Aiming at VOCs to reduce emissions accurately, Beijing set up 100 million yuan of special funds for environmental protection

While other districts in Beijing are carrying out rural bulk coal control, urban-rural joint pollution control and high-emission motor vehicle pollution control, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as the Development Zone) has made volatile organic matter (VOCs) control the focus of air pollution prevention and control, and achieved positive results.
2013, the development zone VOCs have reduced emissions by 2,042 tons, or 44%, and are expected to meet the city government's target of reducing emissions by 50% by the end of 2017 ahead of schedule by the end of this year.
voCs

VOCs, which emit 80% of the emissions of 20 or 30 enterprises, are important prescbodies for the generation of ozone and PM2.5, and are also the key contents of air pollution prevention and control. According to the Beijing Clean Air Action Plan 2013-2017, the concentration of PM2.5 in the development zone will drop to 65 micrograms per cubic meter by the end of 2017.
Unlike other districts in Beijing, the development zone is mainly enterprise-oriented, and as early as 2008 no longer use coal, in order to achieve the established air pollution control objectives, we must target VOCs emission reduction this difficult "hard bone."
In recent years, the development zone in accordance with the principle of high-end, high efficiency, high radiation, low energy consumption, low emissions, strictly locked into the park enterprises, through the implementation of the Beijing ban on the catalog, so that in line with the capital's functional positioning of the "high-tip" project smoothly into the zone. At the same time actively eliminate backward production capacity, and continue to promote industrial upgrading in the development zone. Since 2013, nokia, Sanyo, Three Arrows, Zhongding and other manufacturing industries have completed capacity transfer and land recovery, 15 VOCs-related enterprises closed down, exit.
" at present, the development zone has more than 500 production enterprises, including 142 VOCs-related enterprises, mainly concentrated in machinery and electronics, printing, automotive manufacturing, industrial coating and other industries. According to 2013 estimates, the zone's annual VOCs emissions are 4,650 tons. Of these 142 companies, 20 or 30 account for about 80% of total emissions from VOCs, which are relatively large. Hu Zhishan, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Development Zone, said.
Based on this, the development zone quickly established a "big and small" governance ideas, the FOCUS of VOCs governance on the industry emissions, environmental benefits of fast-impact enterprises, to play the demonstration effect of such enterprises, driving the industry's deep emission reduction. "Companies with big emissions have changed, and other smaller companies in the industry know what to do." Ho Chi Shan said.
Amco Soft Packaging (Beijing) Co., Ltd. is the largest emitter of the printing industry in the development zone, before the implementation of environmental protection technology reform, the company's annual VOCs emissions are 1015 tons, accounting for almost a quarter of the total emissions of the development zone. With the tightening of VOCs governance policies in Beijing and the Development Zone, the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Development Zone has targeted the big emitters.
" that year we are basically every day to their factory report, with the factory repeated communication and coordination, and finally determined the phased transformation program. "Speaking of the details, the District Environmental Protection Agency's atmospheric office Wang Ma is still fresh in his memory.
transformation project officially began in April 2014, using concentrated, activated carbon adsorption, nitrogen desorption cycle to treat the discharge of VOCs exhaust gas. Completed in March 2015 with a total investment of 12 million yuan. According to factory personnel, the current stable operation of the facility, can reduce VOCs emissions of more than 700 tons per year.
in the automotive industry, Beijing Mercedes-Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. is undoubtedly one of the giants. Although the company completed most of the production process early environmental protection technology, but two of the coating production lines in the cover varnish link, will still use a small amount of oily paint, annual emissions of VOCs 260 tons.
in the second half of 2015, Beijing Mercedes-Benz began to retrofit the exhaust system for the body covering varnish and added a new VOCs treatment facility to reduce VOCs emissions from the use of oily coatings using zeolite wheel enrichment systems. The project will be completed and put into operation by the end of this year, with a total investment of 26 million yuan, reducing VOCs emissions by 170 tons per year.
Fund support
using government money to help enterprises improve their technology
According to Ho Chishan, the development zone was approved as a national eco-industrial demonstration park in 2011, coupled with many enterprises are Sino-foreign joint ventures or foreign-owned listed enterprises, the environmental awareness of enterprises is relatively strong. This is not only the advantages of the air pollution control work in the development zone, but also brings a big challenge to the environmental protection work - how to guide enterprises to further reduce emissions in depth on the basis of meeting the emission standards.
"VOCs emission reduction management facilities of large capital investment, if the government does not provide financial support, the enthusiasm of enterprises to reduce emissions will not be so high, but also will bring some pressure to the operation of enterprises. Ho Chi Shan said.
2014, on the basis of financial subsidies for environmental protection technology reform at the municipal level, the Development Zone issued the Measures for the Administration of Special Funds for Environmental Protection in the New Area, and set up a special fund of 100 million yuan to provide financial subsidies and incentives for environmental protection and pollution reduction projects.
Nolant Mobile Communications Accessories (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Nolant Co., Ltd.), located in the Longsheng Industrial Park of the Development Zone, is a Swedish-owned enterprise mainly engaged in the manufacture and production of mobile phone plastic casings and accessories, the spraying process in the production process will produce a large number of VOCs exhaust gas.
