Facture Biganos Pulp and Paper Mill

Facture Biganos Pulp and Paper Mill is a pulp & paper mill in France with a reported capacity of 218,889 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Smurfit Kappa Group PLC. By capacity it ranks #4 of 9 pulp & paper mills tracked in France. It emits about 86,431 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 20,147 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 218,889 t of pulp & paper ist Facture Biganos Pulp and Paper Mill etwa um dem Medianwert von pulp & paper mill in France (218,889 t of pulp & paper). Untersektor: pulp-and-paper. Als pulp & paper mill benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 150–250°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Zellstoff- und Papierfabriken erzeugen ihren eigenen Dampf für Zellstoff-Prozess und Papiertrockner, betreiben große Dampfkesselanlagen, wo Wärmeverlust die Effizienz direkt reduziert.
