Refresh the chemical image to start from oneself

At present, many chemical companies have such grievances: Although the safety and environmental protection work has grown faster than before, it has suffered more criticism and pressure. In fact, if companies can calm down and consolidate and rethink their existing flaws and perform empathy, I am afraid they will come to the conclusion that they can do better.

Looking at the various types of chemical and environmental accidents that have occurred over the years, the natural causes of force majeure are relatively few. They are basically “man-made disasters”: some are due to lack of supervision, others due to aging equipment, and some from operations. Mistakes. Among them, there are many pollution incidents that stem from the subjective intentions of unscrupulous companies.

It is precisely because some companies have too many "not good enough" that the industry has suffered too much grievances and complaints. As a result, flammable and explosive products were not delivered to high-speed, Chinese New Year and other holidays. During the holidays, hazardous chemicals “had no way to go”, the PX project became a street rat, and the industry was increasingly “demonized”. Even a media appeared recently. Play "We hate chemistry" anti-science ad. In this regard, the above misunderstanding can be said to be the result of multiple factors. Although many companies feel aggrieved, they cannot completely separate themselves from other stakeholders.

Therefore, the entire industry should reflect on what it has done and pay attention to public opinion and listen to the voices of the masses in order to correct and reshape the image of the industry. Specifically, companies must make efforts in two areas.

Safe production is the bottom line. Enterprise production is not only the manufacture of products, but also the full guarantee of safety. There are both guarantees for the lives of employees and corporate assets, as well as the maintenance of social security. Enterprises should establish the overall situation awareness so that dangers do not leave the factory, so that hidden dangers do not hit the road, so that the harm does not hurt. This also means that the existence of a company allows the people to have the most basic reassurance, rather than fearing all day long. This is the minimum living line for each manufacturing company. If even this minimum requirement cannot be achieved, how can we gain the trust of the people? Not to mention winning the people's approval.

Cleaner production is basic. To achieve cleaner production, enterprises simply do not disturb the people, do harm to society, and do not destroy the natural environment. Sure, it's easy to talk about it. The reason why the masses have concerns, fears, and complaints about environmental pollution is that some companies still do not meet the standard emissions. Environmental protection can save the province, environmental protection facilities can not turn, or the narrow pursuit of some companies in the industry. What's more, some companies are doing their own thing for the sake of self-interest, stealing and stealing as much as possible, and also pollute the environment while also damaging the health of the people. Therefore, if a company can't do clean production, it will only make itself face to face with the masses, and at the same time it will leave the industry in vain.

In fact, companies that do well on their own will get good returns. For example, there is a nitrogenous fertilizer company in Southern Jiangsu and it has two sets of urea plants with an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons. Although it is located in the upper reaches of Taihu Lake, which is the most sensitive environment, due to the adoption of the most advanced continuous coal water slurry technology in China, raw materials under high temperature conditions are used. The coal conversion rate is as high as 98% or more; combined with advanced environmental protection facilities, the tail water pollutant content is much lower than the sewage plant's efflux standard. In recent years, although the industry is operating inefficiently, the company has hundreds of millions of dollars in profits each year, and it has achieved clean production, which has been widely acclaimed by the local people. This approach is to truly establish the image of the industry and it is worth learning by many companies.
