How to tap the potential of resources and "eat and squeeze out" raw materials? How to turn waste into treasure and realize resource recycling?
Up to now, Asia Symbol has invested more than 7 billion yuan in environmental protection, and has become a benchmark enterprise for industrial upgrading, technological progress and green development in the pulp and paper industry, the world's first pulp and paper enterprise that reuses urban reclaimed water, and the world's first pulp and paper enterprise to launch a dual-power backup combustion system for odor and odor, and has been rated as a "national green factory"
How to tap the potential of resources and "eat and squeeze out" raw materials has been thinking and exploring Asia Symbol for many years.
Recently, in the Asia Symbol pulping production line, the alkali furnace operator introduced that the high-pressure steam generated by the alkali furnace is directly delivered to the steam turbine generator, and finally converted into the medium and low pressure steam and electrical energy required by the plant, which can produce a large amount of medium pressure steam and low pressure steam every day, and generate electric energy at the same time."The burning of black liquor in the alkali furnace not only avoids the environmental pollution caused by the discharge of black liquor, but also turns black liquor into treasure, provides electricity and heat energy for the factory, and realizes resource recycling. Said the boiler operator.
Asia Symbol adheres to the "3R" principle of circular economy, and makes full use of biomass waste such as black liquor and wood chips generated in the production process to generate steam and power generation, and the vast majority of the plant's energy in 2023 will come from these wastes.Similarly, Asia Symbol's distributed photovoltaic power plant is another major achievement of the company in low-carbon development.
The distributed photovoltaic project makes full use of the roof area of the existing 9 workshops, and after the project is connected to the grid for power generation, it can provide enterprises with an average of about 5.6 million kWh of green electricity per year, and all of them can be consumed independently, which can effectively reduce the electricity cost of enterprises. Compared with coal-fired power with the same power generation, the project can save about 1,690 tons of standard coal, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4,637 tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by about 0.57 tons, nitrogen oxide emissions by about 0.85 tons, and soot emissions by about 0.123 tons per year after being put into operation, which has a very significant environmental protection effect.
While achieving its own good development, the company also attaches great importance to cooperating with the local area, the industry and the entire value chain to jointly achieve green, low-carbon and high-quality development, creating the first white cardboard zero-carbon product in China, and innovatively implementing the in-depth flue gas treatment and waste heat heating integration project, which can meet the heating needs of 6 million square meters of urban residents in Rizhao Economic and Technological Development Zone, and reduce regional carbon emissions by 382,500 tons per year.
In recent years, Asia Symbol has actively fulfilled its social responsibilities and devoted itself to various ecological civilization publicity and education activities and various environmental protection undertakings. Through the "please come in" method, the company took the initiative to open the factory, combined environmental protection education, industry characteristics, and popular science research, set up a special environmental protection science exhibition hall, research route, established a team of volunteer docents, and invited all walks of life to visit the company. At present, the company has been a social practice base for hundreds of universities, middle schools and primary schools, receiving tens of thousands of visits every year, and has become a provincial environmental education base, a provincial top ten environmental protection facilities open unit, a provincial popular science education base, and a provincial industrial tourism demonstration site.In addition, Asia Symbol also adheres to the principle of "going global" and cooperates with all sectors of society to carry out various environmental protection education activities. Up to now, the activity has been carried out for 12 years, with a total of 148 sessions, and has entered more than 30 schools, benefiting more than 10,000 teenagers. For 16 consecutive years, the city's children's environmental protection painting contest has been held, benefiting more than 500,000 children directly, and has become the city's longest-lasting, widest-reaching, and most participatory-based environmental protection public welfare activities.
"Under the guidance of the sustainable development goals, with the help and support of the ecological environment department, the company's environmental protection level is improving day by day, and up to now, the environmental protection investment has exceeded 7 billion yuan, becoming a benchmark enterprise for industrial upgrading, technological progress and green development in the pulp and paper industry. The company is also the world's first pulp and paper enterprise to reuse urban reclaimed water, and the world's first pulp and paper enterprise to launch a dual-power backup combustion system for odor gas, and has been rated as a 'national green factory'. Chen Dong, senior manager of safety and environmental protection at Asia Symbol, said.
The more you give, the more you have, under the guidance of the national "double carbon" goal and the sustainable development goals of the enterprise. Today, Asia Symbol is actively innovating in terms of new materials, new energy, new equipment, new processes and new technologies, and taking multiple measures to promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of enterprises and the city.
