First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year here. Wish you good luck in the Year of the Monkey, and may everything go as you wish. Returning home for the New Year (in a third-tier city) revealed some problems. Some old boilers are equipped with outdated desulfurization and denitration equipment. Running the device in this way will definitely result in exhaust emissions that do not meet the standards. I don’t understand why such facilities can still be in operation. Could these facilities become potential users of desulfurization and denitration units in the future? Please ask someone who understands to explain it.
It depends on the level of regulation in that area; moreover, the regulations established should include a transition period, and it’s hard to say how long that period will be. . .
With increased oversight, they will eventually have to implement the new rules anyway

It’s still the case that **the determination isn’t strong enough; things are extremely strict in Hebei now, to the point where it has become a political task. In remote areas, progress is indeed slow – the policies simply aren’t being implemented;
It’s not that the local communities **don’t understand the benefits of environmental protection; rather, the high costs associated with it can overwhelm businesses. The more employees a company has, the greater its social responsibilities, and thus the greater the pressure it faces. If environmental measures force these communities to bear the livelihood issues of thousands of people, then the local leaders will put pressure on the environmental authorities. I’ve seen a power plant of the type 4*75+2*130, which employed 1,500 people in total, with over 2,000 employees at peak times. Take an example of environmental regulations overwhelming businesses; just search for Zhangjiagang Warun on Baidu. Nearly 8,000 people were laid off overnight. Environmental protection costs have become the final straw crushing businesses.
Such corporate transformations are only a matter of time. Either enterprises eliminate pollution or pollution eliminates enterprises.
Pollution issues, economic development, and people’s livelihoods may seem contradictory, yet they complement each other: lol
It’s still **weak foundations and local protectionism causing the problem**
That’s indeed the case. For these desulfurization and emission-reduction projects I’ve worked on, from what the clients have said, they basically don’t generate any profit throughout the year; sometimes they even result in losses; I just finished working on a thermal power plant with three 75-ton units; their daily operating costs amount to hundreds of thousands ;
