The conflict between chemical industry and environmental protection
Thread Content
With the tightening of environmental protection policies and rising public demands for environmental safeguards, it is becoming increasingly difficult to carry out chemical industry projects across the country. Many local project promoters hope that investors from other regions will come and invest in their areas, but they make it clear that they are not willing to accommodate chemical industry projects. But on the other hand, I see that the chemical engineering design team is extremely busy, with an overwhelming number of projects; there’s not enough time to handle them all, and I’m not sure what’s going on with that. Is that really the case? Discussion is welcome.
Back home, it’s still the old approach: pollute first and deal with it later, if at all.
After all, it’s a large industry; as the original poster said, although it’s not welcome, it still has to be carried out. It’s therefore quite important to minimize pollution and ensure environmental protection!
Of course, they are not welcome for chemical projects, because it will be difficult for them to deal with them in the future, **the pressure from above
Local officials also need to achieve results. People aren’t interested in small chemical projects, but when it comes to large oil refining or ethylene production facilities, everyone competes fiercely for them. There’s no other way – they want to accomplish more during their tenure in order to advance in their careers. :lol

In small chemical projects, investors often allocate little or no funds to environmental protection measures; as a result, once pollution occurs, the investors will not take any action to address it unless the facilities are shut down. In large chemical projects, environmental protection investments are generally ensured; pollution occurs mainly because managers or operators do not carry out production in accordance with regulations (by not activating environmental protection facilities).
Our factory has also installed a wastewater treatment system, but perhaps because it was put into use not long ago, this system has not been utilized yet. But it seems like it will just be a formality from now on.
Actually, the same is true abroad; projects there also need to meet corresponding standards. Environmental protection requirements are becoming increasingly strict, but these requirements are based on practical considerations, and it is allowed for polluting enterprises to exist. In fact, large companies can even influence the revision and implementation of relevant laws in certain ways. The economy is of utmost importance, but everything must be justified so that no one can find faults with it.
