Cement PlantBrazilCO₂ reported

Barroso Cement Plant is a cement plant in Brazil with a reported capacity of 3,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CSN Cimentos Brasil SA. By capacity it ranks #6 of 57 cement plants tracked in Brazil. It emits about 1,052,724 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 245,390 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median cement plant.

文脈内で:この施設がどのように比較されるか

3,200,000 t of cementで、Barroso Cement PlantはBrazilのcement plantの中央値はるかに上 1,461,000 t of cementです。 サブセクター:cement。 cement plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱(通常800–1400°C)が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80~96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 セメント工場は回転キルンでセメント石を1,400°Cに加熱します。最も高温の産業プロセスの1つであり、キルン全体の温度を正確に制御する必要があります。
