Cement Plant in Tanzania. Approximate location -6.99571, 39.52248.

Cement PlantTanzaniaCO₂ reported

Lake Cement Plant is a cement plant in Tanzania with a reported capacity of 600,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Lake Cement Ltd. By capacity it ranks #6 of 6 cement plants tracked in Tanzania. It emits about 283,849 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,165 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 31% above the median cement plant.

在上下文中:该设施如何比较

在600,000 t of cement时,Lake Cement Plant是Tanzania中cement plant的中位数低于 1,100,000 t of cement。 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。
