Cement PlantIraqCO₂ reported

Sulaymaniyah Cement Plant is a cement plant in Iraq with a reported capacity of 2,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Lafarge Iraq. By capacity it ranks #2 of 21 cement plants tracked in Iraq. It emits about 649,426 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 151,381 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 28% below the median cement plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 2,500,000 t of cement, Sulaymaniyah Cement Plant jest znacznie powyżej medianę cement plant w Iraq (1,934,000 t of cement). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 22% 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.
