Environmental protection impact Steel Material and production

We will build the modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, as well as to create more material wealth and spiritual wealth to meet people's increasing need of a better life, also want to provide more high quality ecological products to meet people's increasing needs in beautiful ecological environment. Must adhere to save and protect the preference, and the principle of natural recovery, form the space pattern of resource conservation and environmental protection, industrial structure, mode of production, life style, also is natural with peace, harmony and beauty." On October 18, general secretary xi jinping pointed out in the party's nineteenth report.
It is understood that since January 2016, the central environmental protection inspector has carried out a pilot project in hebei province. Since then, the central environmental protection inspector has completed the full coverage of 31 provinces in China, with more than 17,000 people responsible. Among them, in the fourth batch of central environmental protection supervision as an example, this year on September 5, environmental protection, according to the fourth batch of sinking central environmental protection supervision period end, change around to further strengthen overseers while working. As of September 4, the fourth batch of environmental protection inspectors has investigated 226 cases and detained 285 people. About 2,914 people, 4129 people.
On November 6, the ministry, ministry and state development planning commission, national food drug safety administration jointly issued "on pharmaceutical companies do a good job in beijing-tianjin-hebei and surrounding areas during the heating period of 2017-2018 peak production notice, 28 cities API alternate production enterprises, the involved VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emissions process at all.
Iron and steel enterprises in addition to the need to unswervingly stick to the environmental bottom line, but should also study the influence of the environmental requirements to upgrade to the downstream steel industry, especially in the energy industry, foundry industry, machinery parts and components manufacturing, construction, coal-fired power generating units with the influence of the steel manufacturing industry. This is beneficial to steel enterprises to adjust the product structure in advance and grasp the market trend.
Environmental inspectors have affected many steel industries.
Since early this year, the central strengthening supervision, environmental protection "messy" enterprises and cluster for comprehensive improvement, to have to verify the amount of bedding face is wide "messy" enterprises, in line with the principle of "first stop after cure", difference of classification. All those involved in the elimination of atmospheric pollutants shall be shut down according to law before the end of September 2017.
The environmental storm has also had a huge impact on the downstream steel industry. The beijing-tianjin-hebei and surrounding areas, for example, 2017-2018 action plan for comprehensive control of air pollution in the fall and winter of engines, do a good job in fall and winter of 2017 ~ 2018 air pollution prevention and control work, in front of the heating period of 2017 (November 15, 2017), "2 + 26" city (beijing-tianjin-hebei and surrounding city) to complete 72 units, 3.98 million mw coal-fired units, elimination of coal-fired units in order to realize power solution column or flue physical cut out. At the same time, the plan calls for made solid progress in key areas VOCs control tasks, namely from July 1, 2017, strict enforcement of petrochemical industry emissions standards, promote medicine, pesticides and other chemicals, automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, industrial coating, such as furniture manufacturing, packaging and printing industry such as comprehensive control of VOCs. Before the end of October 2017, the local governments will basically complete the renovation work, and the enterprises that have not completed the reform will be put into production in accordance with the law. In addition, by the end of December 2017, all regions should complete the work of emission permits for copper lead and zinc smelting, electrolytic aluminum, raw material medicine manufacturing, pesticide and other industries.
Again such as jinan government office issued on the implementation of the heating period of industrial enterprise production control measures notice clear, on November 15, 2017-2017, March 15 (heating season), the cement, brick kiln, casting, carbon, medicine, pesticide, eight thermal power, iron and steel industry production measures will be implemented. Which involves: casting industry (excluding electric furnace, gas furnace), in addition to undertake residents heating, collaborative disposal of municipal waste and hazardous waste, such as the task of ensuring people's well-being, heating season all wrong peak production; The thermal power industry, by the end of October, has not produced all of its ultra-low emission standards for coal-fired power generators (including self-contained power plants).
According to the author's interview, most of the steel trade practitioners believe that the closure of some downstream steel enterprises in the environmental protection inspectors will lead to the reduction of steel demand. A steel trade company in Shanghai, for example, the management in the China metallurgical newspaper reporters, recent sales have fallen, one reason is that some auto parts, household appliances manufacturing enterprises by restricting output, production due to environmental problems. Recently a period of time, these enterprises to purchase steel rarely, some manufacturers have no purchasing steel for a long time, especially in yiwu, zhejiang province, taizhou, ningbo, jiaxing, wenzhou and other places of automotive parts, household appliances manufacturers.
A steel trade company general manager to introduce to China metallurgical newspaper reporters, some stone processing such as building materials enterprises were shut down in the environmental remediation, such as the putian stone processing industry pollution treatment plan "clearly put forward, to June 30 this year, let all stone processing enterprise overall exit the city. In some areas, there is less demand for the stone market. In addition, cement, concrete, concrete mixing stations and other enterprises have similar supply constraints. Construction sites in the area have been shut down 80 per cent, and there is a 50 per cent drop in demand for steel. He believes that the decline in sales of building steel has a lot to do with the increasing severity of environmental upgrades.
