W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 360,000 t of cement, Lukala Cement Plant jest poniżej medianę cement plant w Congo, The Democratic Republic of the (1,090,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 27% 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.