2013, the EPA received complaints from a nearby company about a pungent paint spill at Nolante. However, law enforcement officials checked and found that the company's VOCs emissions were fully up to standard by the standards of the time. Why can you still smell pungent paint when you meet the standards? That's because the company's VOCs approach is low-cost and relatively simple, but not very effective.
" Nolant's headquarters in Sweden is a large listed company, the company itself also has a very perfect environmental culture, we gave them an analysis of the Beijing VOCs governance standards will gradually strengthen the trend, but also hope that they as a listed company can assume the corresponding social responsibility, for the health of the public and the urban environment, voCs processing facilities to carry out technical transformation. Wang said.
the end of 2013, Nolante began a technical transformation of the VOCs treatment facility, using zeolite wheel concentrate and heat storage combustion furnace combustion method to end the VOCs. After the transformation, Nolant's annual VOCs emissions were reduced from 262 tons to more than 40 tons.
" before and after the renovation project spent a total of 12 million yuan, the city financial assistance of 2 million yuan, the district financial assistance of 2.167 million yuan. Corporate profits have been falling over the years because of market changes, and such a large amount of spending is still very stressful for us. The government's subsidy of funds shared some of the pressure on us in time. "Nolant's head of plant, Li Xu, said." Although the investment is large, it cannot be measured by money if the damage to the corporate image is caused by environmental problems. In the long run, we still make money because we have established a socially responsible corporate image. It
understood that since the establishment of the special fund for environmental protection of the development zone, a total of 69 projects to support environmental protection and technological reform, support funds of 72.216 million yuan, leading enterprises to invest 373 million yuan. Among them, driving VOCs to reduce emissions by 498.1 tons.
If the establishment of billion yuan of special funds for environmental protection is directly to the enterprise "red envelope", then the use of VOCs differential charging method to reduce sewage charges, is secretly to the enterprise "injection of capital."
October 1, 2015, Beijing began to impose volatile organic sewage charges on 17 industries in five major industries, including furniture manufacturing, packaging and printing, petrochemicals, automobile manufacturing and electronics. At the same time, the implementation of differentiated collection policy, for environmental protection "leaders" halved the charges.
Zhao Qingge, a technician at Beijing Hualian Printing Co., Ltd., said: The company's flat workshop before the treatment, a year VOCs emissions of more than 70 tons, need to pay more than 1.4 million yuan; Depreciation charges for one year of equipment are 400,000 yuan, electricity costs of 500,000 yuan, activated carbon 102,000 yuan, offset by two phases, the balance and expenditure are basically flat. "It's about using government money to help companies improve their processes and become more competitive."
Strengthen supervision
constantly adapt to the new demands of the masses
Zhao is a law enforcement official of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Development Zone, due to the establishment of restrictions, he and three other colleagues are responsible for the region's more than 800 enterprises and sources of life inspection and law enforcement and daily letters and visits.
law enforcement personnel, heavy workload how to do? Zhaothey accumulated over time, groping out "one look, two tests, three questions" comprehensive inspection of the "one-door secret." "Look" is mainly to see the operation of governance facilities, pharmaceutical use records, dangerous waste transfer orders, online monitoring data, etc. , "testing" is mainly to measure furnace temperature, measure online data, entrust third-party agencies to detect, etc. , "ask" mainly through understanding the daily production of enterprises, environmental protection facilities, daily management, combined with the "look" results, comprehensive judgment of whether the work of enterprises in place.
" because of the VOCs-related enterprises more complex process, governance methods are different, the professional literacy requirements of law enforcement personnel are also higher. "Compared with previous law enforcement inspections, Zhaothe workload is getting bigger and bigger.
been engaged in front-line environmental law enforcement for so many years, Zhaosaid the biggest feeling is that the people's concern for environmental issues and environmental quality requirements are getting higher and higher. "We should not only practice 'fire eyes' to detect illegal activities in enterprises, but also constantly adapt to the new demands of the masses to improve working methods, improve working standards, in order to improve the regional environment to protect."
, the District Environmental Protection Bureau received a letter and complaint, a printing company in a sudden environmental incident. Zhaocolleagues rushed to the scene, did not expect a car was surrounded by the people near the factory. Zhaocolleagues first patiently calmed the crowd, evacuated onlookers, and then immediately carried out on-site inspection.
site survey found that due to the enterprise turbine oven work abnormally, resulting in the smell of ink permeated the entire workshop and plant. As soon as the problem was discovered, the staff immediately asked the company to shut down the production line and replace the oven.
After the incident, in Zhao and colleagues of the repeated coordination and communication, the printing plant has carried out centralized ink supply, printing workshop exhaust gas collection, turbine emissions end control and other projects of technical reform, the cumulative can reduce VOCs more than 40 tons.
it is understood that since this year, the development zone environmental law enforcement personnel for the development zone auto repair, printing, catering and other industries, has carried out VOCs special law enforcement inspection and other 300 (times), punishment of 10 enterprises, a fine of 190,000 yuan.
