Cement PlantUnited KingdomCO₂ reported

Padeswood Cement Plant is a cement plant in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials UK Ltd. By capacity it ranks #7 of 10 cement plants tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 252,804 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 58,929 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% below the median cement plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,000,000 t of cement, Padeswood Cement Plant jest około medianę cement plant w United Kingdom (1,000,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 38% 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.
