Cement PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Roanoke Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Titan America LLC. By capacity it ranks #32 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 567,654 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 132,320 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 21% above the median cement plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,300,000 t of cement, Roanoke Cement Plant jest około medianę cement plant w United States (1,100,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 46% 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.
