Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia

Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia is a pulp & paper mill in Spain with a reported capacity of 685,000 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. It is operated by Ence Energía y Celulosa SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 pulp & paper mills tracked in Spain. It emits about 209,957 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 48,941 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 43% below the median pulp & paper mill.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-44375519.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 685,000 t of pulp & paper, Grupo Empresarial ENCE S.A. Divisíon de Celulosa - Pulp Mill Navia é bem acima de a mediana de pulp & paper mill em Spain (515,000 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.
