Assess energy and carbon in pulp and paper

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

Open the assessment tools Download the evidence checklist

Set the assessment boundary

Separate pulping, recovery, paper machine, drying, utilities and purchased energy. State treatment of biogenic and fossil carbon.

Collect site evidence

Steam and condensate balance, fuels by origin, electricity, pulp and paper production, moisture, dryer duty and operating hours.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment

Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

View modular insulation Prepare a heat-loss study

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

Record the decision

Check whether a measure changes steam demand, condensate return, electricity generation, product moisture or recovery-system operation.

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review paper-machine steam and condensate equipment, dryer services, valves and flanges using a tagged inventory.
