Cement Plant in Finland. Approximate location 61.0335, 28.177.

Cement PlantFinlandCO₂ reported

Lappeenranta Cement Plant is a cement plant in Finland with a reported capacity of 550,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Finnsementti Oy. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 cement plants tracked in Finland. It emits about 106,600 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 24,848 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 46% below the median cement plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 550,000 t of cement, Lappeenranta Cement Plant jest poniżej medianę cement plant w Finland (1,000,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 62% poniżej 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.
