Work it out for your plant
We do not yet publish consumption benchmarks for this sector, so start from your heat load or a steam figure you already know — the calculators take either.

How much boiler do I actually need?
Steam Cost Calculator
What does a tonne of steam cost me?
Condensate Recovery Calculator
How much am I pouring down the drain?
Steam Pipe Sizing Calculator
What size main do I need, and will it get there?
Or read the background in the Knowledge Hub, which covers boiler operations, steam distribution, condensate management and the regulatory position.
Already running a plant? Our lifecycle services cover installation and commissioning, boiler AMC, retrofits, plant audits, spare parts and operator training — on equipment from any manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions(2)
What steam does a paper mill need?
Steam is the drying medium, so demand is dominated by the dryer section rather than by stock preparation. Load is continuous and large, which favours a boiler sized for steady base-load duty with condensate returned from the dryer cans — the recovery there is substantial and usually the first efficiency measure worth doing.
Can a paper mill burn its own waste as fuel?
Sometimes. Rejects and sludge have a usable calorific value once dewatered, but moisture and ash content vary far more than bought fuel, so the boiler must be designed for that variability rather than adapted to it afterwards.
