Paper industry wastewater discharge standards are expected to be introduced

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Implementation Plan for the 2013 Industrial Energy Saving and Green Development Special Action Plan. In the 13th year, two special plans for the promotion of motor efficiency and the green development of the lead-related industry were implemented. The goals are: (1) Promotion, elimination, and energy-saving transformation of motors and motor systems 100 million kilowatts, increase the market share of high-efficiency motors, achieve 1% (30 billion kWh) of industrial electricity consumption across the country; (2) Strengthen access management of lead-related industries, increase industry concentration, and increase the proportion of lead recycling recycling to 40% . We believe that: (1) In addition to setting specific targets, the plan also sets progress requirements on a monthly and quarterly basis, and strengthens the support for policies and central financial special projects, highlighting the importance attached. (2) The motor system with huge energy consumption is the focus of the national energy conservation policy. The existing energy efficiency of the motor in our country is generally low, and the development potential of energy-saving motors is huge. (3) We believe that the country's promotion of high-efficiency motors is increasing. In May 2012, the State launched a new version of the “Energy Efficiency Limits and Energy Efficiency Grades for Small and Medium-sized Three-phase Asynchronous Motors (GB18163-2012)” to improve access to energy-efficient motors. In November 2012, the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology simultaneously The introduction of subsidy policies on efficient energy-saving ventilators, pumps, and air compressors will mobilize the purchasing enthusiasm of machinery and equipment manufacturers and further open up the space for energy-efficient motors. It is recommended to pay attention to the acquisition of the new century and energy saving in the energy-saving motor market.

Papermaking industry sewage discharge standards are expected to come out. The Development and Reform Commission released the "Cleaner Production Evaluation Index System for the Pulp and Paper Industry" on March 14 (draft for soliciting opinions). The deadline for soliciting opinions is March 25. We expect the official standards to be released as soon as possible. We believe that: (1) The new version of the “Indicator System” has stricter regulations for the discharge of papermaking enterprises, and it is only two weeks apart from the last time that the Ministry of Industry and Information required the provinces to report the elimination of backward production capacity indicators for 13 years, which shows that the government is controlling pollution. Determination and urgency. (2) Papermaking is a highly polluting and high-consumption industry. In 2010, the wastewater discharge amount and COD (chemical oxygen demand) emission of the paper industry accounted for 18% and 26%, respectively, ranking first among all industries; however, papermaking The industry output value only accounts for 1.49 percent of the country's total industrial output, which is extremely incompatible with its pollution emissions. If the country is determined to rectify the problem of domestic industrial wastewater, the paper industry will undoubtedly be the first target of pollution control. (3) Regardless of the government or the people, there is a high demand for the treatment of water pollution.

Wu Xiaoqing, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection: Promoting environmental monitoring work to a new level. We believe that the analysis of pollution sources and treatment of pollution need to be monitored first. At present, there are few environmental indicators included in the monitoring and evaluation, such as PM2.5 and fire power. We believe that monitoring equipment companies will continue to benefit from China’s monitoring capacity building, but due to limited market space, It is difficult to see explosive growth.
