    [ Market analysis of chemical machinery equipment network ] In recent years, the promulgation and implementation of a series of new policies are ushering in tremendous changes in China's pharmaceutical industry.
    However, it is worth noting that at the same time, energy conservation and environmental protection are becoming increasingly important issues that urgently need to be resolved in the sustainable development of the pharmaceutical industry.
    It is reported that the pharmaceutical industry is a highly polluting industry.
    Data shows that the total output value of my country's pharmaceutical industry only accounts for about 3% of the national GDP, but the total pollution discharge has reached 6%.
    In this context, news that pharmaceutical companies have been severely punished due to environmental protection issues continue to spread in the industry.

    For example, on January 18, 2020, the Eco-Environmental Branch of Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone commissioned a testing company to sample and test the sewage discharged from the main sewage outlet of a pharmaceutical company.
    The results showed that the total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus concentrations of water pollutants discharged from the total sewage discharge outlet of the plant exceeded the standard.
    According to relevant laws and regulations, the branch ordered the unit to correct the illegal behavior and imposed a fine of 300,000 yuan.
    On March 10, the Shifang Ecological Environment Bureau also issued an administrative penalty decision against a pharmaceutical company that directly discharged sewage into a river, and imposed a fine of 313,750 yuan.

    Under the environmental storm, pharmaceutical companies began to actively take governance and preventive measures
     
    Under the environmental storm, pharmaceutical companies began to actively take governance and preventive measures
    In order to promote the "green" development of the pharmaceutical industry, my country has issued a series of policy documents.
    Among them, the "Environmental Protection Tax Law" was officially implemented as early as January 1, 2018.
    At present, after the implementation of a series of new regulations, it can be clearly found that in recent years, pharmaceutical companies have paid more and more attention to environmental protection and pollution prevention, and have begun to strictly follow the requirements to adopt measures such as waste water, waste gas, and waste generated in the pharmaceutical process.
    Effective governance and preventive measures.

     

      For example, Xinhua Pharmaceutical has already invested more than 20 million yuan to build a solid waste incineration energy project by itself.
    It is understood that the project is divided into processes such as feeding, secondary incineration, waste heat utilization, quenching and neutralization, and multi-stage dust removal.
    The equipment has a high degree of automation, and the treated flue gas fully meets the relevant national emission standards.
    The highlight of the project is that the two sets of incineration systems are respectively equipped with 4 tons and 2 tons of waste heat boilers, which can generate 6 tons of steam after normal production.
    While realizing the reuse of waste heat in the solid waste incineration process, it also Can bring certain economic benefits to the enterprise.  

      In addition, Northeast Pharmaceutical has also used intelligent systems early in recent years to effectively manage the use of energy resources, and insisted on embarking on the road of green and high-quality development.
    It is reported that in the overall relocation, it has invested a total of 1 billion yuan in the construction of environmental protection projects, and the application of a number of environmental protection technologies and the construction of environmental protection devices have been at the forefront of the industry.

    What can pharmaceutical companies do to promote the "green" development of the pharmaceutical industry
      It is worth noting that in addition to directly building environmental protection treatment systems, pharmaceutical companies are also rectifying from multiple breakthroughs.
    Among them, pharmaceutical equipment, which is a key part of the pharmaceutical field, has become an important choice for more and more pharmaceutical companies.
    Those pharmaceutical companies that want to achieve green and high-quality development are increasingly paying more and more attention to whether the equipment in the pharmaceutical process is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
    Affected by this, many domestic pharmaceutical equipment companies have begun to pay close attention to environmental protection, improve equipment, and improve research and development.
    It is understood that many companies have achieved a lot of results.  

      For example, a company has developed a new combined multi-effect distilled water machine that can provide sterile pharmaceuticals, injections, large infusions, and biopharmaceuticals for the pharmaceutical industry.
    It is reported that this equipment can operate continuously for 240 days, saving 65% comprehensive energy in terms of water saving, industrial steam saving, and reduction of enterprise sewage pressure.
    In addition, the technology used by the machine can save 21 million tons of standard coal and 340 million tons of drinking water every year.  

      In addition, some companies have put forward a “4+7” centralized water supply overall solution for the needs of centralized procurement of pharmaceutical companies.
    The program adopts a completely modular design and has made in-depth energy planning implants.
    Among them, the overall recovery rate of the purified water system can reach 92%, and the overall energy consumption is only 50% of the traditional multi-effect distilled water machine.
    It is also equipped with a waste heat recovery module and a concentrated water recovery module, which can better realize the recycling of energy.  

      Concluding remarks
     
    Concluding remarks
      In general, the pharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but the pharmaceutical wastewater and waste gas produced at the same time have also become serious pollution sources.
    Under the pressure of environmental protection, pharmaceutical companies need diversified methods to control pollution, and under this demand, pharmaceutical companies are expected to usher in more development opportunities.
    However, it is worth noting that in the actual application process, there are still a few pharmaceutical equipment that can truly achieve environmentally friendly production and "zero pollution" emissions, and "poor equipment stability" and "short life" are problems for most pharmaceutical equipment.
    Therefore, the author believes that pharmaceutical equipment companies still need to combine the actual needs of pharmaceutical companies in many aspects, through policy guidance and incentive support, to strengthen product updates and improvements, and to participate in environmental protection upgrades with pharmaceutical companies and related departments.
    Go in continuous action.
