Cement PlantBosnia and HerzegovinaCO₂ reported

Kakanj Cement Plant is a cement plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a reported capacity of 770,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Heidelberg Materials Cement BiH d.d. Kakanj. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 cement plants tracked in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It emits about 430,400 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 100,326 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 55% above the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 770,000 t of cement Kakanj Cement Plant — це приблизно медіана cement plant у Bosnia and Herzegovina (770,000 t of cement). Підсектор: cement. Як cement plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 800–1400°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Цементні заводи нагрівають вапняк до 1400°C у обертових печах — один із найгарячіших промислових процесів — і повинні точно контролювати температуру по всій довжині печі.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
