Cement Plant in Mexico. Approximate location 28.92825, -110.82731.

Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Yaqui Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 1,800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CEMEX SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #11 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 474,757 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 110,666 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% below the median cement plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,800,000 t of cement, Yaqui Cement Plant jest znacznie powyżej medianę cement plant w Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). 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.
