Uxheim Cement Plant

Uxheim Cement Plant is a cement plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 150,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Wotan Zement GmbH & Co KG. By capacity it ranks #32 of 32 cement plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 44,994 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 10,488 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 17% below the median cement plant.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

150,000 t of cement'de, Uxheim Cement Plant Germany'daki cement plant'lerin medyanı altında 1,000,000 t of cement'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si cement plant'nin medyanı altında kabaca 5%'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.
