Exshaw Cement Plant

Exshaw Cement Plant is a cement plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 2,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Lafarge Canada Inc. By capacity it ranks #2 of 15 cement plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 901,178 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 210,065 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% above the median cement plant.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

2,200,000 t of cementで、Exshaw Cement PlantはCanadaのcement plantの中央値はるかに上 1,200,000 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。

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。
