"Thirteenth Five-Year" environmental protection indicators continue to increase, how to build a beautiful chemical industry causes concern

"Global Coatings Network News"

After the Tengger Desert pollution case in 2014, the pollution problem of the dye industry began to attract attention from all walks of life.

Ou Qi called for vigilance against the transfer of pollution from the dye industry to areas with weak supervision, and strengthened national-level law enforcement supervision, so that polluting companies no longer have a place to hide.

Voice of the National Two Sessions

Environmental inspectors cannot become environmental inspectors

Pan Biling, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of Hunan Provincial Environmental Protection Department

At present, the Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group is established under the leadership of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, with the participation of relevant leaders from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department.
Due to the large proportion of the environmental protection department in the inspection team, in practice, some local party committees and governments have seen that the supervisors are all people from the environmental protection department, and they also feel that the environmental protection inspection is the responsibility of the environmental protection department, turning the environmental protection inspection into the environmental protection inspection.
, The work is done by the environmental protection department, and the accountability is assumed by the environmental protection department, distorting the original intention of the environmental protection inspector.

Therefore, it is necessary to adjust and improve the composition and structure of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection Team.
It is recommended that the Central Office and the State Council should take the lead, with relevant departments of the Central and State Council and relevant central enterprises participating, such as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Central Organization Department and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Water Resources.
The relevant departments of environmental governance have made the composition of the central environmental protection inspection team more authoritative and representative.

Put corporate sewage in the "sun"

Wan Jie, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Central Standing Committee of the Democratic League, and Chairman of Artron Culture Group

Put the company's sewage discharge under the "sunlight".
The new "Environmental Protection Law" has been implemented for 3 years, and some cities have not disclosed relevant enterprise information related to waste gas, waste water, hazardous chemicals, etc.
as required.
All local environmental protection departments should actively implement the requirements of the "Regulations on the Management of the List of Key Pollutant Discharge Units (for Trial Implementation)", formulate a list of key pollutant discharge units in the region in a timely manner, and disclose pollutant discharge information to the public.

In addition, the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law" that came into effect on January 1 this year requires that enterprises, institutions and producers and operators of toxic and harmful water pollutants should monitor their sewage outlets and the surrounding environment, assess environmental risks, and investigate potential environmental safety hazards.
, And disclose information on toxic and harmful water pollutants, and take effective preventive measures.
Relevant law enforcement agencies should also strengthen supervision and strictly deal with enterprises that discharge pollutants that do not meet relevant environmental protection requirements.

Pay attention to the pollution of deserts and groundwater bodies

Wang Rucheng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Dean of the School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Nanjing University

"It's the same in the industry" and "It's better after the limelight" fluke favors, making some local polluting companies always resurrect.
In addition to paying attention to visible pollution, relevant departments must also pay attention to invisible and hard-to-detect pollution, such as desert pollution in remote areas and groundwater pollution.

Strengthen the construction of an environmental credit system

Yu Huiwen, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Sichuan Provincial Environmental Protection Department

It is necessary to strengthen the construction of an environmental credit system to make it difficult for environmentally untrustworthy enterprises to make progress.
From a national perspective, nearly half of the provinces have not yet officially launched environmental credit evaluation work.
Most of the provinces that have carried out credit evaluation are limited to key state-controlled enterprises.
In some provinces, there are only a few hundred enterprises participating in the evaluation.
Even the provinces that are in the forefront of the country, participating in the evaluation have not achieved full coverage of pollution source enterprises.
The environmental integrity awareness and credit level of some enterprises are still not high overall, and illegal and untrustworthy behaviors such as construction projects that have not been approved by the environmental impact assessment, pollutant discharge units exceed the standard discharge, secret pipes, tampering with forged monitoring data, and other illegal and untrustworthy behaviors still exist.

