W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 218,889 t of pulp & paper, Facture Biganos Pulp and Paper Mill jest około medianę pulp & paper mill w France (218,889 t of pulp & paper). Podsektor: pulp-and-paper. Jako pulp & paper mill, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 150–250°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Fabryki mas celulozowych i papieru generują własną parę do procesu rozrabiania i suszenia papieru, obsługując duże systemy kotłów, gdzie straty ciepła bezpośrednio zmniejszają efektywność.
