New Standard For Pollutant Discharge: China'S Leather Industry Is Facing A New Round Of Shuffle.

< p > the new standard has improved the entry threshold for industries. The implementation of < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_q.asp" > New Standard < /a > will speed up the elimination step of backward production capacity, and urge a group of enterprises that are backward in production equipment, low in technological level, and environmental pollution control facilities are not good and small and weak enterprises withdraw from the market.

It is estimated that about 10% of the leading enterprises (above 200 thousand sheets of cattle hide or more) need to further strengthen environmental management and upgrade some of the links. About 45% of the medium enterprises (above 50 thousand mark sheets and cattle hide) need upgrading and upgrading. Some upgrading enterprises will face the pressure of elimination, and about 45% of the small enterprises will be eliminated.

< p > reporter Liu Xu reported that the "discharge standard of pollutants for leather and fur processing industry" (GB30486-2013) will be formally implemented in March 1, 2014.

The introduction of this standard will definitely play a positive role in promoting the level of environmental protection in China's leather industry, and accelerate the pformation and upgrading of the industry by strictly controlling the standards.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that in order to implement the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China environmental protection law, the law of the People's Republic of China on the prevention and control of water pollution and the law of the People's Republic of China on marine environmental protection, protect the environment, prevent and control pollution, and promote the progress of production technology and pollution control technology of tanning and fur processing enterprises, the Ministry of environmental protection issued the tannery and < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp" > fur > /a > the discharge standard of pollutants for processing industry for the first time.

< /p >

< p > this standard specifies the discharge limits, monitoring and monitoring requirements of water pollutants in tanning and fur processing enterprises, and specifies the special discharge limits for water pollutants in key areas.

The air pollutants (including odorous pollutants) and environmental noise emitted by tanning and fur processing enterprises shall be applicable to corresponding national pollutant discharge standards, and the identification, treatment and disposal of solid wastes shall be applicable to the national solid waste pollution control standards.

< /p >

< p > China has the largest scale of leather production in the world, and the problems such as large volume of sewage discharge, complex sewage components, uneven level of pollution control and low promotion of cleaner production in the industry are prominent problems.

At present, China's tanning industry produces 1.6 million tons of waste water annually, of which COD is about 404 thousand tons, ammonia nitrogen is 16 thousand tons, and total chromium is 1280 tons. The current comprehensive emission standards are relaxed, the threshold for entry is low, and the pertinence is not strong.

The water pollutants emission standard for tanning and fur processing industry (GB30486-2013) has clearly defined the indicators of total pollutants such as total nitrogen and chloride ions and so on, and has tightened the discharge limits and the benchmark discharge quota according to the development of water pollutants treatment technology in the industry.

< /p >

< p > the new standard is fully implemented. It is estimated that China's < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > leather industry < /a > annual COD and ammonia emissions can be reduced to 11800 tons and 2380 tons respectively, with a reduction rate of 57.2% and 67.4% respectively. At the same time, the industrial structure should be optimized, so that a batch of enterprises with backward production equipment, low technology level, and imperfect environmental pollution control facilities and small and weak enterprises will be eliminated.
