Volkhov Cement Plant

Volkhov Cement Plant is a cement plant in Russian Federation with a reported capacity of 240,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Pikalevskaya Soda JSC. By capacity it ranks #52 of 53 cement plants tracked in Russian Federation. It emits about 176,600 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 41,166 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 104% above the median cement plant.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 240,000 t of cement, Volkhov Cement Plant è al di sotto di la mediana di cement plant in Russian Federation (1,700,000 t of cement). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 76% 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.
