文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

325,000 t of pulp & paperで、Smurfit Kappa Nervión Pulp MillはSpainのpulp & paper millの中央値以下 515,000 t of pulp & paperです。 サブセクター：pulp-and-paper。 pulp & paper millとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常150–250°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 パルプおよび製紙工場は、パルピングプロセスおよび紙乾燥機のための独自の蒸気を生成し、大規模なボイラーシステムを運用します。熱損失は効率に直接影響します。
