Industrial operations

An example of market

competitiveness and operational excellence

"Our industrial pulp production complex in Três Lagoas is one of the most modern, safe, and competitive in the world. Its high level of operational efficiency results from investments in innovation, automated processes, state-of-the-art equipment and machines, and an industrial management system (IMS) that focuses on continuous operational improvement. Our highly qualified and innovative team, determined to achieve the best results, supports the operational excellence of the mill, the pulp production of which exceeds its nominal capacity by 18%. The mill’s efficiency also results in more sustainable operations: we produce more pulp, while consuming less water, using fewer chemicals, generating less effluent and greenhouse gases, and producing our own clean, renewable energy from the biomass of eucalyptus residue. "

Facts & Figures

  • 1.8 million tons

    of pulp per year, 18% above the project's nominal capacity.

  • 5,000 tons

    of eucalyptus pulp produced per day

  • 95%

    operational efficiency at our mill, according to the maximum sustainable rate (MSR)

  • 28%

    reduction in water consumption during pulp production since operations began

  • 220 MW

    of green, renewable energy capacity, generated from the biomass of eucalyptus residue

Single-production-line

mill

Eldorado Brazil's industrial plant has a single production line, enabling it to continuously produce large volumes of pulp with completely uniform characteristics, resulting in a uniform, consistent product with lasting quality. The process is as follows: eucalyptus wood arrives at the mill already debarked, ready to be chipped and cooked. The resulting cellulosic pulp is then washed, bleached, and dried. Sheets of the pulp are then packed in bales, ready to be distributed to our customers worldwide. The quality of our pulp is globally recognized.
Our industrial complex is one of the most modern and safest in the world. Every stage of the production chain is controlled by automatic, computerized, integrated systems. With our Autonomous Mill project, we are increasing automation using Industry 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. We use virtual models to design production scenarios 12 months in advance and invest in technologies and tools that monitor and anticipate equipment failures and process interferences, enabling action to be taken before they occur. These advances increase the mill’s availability and operational efficiency. It also has an online system for monitoring gases and temperatures in confined spaces, increasing employee safety. Our mill uses the best available techniques (BAT) with high levels of competitiveness and productivity and is one of the safest in the world, awarded highly protected risk (HPR) status by insurance company FM Global.

Green energy for the

mill and for Brazil

We are self-sufficiently powered by clean, renewable energy that we generate from the biomass of eucalyptus residue. Our power generation park is capable of generating 220 MW per hour. This energy is used by our mill and by partner industries in our industrial complex, while all surplus is supplied to the national electricity grid.
