Thread Content
On November 7, in the freezing workshop of the old Xianlong Chemical plant, technicians were removing various types of equipment. In the coming months, they will continue until it is completely demolished.
Hubei Xianlong Chemical Co., Ltd. is a technology-based enterprise specialized in the research, development, production, and sales of pesticides and pesticide intermediates. The old Xianlong Chemical Plant is located at the eastern end of the City Riverfront Avenue, less than one kilometer away from the banks of the Han River. In response to the arrangements and directives regarding the relocation and renovation of hazardous chemical manufacturing enterprises, the company commenced its relocation and renovation process in 2015. At present, Xianlong Chemical is shutting down and removing the highly polluting and energy-intensive production facilities from its old plant, and upgrading its production equipment technologically. We must vigorously promote green development; ecological protection is an essential task. Last September, our city established a special command center for the rectification of chemical enterprises along the river, assigning dedicated personnel to conduct investigations among all the chemical enterprises in the city. A total of 15 enterprises were included in the list of those subject to the measures of closure, transformation, relocation, or shutdown. To date, similar to Hexianlong Chemical, 6 other companies including Green Home, Xinda Chemical, and Maoyuan Chemical have also entered the park. Vigorously promoting the rectification of chemical enterprises along the river is an important part of the ten landmark campaigns for the comprehensive protection of the Han River. A relevant official from the Municipal Economic and Information Commission said that they will demonstrate the determination and take action necessary to push forward the process of closing, transforming, relocating, or changing the operations of chemical enterprises along the river, ensuring that the remaining 9 such enterprises complete all related tasks such as closure, transformation, relocation, and change in production by the end of 2020.
