early summer, the factory area of Tangshan Branch of Tangshan Jidong Cement Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch) is lush and green against the blue sky and white clouds. Unlike the traditional cement plant's "dusty in sunny days and muddy in rainy days" scene, the chimney here is smokeless and the road is like washing. The large screen of real-time monitoring information of pollutant emission concentration
not far away shows that particulate matter is less than 10 mg/m3, sulfur dioxide is less than 30 mg/m3, and nitrogen oxides are less than 50 mg/m3 . It marks the first full-process ultra-low emission transformation project in China's cement industry formally passed the evaluation. In May
2025, China Cement Association announced on its website that Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch had achieved ultra-low emission transformation in the whole process, marking the completion of a 12-month green revolution. Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch invested 200 million yuan to implement 15 technical renovation projects, reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions by 72% and 71% respectively, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 200000 tons. This achievement not only marks the green development of the enterprise itself, but also provides a model for the low-carbon transformation of the national cement industry.
cement industry is also a key industry for pollution reduction and carbon reduction. Its air pollutants, carbon dioxide emissions and cargo transportation volume rank among the top three in the industrial field, which has a significant impact on air quality improvement and carbon emission reduction. The green transformation of the industry is imminent. At the beginning of
2024, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other departments jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emission in Cement Industry (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), which clearly proposed to promote the transformation of ultra-low emission in the whole process and process of cement industry, and formally opened the prelude of green transformation in cement industry. In this context, as the largest single cement production enterprise in the north, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch realized that the implementation of ultra-low emission transformation is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity for enterprises to achieve high-quality development.
"We have always kept green development in mind." Cai Jinshan, Party Secretary of Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch, said. In fact, since 2018, enterprises have taken the lead in implementing many treatment projects, such as closed transformation of material shed, closed transformation of transport belt, desulfurization and denitrification transformation of cement kiln, upgrading and transformation of dust removal facilities, spray dust suppression transformation and so on. These early investments have greatly improved the level of environmental protection management of enterprises, and in 2020, they were awarded the first batch of A-level performance enterprises in the cement industry in China.
Faced with the new challenge of ultra-low emission transformation of the whole process, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has not hesitated at all and is determined to be "the first person to eat crabs".
But this decision is not easy, 200 million yuan of transformation costs, for cement enterprises with tight funds and compressed expenditures, is undoubtedly a huge investment. Fifteen governance and renovation projects cover the whole process from production technology to transportation links, involving the all-round improvement of enterprise governance and management level.
"At present, the business situation of the whole industry is more difficult, but we uphold the concept of" environmental protection first is not a slogan ", organize the whole staff to participate, put environmental protection before profit landing action, and strive to complete the task once." Xie Ronghua, manager of Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch, said firmly. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the transformation, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has set up an ultra-low emission work promotion team headed by the manager, which manages the whole process from technical scheme formulation, fund raising, project implementation and quality control.
Last September, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch invited experts from the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, China Environmental Monitoring Station, China Building Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd. and China Academy of Environmental Sciences to conduct a comprehensive "physical examination" of the company. "Experts have given on-site assistance and guidance many times and put forward many valuable opinions." Kong Xiaosong, head of the environmental protection department of the enterprise, recalled, "We have conducted in-depth research on each opinion and formulated detailed rectification plans to ensure that all of them are in place." It is this rigorous and serious attitude that lays a solid foundation for the smooth development of the follow-up renovation project.
the cement bulk workshop, With the operation of the equipment, the cement in the warehouse passes through the closed feeding equipment to the cement tanker, and the dust collection system opens synchronously and automatically to "eliminate" the overflowing dust. There is no dust flying in the whole workshop, and there is no choking smell.
"Clean transport is a tough nut to crack." Zhang Xuejun, deputy manager of the enterprise in charge of environmental protection, pointed to the new energy trucks entering the factory and said, "Like other cement enterprises, transportation is generally entrusted to third-party transport fleets, requiring the use of national six or new energy vehicles, and the transportation cost is much higher than that of the original national five trucks."
Clean transportation is a major problem in the transformation of ultra-low emission in cement industry. The Opinion requires that the proportion of raw materials and fuels transported in and out of enterprises by clean means such as railways, waterways, pipelines, tubular belt conveyors and belt corridors shall not be less than 80%; for enterprises that fail to meet the requirements, all vehicles transported by automobiles shall be new energy or vehicles meeting the Sixth National Emission Standard. The requirements of key areas are more stringent, and the proportion of clean transportation of raw materials and fuels is less than 80%, all of which should be replaced by new energy vehicles.
Although Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has its own mine, limestone can be transported to the plant area through the corridor, but it still can not meet the requirements of the proportion of clean transportation. This means that the kinetic energy mode and emission phase of the customer's and supplier's cargo vehicles need to be strictly controlled.
There is no turning back arrow. In order to meet the requirements of clean transportation, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch started with the contract, and in the cooperation agreement signed with suppliers, it clearly stipulated that transport vehicles must meet the national six or new energy standards, and encouraged suppliers to upgrade vehicles through incentives such as freight subsidies. "At the most difficult time, we face the risk of losing market share." Zhang Xuejun said frankly, "But we did not shrink back and took the initiative to stop the five or less freight vehicles from entering the factory until they met the requirements of clean transportation."
