Rauma Pulp Mill

Rauma Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Finland with a reported capacity of 642,628 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by UPM-Kymmene Oyj. By capacity it ranks #6 of 19 pulp & paper mills tracked in Finland. It emits about 284,737 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,372 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 642,628 t of pulp & paper ist Rauma Pulp Mill etwa um dem Medianwert von pulp & paper mill in Finland (637,000 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.
