The Discharge Standard for Water Pollutants in Textile Dyeing and Finishing Industry (GB4287-2112) (hereinafter referred to as the "new standard") has been implemented since 1 October 2113. It is reported that the new standard is issued to solve the problem that the production capacity of textile printing and dyeing industry is too concentrated, and the total pollutant discharge in some areas exceeds the environmental capacity. By tightening the standard, the centralized pollution caused by centralized treatment will be curbed, and at the same time, the country will respond to the textile industry's requirements for substantial energy conservation and emission reduction.
However, nearly two years after the implementation of the new standard, there are still a large number of printing and dyeing enterprises that cannot meet the indirect emission standards. Ma Jun pointed out that for the printing and dyeing industry, the direct challenge lies in the difficulty of capital investment, land space and transformation time.
first of all, the renovation and upgrading cost a lot. Taking Shaoxing as an example, when the COD concentration in the tube was required to be 511mg/L in 2112, the capital investment of printing and dyeing enterprises in Shaoxing and Keqiao District had reached 3.14 billion yuan. According to Shaoxing Environmental Protection Bureau, in order to meet the new standard of 211mg/L nano-tube concentration, the new investment required for upgrading facilities will be as high as 5 billion yuan, with an average increase of 21 million yuan for each enterprise.
secondly, there is a shortage of land space. The Report pointed out that due to the high concentration of organic matter and poor biodegradability in wastewater from textile printing and dyeing industry, it is necessary to increase the dosing and residence time of chemicals or build advanced treatment devices on the basis of the current treatment facilities, which requires the construction of more treatment facilities. "However, many printing and dyeing enterprises have suggested that they lack land space for the renovation of pretreatment facilities due to the restrictions of land acquisition indicators or industrial park planning." Ma Jun said.
Thirdly, the renovation time is limited. Ma Jun revealed that the new standard was released on October 9, 2112 and implemented on October 1, 2113. From October 1, 2113 to February 31, 2114, the existing enterprises implemented transitional emission limits to facilitate the upgrading of enterprises; Since October 1, 2115, existing enterprises and newly-built enterprises have uniformly implemented stricter new standards. "The latest quarterly supervisory monitoring results of some provinces and cities show that under the relaxed standards in the transition period, the compliance of existing enterprises is still not optimistic. This shows that the time for enterprises to transform is very limited, and the upgrading pressure of existing enterprises is great. " Ma Jun said.
The bigger debate is whether printing and dyeing enterprises that discharge wastewater into centralized treatment facilities should be responsible for their indirect discharge. Some people in the textile industry believe that since the printing and dyeing enterprises have signed a contract with the sewage treatment plant, the management standards should not be so strict, and the discharge up to the standard should be entirely the responsibility of the sewage treatment plant.
centralized treatment or leading to "centralized pollution"
centralized treatment refers to the mode that a city or industrial park collects wastewater generated by pollution sources (including industrial pollution sources and domestic pollution sources) in the region through a municipal drainage pipe network and sends it to a sewage treatment plant for unified treatment. This model not only saves environmental protection investment and improves treatment efficiency, but also adopts advanced technology and carries out modern management, so it has remarkable social, economic and environmental benefits and is conducive to urban planning and industrial integration.
However, the Report shows that a large number of industrial sewage treatment plants have failed to meet the standards and become centralized "pollution sources". According to the statistics of China's water pollution map database, from 2118 to 2113, the number of illegal supervision records of 3,622 sewage treatment plants built in various places reached an astonishing 4,961, with an average of about 1.4 for each sewage treatment plant, and the problems in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were more serious.
A considerable number of sewage treatment plants with excessive discharge records accept industrial wastewater, and some sewage treatment plants even mainly accept industrial wastewater. "Industrial wastewater usually has the characteristics of high pollutant concentration, complex components and poor biodegradability. In many areas, treatment plants are treated as' swill', and all types of sewage are accepted without selection, resulting in' indigestion', greatly reducing the efficiency of sewage treatment, and eventually the wastewater discharge exceeds the standard." Ma Jun pointed out.
on February 4th, 2113, the third phase report of Green Choice Textile issued by IPE, Green Jiangnan and other seven environmental protection organizations recorded the excessive discharge of Xiaoshan Linjiang Sewage Treatment Plant. However, today, the operation of Xiaoshan Linjiang Sewage Treatment Plant is still not optimistic. According to the monitoring records included in IPE pollution map database, in many supervisory monitoring reports from 2113 to 2114, Xiaoshan Linjiang Sewage Treatment Plant repeatedly showed excessive discharge.
"one enterprise, one management" should be adjusted to "one enterprise, one supervision"
Under the centralized treatment mode, the rights and obligations of polluters and managers are as follows: sewage enterprises deliver sewage that meets the pretreatment standards as agreed, and centralized sewage treatment enterprises pay for the sewage delivered by sewage enterprises according to the agreed charging standards.
"If the sewage disposal enterprise sends the qualified sewage to the centralized treatment enterprise, the centralized treatment party will be responsible for it. In this case, the fault of the centralized treatment enterprise has caused environmental pollution damage, and the environmental responsibility can only be borne by itself; If environmental damage occurs without fault of the centralized processing enterprise, the polluting enterprise shall bear joint and several environmental responsibilities together with the centralized processing enterprise and share the responsibilities according to the agreed share. " Ma Jun pointed out.
on 5 October, the Ministry of environmental protection began to solicit opinions on improving the pretreatment standard for indirect discharge of printing and dyeing wastewater in industrial parks, that is, enterprises discharged into centralized treatment facilities in a single textile dyeing and finishing industrial park should implement the discharge limits of COD511mg/L and BOD 151 mg/L. "Although the limit has been relaxed, the monitoring of corporate emissions is still indispensable." Ma Jun revealed. It is emphasized in the preparation instructions of the amendment sheet that enterprises should pretreat general pollutants, and the indirect discharge standard reached by pretreatment needs to be comprehensively determined according to the wastewater quality, the treatment capacity and drainage requirements of the sewage treatment plant in the park, as well as factors such as technology, economy, land and management.
fortunately, at present, some areas are also strengthening the supervision of polluting enterprises. "In view of the problems existing in centralized sewage treatment, the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province is adjusting the previous" one enterprise and one pipe "to" one enterprise and one pipe "."One enterprise and one pipe "means to ensure that each management enterprise does discharge the sewage into the centralized treatment plant. However, due to the lack of strict requirements for pretreatment, the mixed discharge of wastewater from complex industries such as printing and dyeing chemicals is likely to have a serious impact on the treatment process. "One enterprise and one supervision" means to supervise the discharge of each enterprise, and strictly require each pollutant discharge enterprise to meet the discharge standards according to the pretreatment standards, so as to reduce the processing burden of centralized treatment facilities and improve the discharge rate. " Ma Jun said.
