في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 325,000 t of pulp & paper، يكون Opal Australian Paper - Maryvale Mill حوالي متوسط pulp & paper mill في Australia (325,000 t of pulp & paper). القطاع الفرعي: pulp-and-paper. كـ pulp & paper mill، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 150–250°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تولد مصانع اللب والورق بخارها الخاص لعملية اللب ومجففات الورق، وتشغل أنظمة غلايات واسعة حيث يقلل فقدان الحرارة الكفاءة مباشرة.
