Sun Paper Holdings Laos Pulp Mill

Sun Paper Holdings Laos Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Laos with a reported capacity of 11,826 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It emits about 6,391 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,490 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375673.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 11,826 t of pulp & paper, Sun Paper Holdings Laos Pulp Mill está alrededor de la mediana de pulp & paper mill en Laos (11,826 t of pulp & paper). Subsector: pulp-and-paper. Como pulp & paper mill, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 150–250°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas de celulosa y papel generan su propio vapor para el proceso de pulpado y secadores de papel, operando grandes sistemas de calderas donde la pérdida de calor reduce directamente la eficiencia.
