Atotonilco Cement Plant

Atotonilco Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CEMEX SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #18 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 487,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 113,520 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1897478.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

1,300,000 t of cement'de, Atotonilco Cement Plant Mexico'daki cement plant'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 1,300,000 t of cement'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si cement plant'nin medyanı üstünde kabaca 40%'dir. Alt sektör: cement. cement plant olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 800–1400°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Çimento fabrikaları kireci döner ocaklarda 1.400°C'ye ısıtır — en sıcak endüstriyel işlemlerden biridir — ve sıcaklığı fırının tüm uzunluğunda hassasiyetle kontrol etmelidir.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
