In order to further strengthen the prevention and control of VOCs pollution, Shandong Province recently issued the "13th Five Year Plan for the Prevention and Control of Volatile Organic Compound Pollution in Shandong Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which requires the province to focus on key industries and key pollutants for governance, increase efforts to adjust industrial structure, accelerate the implementation of VOCs pollution prevention and control from industrial sources, transportation sources, living sources, agriculture and rural sources, promote the continuous improvement of environmental air quality and the green development of industries.
In recent years, Shandong Province has continuously strengthened the comprehensive rectification of VOCs in key industrial industries, introduced a series of policy measures and emission standards, incorporated VOCs governance into the action plan for tackling prominent environmental problems, urged enterprises to improve pollution prevention and control facilities, shut down more than 84000 "scattered pollution" enterprises, and continuously improved the environmental quality of the province.
Strengthen the rectification of key industries and establish a long-term mechanism for VOCs pollution prevention and control
In the past, the air in the village had a strange smell, and we dared not open the windows. Now that the smell is gone, we can rest assured to open the windows for ventilation, "said villager Bian Lili to reporters in Xinli Village, Zhutai Town, Linzi District, Zibo City, Shandong Province.
It is understood that Linzi District, as an important national petrochemical base, has numerous chemical enterprises. To effectively solve the problem of VOCs pollution in chemical enterprises, the Linzi District Environmental Protection Bureau has introduced LDAR technology through the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences to carry out treatment of chemical enterprises in the district. This is a microcosm of the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Shandong Province.
To further comprehensively reduce VOCs emissions, the "Plan" proposes to promote the implementation of VOCs and NOx coordinated emission reduction, point source and non-point source coordinated emission reduction, organized and unorganized coordinated emission reduction, highlight key industries and key pollutant treatment, implement fixed pollution source discharge permits, and establish a long-term mechanism for VOCs pollution prevention and control.
In response to the actual situation of key industries, each city will focus on promoting the prevention and control of VOCs pollution in key industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, packaging and printing, as well as transportation sources such as motor vehicles and oil storage and sales. Based on the characteristics of its own industrial structure and in combination with the screened key emission industries, a batch of key projects will be implemented.
In order to tackle the tough nut of VOCs, many enterprises in Shandong Province have introduced equipment and purchased technology. A person in charge of a company in Shandong province stated in an interview with reporters that the company has built one set of organic waste gas composite treatment facilities in each of its five spray production workshops. The paint mist and slag are effectively separated through catalytic oxidation spray towers, and the separated waste gas is then effectively treated through photocatalytic oxidation and activated carbon adsorption.
In addition, the "Plan" proposes to establish a sound VOCs prevention and control management system, based on relevant national emission standards and combined with the characteristics of the province's industries, to accelerate the formulation of volatile organic compound emission standards. Build a monitoring and surveillance system, strengthen automatic monitoring of environmental quality and pollution source emissions, and comprehensively enhance regulatory capabilities.
Strengthen departmental collaboration and gradually achieve a diversified governance pattern
The reporter learned that the "Plan" is jointly organized and implemented by the Shandong Provincial Environmental Protection Department, Development and Reform Commission, Finance Department, Transportation Department, Agriculture Department, to strengthen linkage, close cooperation, and timely coordination to solve difficulties and problems that arise during the promotion process.
In order to fully implement the "Party and Government Shared Responsibility" and "Dual Responsibility of One Position", each city strengthens organizational leadership, determines scientific and effective emission reduction measures and supporting policies; Clarify the division of responsibilities, strengthen departmental collaboration, decompose tasks effectively, and ensure that all policy measures are implemented effectively.
Enterprises should also fulfill their main responsibility for pollution control, ensure the timely completion and stable operation of pollution control projects, enhance the ecological civilization awareness of social organizations, and gradually achieve a pattern of diversified governance between enterprises and the public, "said a person in charge of the Shandong Provincial Environmental Protection Department.
According to the requirements of the Plan, Shandong Province will determine the emission composition spectrum of key pollution sources and identify key pollutants and industries based on the national VOCs priority control pollutant list. Develop, demonstrate, and promote advanced technologies for pollution prevention and control, as well as monitoring and surveillance. Fully utilize research results such as the VOCs exemption list and emission reduction cost-benefit assessment issued by the state to guide pollution prevention and control related work.
In order to strengthen tracking and effectiveness, Shandong Province will include the formulation and implementation of VOCs pollution reduction policies and measures, progress of key engineering projects, environmental supervision and inspection, and disclosure of enterprise environmental information in the "Shandong Province 2013-2010 Air Pollution Prevention and Control Plan Phase III Action Plan (2018-2020)" and the assessment of air pollution prevention and control in each city. The completion status will be regularly scheduled and announced.
