South Valley Bani Suef Desert Cement Plant

South Valley Bani Suef Desert Cement Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 2,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by South Valley Cement Company SAE. By capacity it ranks #15 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 884,045 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 206,071 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% above the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896690.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 2,200,000 t of cement, South Valley Bani Suef Desert Cement Plant é em torno de a mediana de cement plant em Egypt (2,690,000 t of cement). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 12% acima de a mediana de cement plant. 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.
