Suzano - Unidade Rio Verde

Suzano - Unidade Rio Verde is a pulp & paper mill in Brazil with a reported capacity of 24,289 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Suzano SA. By capacity it ranks #38 of 39 pulp & paper mills tracked in Brazil. It emits about 12,260 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 2,858 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375361.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 24,289 t of pulp & paper, Suzano - Unidade Rio Verde está por debajo de la mediana de pulp & paper mill en Brazil (534,368 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.
