Vassiliko Cement Plant

Vassiliko Cement Plant is a cement plant in Cyprus with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Vassiliko Cement Works PCL. It emits about 497,723 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 116,019 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 31% below the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438303.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 2,000,000 t of cement, Vassiliko Cement Plant è attorno a la mediana di cement plant in Cyprus (2,000,000 t of cement). 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.
