Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia

Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia is a pulp & paper mill in Spain with a reported capacity of 685,000 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Ence Energía y Celulosa SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 pulp & paper mills tracked in Spain. It emits about 209,957 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 48,941 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 43% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375519.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 685,000 t of pulp & paper, Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia est bien au-dessus de la médiane des pulp & paper mill en Spain (515,000 t of pulp & paper). Sous-secteur: pulp-and-paper. Comme pulp & paper mill, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 150–250°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les papeteries génèrent leur propre vapeur pour le procédé de cuisson et les sécheurs de papier, exploitant de grands systèmes de chaudières où la perte de chaleur réduit directement l'efficacité.
