Steel Plant in Oman. Approximate location 24.41335, 56.52246.

Steel PlantOmanCO₂ reported

Moon Iron & Steel Company Sohar plant is a steel plant in Oman with a reported capacity of 1,200,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Moon Iron and Steel Company SAOC. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 steel plants tracked in Oman. It emits about 301,027 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 70,169 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% below the median steel plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,200,000 t of steel, Moon Iron & Steel Company Sohar plant jest około medianę steel plant w Oman (1,200,000 t of steel). Podsektor: iron-and-steel. Jako steel plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 800–1500°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. Huty stali spalają węgiel w piecach wielkich lub używają łuków elektrycznych do topienia złomu; w obu przypadkach metal w stanie płynnym musi być utrzymywany powyżej 1.500°C i przenoszony przez rozległy system gorących rur i zbiorników.
