Durkee Cement Plant

Durkee Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1,084,100 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Ash Grove Cement Co. By capacity it ranks #51 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 268,420 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 62,569 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 31% 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

1,084,100 t of cementで、Durkee Cement PlantはUnited Statesのcement plantの中央値約 1,100,000 t of cementです。 容量あたりのCO₂は、cement plantの中央値下約17%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。

容量およびCO₂強度の比較はClimate TRACEの産業施設データから計算されました。セクターの役割は工学リファレンスに基づいています。
