After five years of hard work, Tianjin Petrochemical passed inspections by the Tianjin Economic and Information Technology Committee’s clean production company evaluation panel on Dec 21, 2012. The panel concluded that the company has met standards in energy conservation, consumption and emission reduction. The company has been qualified as a clean production company.
Tianjin Petrochemical began preparations to become a clean production company in 2007. It strictly followed national requirements in clean production and invested in 13 big emission and consumption reduction projects over the past five years with the help of evaluation institutions. It built a 500,000-ton-per-year electro-desalting, coal-fired boiler desulfurization and dusting system, an online monitoring system for the COD of wastewater, a channel that led wastewater to the municipal water treatment plant, and an inner floating roof for the gasoline storage tank. The work greatly brought down pollutants and met national clean production standards. The renovations have also helped bring down the company’s comprehensive energy consumption and increase comprehensive income.
The evaluation panel announced the results of the evaluation and gave Tianjin Petrochemical the Clean Production Company award.
