On June 12, the Department of Ecology and Environment held a meeting to consider and adopt the "Sichuan Glass Industry Air Pollutant Emission Standard (Draft for Review)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard"), which will be submitted for approval and release in accordance with the procedures. Through the implementation of the Standard, the emission of pollutants from the glass industry in the whole province will be greatly reduced. On the basis of drawing lessons from the relevant emission standards of the state and other provinces (cities) in China, and combining with the atmospheric environmental quality, the current situation of industry governance and the level of economic development in different regions of Sichuan Province, as well as the emission characteristics of pollutants in different production processes of the glass industry,
the Standard formulates corresponding emission limits for pollutants in different regions and sections. At the same time, the control requirements of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and ammonia fugitive emission were clarified. Compared
with the current national standards, the Standard has the characteristics of stricter emission limits and more comprehensive control indicators. Taking full account of the actual situation of deep treatment of glass industry in our province, the emission limits of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, non-methane total hydrocarbons in organized emissions and particulate matter and non-methane total hydrocarbons in unorganized emissions have been tightened. At the same time, in view of the ammonia escape in the process of denitrification of glass furnace waste gas and the unorganized emission of ammonia in the process of loading, unloading, storage and transportation, the emission limit of unorganized ammonia was defined. After the promulgation of the
Standards, the Department of Ecology and Environment will carry out timely policy interpretation, actively promote the implementation of the Standards and other related work, and help to continuously improve the quality of the atmospheric environment.
