Conch Cement: Green development brings good appearance

Walking into Quanjiao Conch Cement Co., Ltd., a garden-style cement enterprise is eye-catching. “We are the first in the city’s cement industry to use the SCR denitrification system project. After continuous improvement and upgrading, the total amount of nitrogen oxide emissions has been reduced, and the company has achieved green development.” Xiao Liang, assistant to the director of Quanjiao Conch, said.

“The factory used to be a ‘hard nut to crack’ for environmental protection, but now it is a new bright spot in development.” Wu Chen, head of the pollution prevention section of the Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Bureau, said. In recent years, Conch Cement has adhered to the concept of green development, increased environmental protection investment and process improvement, and the investment in air pollution prevention and control projects has shown results. Now it has become one of the representative enterprises for improving air quality in the county.

“In recent years, I really feel that the environment has improved, there are more blue skies, and the air is getting fresher and fresher!” Mr. Han, who lives in Xianghe Town, Quanjiao County, likes running. He runs 5 kilometers along the bank of Xianghe River every morning. In his eyes, the changes in the county in recent years, in addition to the increase in parks and green spaces and the cleanliness of the city, the biggest feeling is that the ecological environment of the county is getting better and better.

This is inseparable from the county’s investment of real money to protect the ecological environment. It is reported that the county has invested 3.36 million yuan in the urban area to build an air quality grid monitoring and control system, and deployed 45 sets of micro stations. It has implemented a “one-net fishing” system for urban areas, development zone enterprises, construction sites, important roads, catering clusters and other places, and carried out comprehensive monitoring and real-time monitoring. Data is uploaded in real time, and analysis and monitoring are done well. Problems are regularly reported and solved in a timely manner.

The county continues to strengthen the combination of normalized control and increased law enforcement inspections, focusing on increasing the control of air-related enterprises, construction dust pollution, catering fume and other industries, highlighting the governance of key enterprises, key industries and key areas, requiring all construction sites to achieve “six hundred percent” construction dust, irregularly carry out oil and gas recovery inspections at gas stations, and prevent cars from spraying paint outdoors, etc., and severely control pollution behaviors that affect the “temperament” of the city.

“Only by tackling the ‘hard bones’ of environmental pollution can we gain a beautiful city. We will continue to adhere to measures such as refined dust control and standardized management of restaurant fumes, and have a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for illegal discharge of pollutants to ensure blue skies and clean waters and continuously improve the quality of people’s living environment.” said Dou Ping, director of the Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Bureau.
