Mexican industrial paper producer cuts energy costs
Compañía Industrial Papelera Poblana S.A. de C.V. can use avus 500plus in island mode if required
Facts & figures

Compañía Industrial Papelera Poblana, with production facilities in Puebla, Mexico, is a paper manufacturer specializing in the production of liner and medium-weight semi-kraft paper. The company has the capacity to produce papers from 115 to 600 g/m². With an avus 500plus for the power supply and a steam generator for the production process, the paper manufacturer is optimally equipped.
In-house energy supplier with the avus 500plus
For more than 80 years, the producer of industrial paper has combined the highest product quality with unbeatable service. The company prioritizes sustainable development and a strong sense of responsibility towards nature and environmental protection. Compañía Industrial Papelera Poblana relies on highly efficient combined heat and power generation to make its energy supply independent and economical. At the Puebla site, an avus 500plus ensures the decentralized generation of electricity and heat, which is used directly in paper production.
Island mode ensures a smooth energy supply
The avus500 plus combined heat and power plant can be used autonomously in the event of grid failures, i.e. completely independently of other electrical energy sources. This type of installation, known as island mode, ensures that the company has a continuous supply of electricity and thermal energy, which is essential for production - completely independent of the public grid.
The avus 500plus has an electrical output of 500 kW and a total thermal output of 526 kW. Here, 219 kW of thermal power from the exhaust gas heat is used for steam generation. This produces 320 kg of steam per hour, which is used for paper production. The overall efficiency is around 81.5% (39.7% electrical and 41.8% thermal). Thanks to the secure energy supply, the company is able to guarantee continuous production. Unwanted gaps in production are therefore a thing of the past. This type of installation is characterized by low noise emissions (65 dB) and a short installation time (plug and play).
