Vijay Puthanampatti Cement Plant

Vijay Puthanampatti Cement Plant is a cement plant in India with a reported capacity of 108,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Vijay Cements. By capacity it ranks #158 of 160 cement plants tracked in India. It emits about 48,349 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,270 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% above the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-42547394.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 108,000 t of cement, Vijay Puthanampatti Cement Plant é abaixo de a mediana de cement plant em India (2,500,000 t of cement). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 19% 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.
