Cement PlantUzbekistanCO₂ reported

Surkhandarya Cement Plant is a cement plant in Uzbekistan with a reported capacity of 1,100,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Surhonsementinvest LLC. By capacity it ranks #12 of 18 cement plants tracked in Uzbekistan. It emits about 448,456 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 104,535 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 13% above the median cement plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,100,000 t of cement Surkhandarya Cement Plant — це нижче медіана cement plant у Uzbekistan (1,400,000 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.

Heat loss & insulation profile

A cement plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: rotary kiln shell, preheater tower, tertiary air duct & kiln hood, clinker-cooler ducts, valves (surface/process temperatures around 200–1,000 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.

60% of cement CO2 is process calcination - NOT insulation-addressable; energy here is the fuel side only.

Indicative recoverable energy

On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 10,000 MWh/yr (≈ 3,500 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
