The four departments of the state investigated the pollution control problem of Huang Jiang processing enterprises. Yu Zhengsheng: Resolving non-compliance within the specified time

Subject matter: The pollution problem of yellow ginger processing companies in the areas bordering Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi is an important hidden danger in the water quality safety of the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The first report was made on June 14, 2003 in the Japanese newspaper. Since then, our reporter has gone to the field for interviews and reports.
The newspaper and some news media have repeatedly reported on the pollution of yellow ginger processing enterprises in the areas bordering Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi, which has attracted the attention of national and local leaders. In October of this year, leaders of the National South-to-North Water Transfer Office, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Environmental Protection Administration, and leaders of relevant departments of Hubei Province, Henan Province, and Shaanxi Province, went to the area to conduct research on the control of Huang Jiang production pollution. From October 30th to November 1st, Yu Zhengsheng, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, conducted investigations and on-site office work on the pollution control of Huangjiang enterprises in Shiyan City. He put forward clear requirements to the Shiyan Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau: “The treatment of polluted turmeric processing companies must meet the emission standards by June 30, 2007, and must not be resolutely shut down to discharge standards. It must not be lenient. ."
On October 24th, the head of the State Party Committee and the Huang Jiang Pollution Control Research Team came to Longxi County, Hubei Province. The county had been supervised by the State Environmental Protection Administration because of the processing of turmeric polluted Hanjiang by Fumin Biochemical Factory. In order to accelerate the economic development of the county and obey the overall situation of serving the middle line project of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the county has adopted various measures to comprehensively manage the ecological environment: it is strictly prohibited to instigate the behavior of seedlings in the woodlands; the approval process for the strict turmeric processing enterprises is strictly Processing companies conduct scientific guidance and rational distribution; encourage enterprises to carry out technological transformation, reduce environmental pollution, and actively support the development of environmentally friendly enterprises; formulate strict environmental standards for compliance, and implement closures for heavily polluting enterprises. At the same time, the county also paid attention to doing a good job in the scientific and technological research and industrial service management of Huang Jiang industry.
The research group visited Huangyang ginger processing companies in Qianxi County, including Chunyang, Yijiang and Tianyu, to inspect on-site processing of diosgenin and comprehensive treatment of wastewater. Yijiang Biochemical Co., Ltd. introduced to the research group the company's comprehensive utilization of yellow ginger processing wastewater for alcohol extraction, treatment of waste water pollution, and a ten-step extraction of saponin new technology, and demonstrated the alcohol extracted from the yellow ginger wastewater. According to reports, the company handles 80,000 to 100,000 tons of highly concentrated turmeric processing wastewater each year, extracts 2,000 tons of alcohol, directly saves 5,000 tons of food, and has an overall economic value of 18 million yuan.
It is understood that the leadership of Hubei Province attaches great importance to the pollution control of Huang Jiang processing enterprises, and has repeatedly instructed them to demand that the problem of yellow ginger processing pollution be solved as soon as possible. Hubei Province also adopted comprehensive measures. On the one hand, the provincial science and technology department has increased the technological research on yellow ginger processing pollution, and a batch of patented technologies for treating yellow ginger processing pollution have been born successively. A number of demonstration projects of yellow ginger processing and cleaner production are under construction and some have been put into production; On the other hand, efforts were made to clear up and rectify and shut down a batch of yellow ginger processing enterprises with small production capacity, backward production processes and serious pollution. Shiyan City ginger processing enterprises from the most time to reduce the number of 78 to the current 29, reduce the ginger planting area of ​​more than 500,000 acres, rejected 16 proposed ginger processing projects.
However, because of various reasons, the treatment of yellow ginger processing pollution has not yet fundamentally solved the problem. Although some processing companies have built sewage treatment facilities, they also played a role, but due to poor supervision, coupled with the company's operating costs, some companies sneaked out at night, some spitting on the rainy days, the pollution still exists. In this regard, Yu Zhengsheng pointed out during the investigation that the environmental protection of Shiyan City has attracted attention from all over the country. The municipal government and the municipal government must put environmental protection issues on the important agenda. Yu Zhengsheng emphasized that the treatment of polluted turmeric processing companies must meet emission standards before June 30, 2007. According to this time limit, the provincial environmental protection bureau must come up with a governance standard before the end of this year.
It is understood that at present, the Hubei Provincial Environmental Protection Agency is working out a plan. The bureau said that it will step up law enforcement and implement Yu Zhengsheng's instructions. At that time, the local government will resolutely close down the enterprises that have failed to meet the deadline. It will not be lenient and will not tolerate it.
