Barroso Cement Plant

Barroso Cement Plant is a cement plant in Brazil with a reported capacity of 3,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CSN Cimentos Brasil SA. By capacity it ranks #6 of 57 cement plants tracked in Brazil. It emits about 1,052,724 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 245,390 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32437302.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

3,200,000 t of cement'de, Barroso Cement Plant Brazil'daki cement plant'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 1,461,000 t of cement'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.
