Cement PlantSpainCO₂ reported

Hontoria Cement Plant is a cement plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 815,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Portland Valderrivas SA. By capacity it ranks #25 of 29 cement plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 301,524 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 70,285 cars.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 815,000 t of cement, Hontoria Cement Plant jest poniżej medianę cement plant w Spain (1,361,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 29% powyżej medianę cement plant. 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.
