The pilot work of the smart chemical park started

　　On September 8, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Department of Raw Materials and the China Petrochemical Federation jointly held the launch meeting for the pilot work of the smart chemical park, marking a new step in the intelligent and informatization construction of the petroleum and chemical industry based on "Internet +".

 
　　Pan Aihua, deputy director of the Department of Raw Materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that now is the best time to carry out the pilot of a smart chemical park.
The chemical park should fully understand the significance of the deep integration of the two industrializations, realize intelligent transformation and upgrade, and improve the park's intrinsic safety and environmental protection level.
The guidelines for promoting the standardized development of chemical parks organized and compiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will be issued soon, which will further clarify and encourage the pilot work of smart chemical parks, and will put forward some specific quantitative indicators for the construction of the park.
The central government has clearly listed the relocation and renovation of hazardous chemical companies in densely populated urban areas as the first priority in measures to stabilize growth and promote investment, and will issue substantive financial support policies.
The relocation and transformation projects of hazardous chemical companies are inseparable from the upgrading and transformation of chemical parks.
The chemical parks must take active actions to seize this historical opportunity to realize intelligent transformation and upgrading.