Voice of the dye industry

Develop an environmental protection precision law enforcement system

Tian Liming, Vice President of China Dyestuff Industry Association

In the final analysis, the pollution problem of the dye industry is still law enforcement.
Due to the insufficient enforcement of the relevant law enforcement agencies in our country on the elimination of backward processes such as iron powder reduction, this has given these polluting enterprises opportunities, and has also led to the fact that those advanced technologies have not been popularized in dye production enterprises.
The starting line of competition among enterprises is inconsistent, which increases the difficulty of environmental supervision.
It is recommended to develop an environmental protection precision law enforcement system and increase law enforcement, further clarify operating rules and standards, and reduce discretion as much as possible; strengthen law enforcement capacity building, continuously improve law enforcement conditions and equipment, and strictly implement the elimination of old production processes; strengthen Intensive investigation of "scattered and polluted" companies, strictly reviewing the consistency of the company's environmental assessment and actual production.
At the same time, it is necessary to increase the cost of corporate environmental violations, strengthen corporate management, and introduce specific measures to encourage corporate technological innovation and strengthen the promotion of new technologies.

Promote the standardization of dye production

Xu Wanfu, General Manager of Zhejiang Runtu Co.
, Ltd.

It is recommended to promote the production standardization of the dye industry.
In 2017, led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China Dyestuff Industry Association and key dyestuff enterprises Zhejiang Longsheng Group Co.
, Ltd.
, Zhejiang Runtu Co.
, Ltd.
, etc.
, began to formulate relevant technical standards for the standardization of the dye industry.
The technical standard is mainly to clarify the technical indicators of the process and pollutant discharge in the dye production process.
After the technical standards are promulgated, relevant local departments can have a more scientific basis in environmental law enforcement.
However, before the completion of the formulation and release of the technical standards, the local environmental protection departments should, in accordance with the actual situation of local regional development and pollutant discharge, strengthen law enforcement in a targeted manner to ensure that the ecological environment is not harmed.

Clarify the timetable for the elimination of backward production capacity

Chen Xiaoyong, Vice President of Jihua Group and Chairman of Jiangsu Jihua Chemical Co.
, Ltd.

The industry access conditions should be clarified.
For newly-encouraged dyestuff projects, the standards to be met by the corresponding products should be clarified; the acceptance and management of environmental protection facilities for dyes and intermediates should be strengthened to prevent enterprises that do not have the ability to deal with environmental protection from illegal production under the temptation of profits.
Unfair competition; promulgation of cleaner production standards for the dye industry, restricting the production scale, energy consumption, and pollution discharge of existing or newly-built dye production enterprises, regularly conducting mandatory audits, establishing a system for eliminating outdated production capacity, and listing them in the national "double high" For the catalog of products and heavily polluting processes, the timetable for the elimination of production capacity must be clearly defined; for companies that meet environmental protection requirements, new industrial chain extension projects are allowed, the scale effect and synergy effect of the industrial chain are brought into play, the optimal allocation of resources is realized, and new technologies and new processes are encouraged The promotion and application of H acid, such as H acid continuous hydrogenation technology.

Unified environmental monitoring standards

Yan Fengchao, General Manager of Chuyuan High-tech Group Co.
, Ltd.

At present, the scale of environmental monitoring varies from place to place, and some still have a certain degree of local protectionism.
In order to create a level playing field, I suggest that, first, strictly follow the national environmental protection laws and regulations, strictly enforce the law, and unify the supervision standards, so that all dye and intermediate companies are under strict supervision, fair competition, and prevention of bad currency expulsion.
Good money.

The second is to formulate unified emission standards.
The dye industry is a small industry.
There is no unified national standard for the emission of "three wastes", and the reference standards vary from place to place.
Some refer to the domestic sewage discharge standard, and some refer to the industrial sewage discharge standard.
Even if the same is the same industrial sewage discharge standard, the reference industrial classification standard is different; even if the discharge is up to the standard, the actual discharge varies greatly.
Cause objective unfairness.

The third is to strengthen the crackdown on illegal production.
In order to avoid environmental supervision, a small number of small enterprises moved their enterprises to deep mountains and old forests or remote places to secretly produce, harming the local ecology.
Environmental protection departments must take the initiative to guard their responsibilities and not give criminals a chance to take advantage of it.

The fourth is to strengthen third-party supervision.
While supervising, the government and environmental protection departments must also give full play to the role of third parties such as the public, the media, and non-governmental organizations to conduct environmental supervision of enterprises and jointly promote the improvement of the environmental protection level of enterprises.
