Cement PlantAustraliaCO₂ reported

Railton Cement Plant is a cement plant in Australia with a reported capacity of 1,400,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cement Australia Holdings Pty Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 5 cement plants tracked in Australia. It emits about 801,023 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 186,719 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 59% above the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,400,000 t of cement Railton Cement Plant — це приблизно медіана cement plant у Australia (1,500,000 t of cement). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 66% вище медіани cement plant. 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.
