Cement Plant in Egypt. Approximate location 23.49006, 32.23043.

Cement PlantEgyptCO₂ reported

Aswan Cement Plant is a cement plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 750,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Medcom Aswan Cement Co. By capacity it ranks #25 of 26 cement plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 471,283 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 109,856 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 74% above the median cement plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 750,000 t of cement Aswan Cement Plant — это ниже медианная cement plant в Egypt (2,690,000 t of cement). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 75% 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.
