Cement PlantIrelandCO₂ reported

Balleyconnell Cement Plant is a cement plant in Ireland 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 Mannok Build Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 cement plants tracked in Ireland. It emits about 649,735 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 151,453 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 29% above the median cement plant.

在上下文中:该设施如何比较

在1,400,000 t of cement时,Balleyconnell Cement Plant是Ireland中cement plant的中位数约 1,400,000 t of cement。 其单位容量的CO₂约为cement plant中位数的高于 11%。 子部门:cement。 作为cement plant,它需要强烈的工艺热量(通常800–1400°C)来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量,通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%,将表面冷却至≤45°C,投资回收期通常不到2年。 水泥厂在回转窑中将石灰石加热到1,400°C——是最热的工业过程之一——必须在整个窑长上精确控制温度。
