Kamloops Kraft Pulp Mill

Kamloops Kraft Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Canada with a reported capacity of 202,052 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by DOMTAR Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 of 53 pulp & paper mills tracked in Canada. It emits about 109,194 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 25,453 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375414.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 202,052 t of pulp & paper, Kamloops Kraft Pulp Mill est autour de la médiane des pulp & paper mill en Canada (163,636 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.
