Autumn and winter air pollution control battle, a number of pharmaceutical companies will be shut down or limited production!

[pharmaceutical network industry trends] with the coming of autumn and winter 2019, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas will face a new round of air pollution control battle Recently, the Ministry of ecological environment, the national development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the action plan for comprehensive air pollution control in autumn and winter 2019-2020 in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas (hereinafter referred to as the plan), which clarified the tasks and key points of air pollution control in the region in the next six months The atmospheric environment situation in autumn and winter this year is still severe According to the plan, the atmospheric environment situation in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas is still severe in autumn and winter At the same time, it is predicted that due to the influence of El Nino, the overall deviation of meteorological conditions in autumn and winter 2019-2020 is not conducive to the diffusion of air pollutants Greater efforts and more practical measures are required to offset the negative impact of adverse meteorological conditions According to the main objectives, the average concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas in autumn and winter (October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020) decreased by 4% year-on-year, and the number of severe and above pollution days decreased by 6% year-on-year In the detailed decomposition of 2019 tasks, it is mentioned that the main equipment corresponding to the eliminated production capacity should be defined to ensure that the target is achieved on time At the same time, it is emphasized that in accordance with the principle of "eliminating one batch, replacing one batch, and governing one batch", all regions should comprehensively improve the overall development level of relevant industries, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and substandard industrial furnaces, and implement clean and low-carbon fuel substitution By the end of December 2019, fuel gas generators with furnace diameter less than 3m will be basically eliminated This also means that substandard industrial furnaces and other equipment will be eliminated, which is conducive to encouraging the acceleration of research and development and use of new environmental protection equipment, and helping the industry to further win the blue sky defense war Implementation of differentiated emergency management, such pharmaceutical enterprises will be shut down or limited production The difference between this year's solution and last year's solution is that differentiated emergency management will be implemented That is to say, "enterprises with high level of environmental protection performance may not take emission reduction measures during the emergency period of heavily polluted weather by implementing classified and classified management and control." In principle, the production process, pollution control level and emission intensity of class A enterprises shall reach the national leading level, and no emission reduction measures may be taken during the period of heavy pollution; class B enterprises shall reach the provincial benchmark level and take appropriate emission reduction measures In addition, enterprises that cannot stably discharge all kinds of pollutants up to the standard, fail to meet the requirements of emission permit management, or fail to complete the task of comprehensive treatment of air pollution in autumn and winter on schedule shall not be included in the scope of performance classification, and shall take measures to stop production or strictly limit production at the level of production line Since 2017, pharmaceutical enterprises, as heavy pollution users, have been continuously affected by the environmental storm Among them, API is a subdivided field which is greatly impacted by environmental protection policies in the field of medicine Under the influence of policies and measures such as environmental protection tax and environmental protection supervision, a large number of small and medium-sized API enterprises shut down or closed down due to unqualified environmental protection indicators Some insiders pointed out that with the increase of environmental protection, at least 70% of small enterprises in API market will be eliminated Data shows that as of the end of June 2017, 176000 "scattered pollution" enterprises have been found in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei by environmental supervision According to the requirements of the Ministry of environmental protection, all enterprises that are unable to upgrade and transform to meet the emission standards will be closed before the end of September It can be seen that next, no matter the rectification or relocation, pharmaceutical companies will face equipment costs, technical barriers, etc In this continuous environment-friendly and high-pressure situation, pharmaceutical enterprises are transforming into preparations or new ways out.
