Pollution woes inspire high-tech solutions
2019-09-04 Author: Source:www.chinadaily.com.cn Views:1096
The steel and petrochemical industries have long been seen as major contributors to heavy pollution. However, some companies are starting to green their operations with smart manufacturing and innovative technologies.
Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron and Steel is a good example. The plant, located on Donghai Island, 40 kilometers from downtown Zhanjiang in South China's Guangdong province, has made a massive investment to make the steel plant environmentally friendly. Nearly 5 billion yuan ($698 million) of the 50 billion yuan invested in building the coastal plant was allocated for environmental protection - the largest amount by a domestic iron and steel manufacturer.
It is China's first modernized iron and steel enterprise to comply with the ultralow emission standards set by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. High-tech solutions have been used to reduce harmful gases, while waste water is recycled to protect the environment.
The plant began operation in 2015 and it produced 8.39 million metric tons of molten iron and 8.62 million tons of commercial billets, which brought 39.06 billion yuan in revenue in 2018. Its net profit hit 4.21 billion yuan.
"Baosteel Zhanjiang is positioned to become the world's most efficient green production base for carbon steel," said Sheng Genghong, vice-president of Baosteel and head of the Zhanjiang project.
Carbon steel, which is thin and strong, is a profitable part of the steel business used to supply automakers and home appliance manufacturers.
