Matutine Cement Plant

Cement Plant in Mozambique. Approximate location -26.39436, 32.65276.

Cement PlantMozambiqueCO₂ reported

Matutine Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mozambique with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Moçambique Dugongo Cimentos SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 cement plants tracked in Mozambique. It emits about 801,997 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 186,946 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median cement plant.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 2,000,000 t of cement, Matutine Cement Plant é bem acima de a mediana de cement plant em Mozambique (250,000 t of cement). Subsetor: cement. Como cement plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1400°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As cimenteiras aquecem calcário a 1.400°C em fornos rotativos — um dos processos industriais mais quentes — e devem controlar a temperatura com precisão em todo o comprimento do forno.
