Cement PlantEcuadorCO₂ reported
Guayaquil Cement Plant is a cement plant in Ecuador with a reported capacity of 5,400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim (Ecuador) SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 cement plants tracked in Ecuador. It emits about 2,173,984 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 506,756 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% above the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896668.
Przy 5,400,000 t of cement, Guayaquil Cement Plant jest znacznie powyżej medianę cement plant w Ecuador (1,400,000 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.
