant è al di sotto di la mediana di cement plant in United States (1,100,000 t of cement). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 11% al di sopra di la mediana di cement plant. Sottosettore: cement. Come cement plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1400°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Le cementerie riscaldano il calcare a 1.400°C in forni rotativi — uno dei processi industriali più caldi — e devono controllare la temperatura con precisione lungo l'intera lunghezza del forno.
