Bahia Sul

Bahia Sul is a pulp & paper mill in Brazil with a reported capacity of 825,841 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Suzano SA. By capacity it ranks #8 of 39 pulp & paper mills tracked in Brazil. It emits about 416,857 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 97,169 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375353.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 825,841 t of pulp & paper, Bahia Sul é bem acima de a mediana de pulp & paper mill em Brazil (534,368 t of pulp & paper). Subsetor: pulp-and-paper. Como pulp & paper mill, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 150–250°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As fábricas de celulose e papel geram seu próprio vapor para o processo de polpa e secadores de papel, operando grandes sistemas de caldeiras onde a perda de calor reduz diretamente a eficiência.
