Aceros Arequipa Pisco steel plant

Steel Plant in Peru. Approximate location -13.79028, -76.1666.

Steel PlantPeruCO₂ reported

Aceros Arequipa Pisco steel plant is a steel plant in Peru with a reported capacity of 1,250,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Corporacion Aceros Arequipa SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 steel plants tracked in Peru. It emits about 84,193 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 19,625 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 88% below the median steel plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1,250,000 t of steel Aceros Arequipa Pisco steel plant — это примерно медианная steel plant в Peru (1,250,000 t of steel). Подсектор: iron-and-steel. Как steel plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 800–1500°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Сталелитейные заводы сжигают уголь в доменных печах или используют электрические дуги для плавления лома; в обоих случаях расплавленный металл должен находиться выше 1500°C и транспортироваться через обширные горячие трубопроводы и сосуды.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
