Arabian Cement Attaka Plant

Arabian Cement Attaka Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 5,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Arabian Cement Company SJSC. By capacity it ranks #6 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 2,376,325 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 553,922 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% above the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1896673.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 5,000,000 t of cement Arabian Cement Attaka Plant — это значительно выше медианная cement plant в Egypt (2,690,000 t of cement). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 32% выше медианной cement plant. Подсектор: cement. Как cement plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 800–1400°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. Цементные заводы нагревают известняк до 1400°C во вращающихся печах — один из самых горячих промышленных процессов — и должны точно контролировать температуру по всей длине печи.

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