ZS Zellstoff Stendal GmbH - Mercer Stendal

ZS Zellstoff Stendal GmbH - Mercer Stendal is a pulp & paper mill in Germany with a reported capacity of 333,627 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Mercer International Inc. By capacity it ranks #1 of 12 pulp & paper mills tracked in Germany. It emits about 160,166 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 37,335 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375505.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 333,627 t of pulp & paper, ZS Zellstoff Stendal GmbH - Mercer Stendal est bien au-dessus de la médiane des pulp & paper mill en Germany (199,500 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.
