Lamerd City aluminium plant

Lamerd City aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Iran with a reported capacity of 300,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by South Aluminium Co. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 aluminium smelters tracked in Iran. It emits about 580,039 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 135,207 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median aluminium smelter.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673095.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

300,000 t of alumina/aluminum'de, Lamerd City aluminium plant Iran'daki aluminium smelter'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 120,000 t of alumina/aluminum'dir. Alt sektör: aluminum. aluminium smelter olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 600–900°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. Alüminyum eritmeleri, alüminayı 900°C'nin üstündeki eritilmiş alüminyuma rafine etmek için büyük elektrik akımları kullanır ve sıcak metal pota ve dökme ekipmanı aracılığıyla akmalıdır.

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