Approval regarding the Environmental Impact Report for the 100,000-ton-per-year methanol production project of Inner Mongolia Hebaite Energy Co., Ltd. Author/Source: Baotou Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau Date: 2019-06-10 Views: 27 Inner Mongolia Hebaite Energy Co., Ltd.: We have received the document titled “100,000-ton-per-year methanol production project of Inner Mongolia Hebaite Energy Co., Ltd.” (Document No. Hebaite 25), the “Environmental Impact Report for the 100,000-ton-per-year methanol production project of Inner Mongolia Hebaite Energy Co., Ltd.” (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”), and the “Technical Assessment Report on the Environmental Impact Report for the 100,000-ton-per-year methanol production project of Inner Mongolia Hebaite Energy Co., Ltd.” submitted by your company. After examination, the approval is as follows: 1. Basic information on the project: This project is located on the vacant land reserved by Inner Mongolia Jingwei Metal Technology Co., Ltd. in the Shigui Industrial Park. It involves producing 100,000 tons of methanol per year using the coke oven gas that was originally used for the magnesium alloy production process at this company, after that process was shut down. This meets the requirements set out in the \"Access Conditions for the Coking Industry\" (revised in 2014). The project incorporates a refined desulfurization process and low-nitrogen combustion facilities. It also includes gas holders, tank areas, gas heating furnaces, accident ponds, hazardous waste storage facilities, and wastewater recycling systems. The project’s heating needs are met internally, while water supply is provided by the existing facilities in the park; drainage and power supply are handled by Baotou Jingwei Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. Upon completion of the project, it will be possible to reduce particulate matter by 35.646 t/a, SO2 by 41 t/a, and NOx by 50.58 t/a. The project construction is in line with the park’s planning. After implementing the various pollution prevention and control measures as well as risk mitigation measures proposed in the Report, adverse environmental impacts can be alleviated and controlled. From an environmental protection perspective, our department In principle agrees to the location, processes, and environmental protection measures for the construction projects listed in the Report. II. The following tasks should be given priority in project construction: 1. The heating furnace of the project uses methanol off-gas as fuel, and the emissions resulting from combustion are controlled through low-nitrogen combustion processes. The tank area is equipped with an oil and gas recovery system that includes three stages of condensation as well as activated carbon adsorption; the levels of methanol in the exhaust gases and uncontrolled emissions meet the requirements specified in the \"Integrated Emission Standards for Air Pollutants\" (GB16297-1996). 2. Process wastewater and domestic sewage shall be discharged to the Jingwei Energy Chemicals Sewage Treatment Station after meeting the Grade 3 standards of the \"Comprehensive Wastewater Discharge Standards\" (GB8978-1996) ； Wastewater such as clean wastewater is reused after meeting the reuse requirements. 3. Noise control measures such as sound insulation and vibration reduction shall be adopted for various noise sources to ensure that the noise levels at the factory boundary meet the limit requirements of Class 3 specified in the \"Emission Standards for Environmental Noise at the Boundaries of Industrial Enterprises\" (GB12348-2008). 4. Construct hazardous waste storage facilities that meet the requirements of the \"Standards for Pollution Control of Hazardous Waste Storage\" (GB18597-2001) (revised in 2013); hazardous waste shall be temporarily stored in such facilities in accordance with relevant regulations, and qualified institutions shall be commissioned regularly to handle it ； Household waste is collected by the sanitation department. 5. Construct a cofferdam for the tank area. Prepare an emergency plan for environmental risk incidents as required, and file it with the environmental protection authorities. Activate the emergency plan promptly in case of an accident to ensure environmental safety. III. After the project is completed, an environmental protection acceptance inspection for completion shall be carried out in accordance with the prescribed procedures. Only after passing the acceptance test can the project be put into official production. IV. In the event of significant changes in the nature, scale, location of the project, or the production processes employed or the pollution control measures taken, the relevant approval procedures must be renewed in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations. If construction does not begin within 5 years from the date of approval, an application must be submitted to our bureau for re-evaluation. V. Our bureau has entrusted the Shiguan District Environmental Protection Bureau with the responsibility for supervising and inspecting environmental protection during the construction of this project.
