RDM Paprinsa’s industrial plant in Mollerusa has reduced its natural gas consumption by 12%. natural gas thanks to a heat recovery system implemented by ENGIE. This collaboration is part of the joint strategy of both companies to promote a more efficient production model aligned with the principles of sustainability.

The system installed in the steam production boiler incorporates an economizer that reuses the waste heat from the combustion gases to preheat the feed water. This type of technical solution improves the thermal efficiency of the production process and contributes directly to reducing the use of fossil fuels. fossil fuels.

Official certification of savings in the recycled cardboard factory

The project was carried out under the parameters established in the IND230 technical sheet, which regulates heat transfer between exothermic and endothermic processes within the same plant. The results were verified by EQA (European Quality Assurance), which allowed RDM Paprinsa to access the Energy Saving Certificates (CAE), promoted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition.

RDM Paprinsa, a member of the European RDM Group, maintains a production approach based on the circular economy. Its recycled cardboard is designed to be reincorporated into the cycle of use through recovery and recycling processes, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability.

With a consolidated presence in the Spanish market, ENGIE promotes solutions that combine efficiency, emissions reduction and competitive improvement for the industry. ENGIE’s participation in this project reflects its active role in the decarbonization of the productive sector through initiatives that integrate technological innovation and climate objectives.
