Cement PlantCosta RicaCO₂ reported
Agua Caliente Cement Plant is a cement plant in Costa Rica with a reported capacity of 1,100,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim Costa Rica SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Costa Rica. It emits about 442,367 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 103,116 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% above the median cement plant.

Przy 1,100,000 t of cement, Agua Caliente Cement Plant jest około medianę cement plant w Costa Rica (1,100,000 t of cement). Podsektor: cement. Jako cement plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 800–1400°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Cementownie ogrzewają wapień do 1.400°C w piecach obracających się — jeden z najgorętszych procesów przemysłowych — i muszą precyzyjnie kontrolować temperaturę na całej długości pieca.