Moreover, in order to ensure that all transport vehicles are national six and new energy, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has also established a modern electronic access control and video surveillance system, covering all logistics channels, covering all materials and products transportation, and can display all kinds of transportation data in real time, clearly showing the proportion of clean transportation. After the
vehicle is entered in the access control system, the company's environmental protection management personnel check the vehicle emission stage against the national motor vehicle environmental protection platform, and the information is confirmed to be correct before passing, effectively avoiding the situation of changing the head, deck and emission stage fraud.
In addition to clean transportation, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch also spares no effort in organized and unorganized emission management.
In terms of organized emission management, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has also made great efforts. Entering the production plant, three sets of "staged combustion + SNCR + SCR" combined denitrification process operate efficiently, and 195 sets of pollution control facilities work orderly, firmly "locking" pollutants. The company also invested more than 660 million yuan to add SCR denitrification equipment, adjust the position of ammonia spray gun, and realize intelligent ammonia injection and precise ammonia injection, just like installing a "smart brain" on the equipment, which can automatically adjust the amount of ammonia injection according to the flue gas conditions. It invested 13.5 million yuan to carry out the transformation of C1 cylinder, effectively prolong the service life of SCR catalyst and reduce the operation cost by optimizing the structure.
For unorganized emissions, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has taken comprehensive and three-dimensional control measures. The material conveying devices are all sealed (sealed), and the bag filter is set at the transfer drop point to "strangle" the dust at the source; the materials are stored in closed silos and closed storage sheds, the dust collection cover is installed at the feeding port of each closed storage shed, and the spraying facilities are installed at the feeding point of the cloth and reclaimer, just like covering the materials with "dust-proof clothes". At the same time, 10 material storage sheds and 89 belt corridor gaps are blocked, unpowered exhaust devices and filter cotton are installed on the top, and dry fog dust suppression equipment is installed on the top of auxiliary material storage sheds and raw coal storage sheds to control unorganized emissions from the source.
In addition, 18 sets of on-line monitoring equipment are installed at kiln head, kiln tail, cement mill and coal mill, and the data are networked in real time. Relying on the integrated platform of environmental management and control, the closed-loop management of early warning and disposal of abnormal monitoring data is realized.
" The factory environment is much better now. Employees are more comfortable working in the factory area. Master Li, an employee who has worked in the factory for many years, said with emotion that his eyes were full of pride. In the process of transformation,
enterprises complete the construction of integrated platform for environmental management and control, which brings obvious benefits.Operation and maintenance personnel are reduced by 30%, but more efficient work is achieved; unplanned downtime is reduced by 20%, ensuring the continuity of production; the automatic transmission rate of surveillance video reaches 100%, making environmental monitoring more timely and accurate. Behind these changes is the persistent pursuit and solid action of enterprises for green transformation. On March 26
this year, the Department of Atmospheric Environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment organized a survey on the ultra-low emission assessment work of Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch. Through the joint efforts of many parties, the ultra-low emission assessment work was successfully carried out and successfully completed. The transformation effect of Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch has been recognized.
Looking back on this unforgettable transformation process, everyone who participated in it was impressed. Leaders at all levels went deep into enterprises for many times to give advice on environmental protection difficulties, and experts from entrusted units climbed elevated roads and went down to the pit to complete all-round inspection in a rigorous and pragmatic manner. Five categories and 507 problems were sorted out in the pre-assessment to form a detailed problem account, and rectification measures and sales numbers were formulated one by one for each problem in the rectification and upgrading stage; From 195 monitoring sites, 18 CEMS systems, 737 unorganized emission sites and 323 transport vehicles in the on-site evaluation and monitoring stage to the final successful passing of the nearly harsh "physical examination", every link embodies the efforts and sweat of innumerable participants.
"During the period of ultra-low emission transformation, with the help of the ecological environment department, we also successfully applied for the central air pollution prevention and control fund 2217." Xie Ronghua said that the injection of these funds not only alleviated the financial pressure of enterprises, but also provided strong support for enterprises to continue to promote green development. After the
completion of ultra-low emission transformation, Jinyu Jidong Cement Tangshan Branch will be included in the positive list of supervision, law enforcement and supervision in Hebei Province, and enjoy a lot of policy support. In the process of daily supervision and management, except for special circumstances, the relevant industry regulatory authorities will adopt off-site inspection methods to achieve "no disturbance". During the period of emergency response to heavily polluted weather, autonomous emission reduction shall be implemented, and various preferential policies shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions; for the first minor violation that is not intentional and does not cause serious impact, "no penalty for the first violation" shall be implemented. When dealing with administrative licensing and public service matters, they can also enjoy convenient measures such as green passage, tolerance and acceptance.
"The creation of ultra-low emission enterprises is not an end point, but a new starting point." Looking forward to the future, Xie Ronghua is full of confidence. The enterprise will continue to seize the opportunity, strive to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly enterprise, give back to the society with more excellent and high-quality development results, play a leading role in the green transformation of the national cement industry, and write a new chapter on the road of green development.
In order to accelerate the realization of the "double carbon target" and actively promote the green and high-quality development of the industry, China Cement Network will be launched on May 27-28, 2025. < a href = "https://www.ccement.com/news/content/55312701933175001." This conference will bring together industry elites and resources. Provide all-round support for the industry in terms of technology, policy landing and resource docking.
