Shishi 123 dyeing and finishing companies bid farewell to coal burning

The business club reported on June 17 that the chimney was still standing and the black smoke was scattered. This was a strange situation in Shishi City, Fujian Province, where textiles and garments are important. It will now be completely reversed.

Xinhua, Guanyun, Xiesheng Xiefeng and other lions, the first batch of eight dyeing and finishing enterprises, officially accepted the central heating of Shishi Hongshan Thermal Power Plant. With immediate effect, with the continuous laying of pipelines, 123 dyeing and finishing companies in Shishi City will bid farewell to the era of coal burning, and 123 black chimneys will gradually exit the stage of history.

The dyeing and finishing industry is a key link in the upper reaches of the textile and clothing industry and is also the most concentrated part of the pollution. As the origin and base of Fujian Textiles and Garments, Shishi's dyeing and finishing industry is quite developed. At present, there are a total of 123 dyeing and finishing companies with an annual output value of more than 5 billion yuan. In the past, due to the use of high-pressure water vapor, each of these dyeing and finishing companies built their own boilers and used steam boiler models to make steam. As a result, a large chimney stands above each factory.

“Dyeing and finishing companies have incomplete combustion, *associated materials, and serious energy waste during the coal burning process. These 123 chimneys once became an extremely dissonant 'landscape' in Shishi City, and the local people reacted strongly.” Shishi Environmental Protection Bureau Secretary Jin Shan said.

In order to completely reverse this situation, in December 2008, Shishi successfully introduced the provincial key construction project, the Hongshan Thermal Power Project. In addition to solving the city's power shortage, the annual output of water vapor, a by-product of this project, can reach 7.8 million tons, which is fully satisfactory. Dyeing and steaming needs of local dyeing and finishing companies. Chen Shangyan, director of the integrated department of the Hongshan Thermal Power Plant, said: “We use a full-process off-line process to cut 6,300 tons of dioxide* emissions, 3,500 tons of dust emissions and 8,100 tons of nitrogen oxides per year for dyeing and finishing companies.”

In the production workshop of Xinhua Knitting and Dyeing Company, a leading dyeing and finishing company not far from the Hongshan Thermal Power Plant, the author saw that the chimney above the factory is no longer emitting smoke. The steam pipe connected to Hongshan has begun to supply steam to the workshop. “The uniform supply of water vapor can adjust the temperature and pressure at any time, which is also beneficial to the stability of the quality of apparel fabrics.” Chen Jianzhong, general manager of the company, said that this centralized heating method is very economical and can save energy for the company each year. It costs more than 1.5 million yuan. What makes him even more happy is that since the boilers will no longer be used to burn coal, the company will take off the "hat" of the polluting enterprises and bid farewell to the environmental protection "spell."

Hong Shi, president of Shishi Fabrics Association, said that it is of great significance to the transformation of the Shupai textile and clothing industry by focusing on steam supply and bid farewell to the black chimney. A "clean era" is about to come.
