II. The Construction and Operation of Pollution Control Facilities

1. SKSHU Paint Co., Ltd. (Putian Factory)

Acting in strict accordance with the "Three Simultaneities" requirements for construction projects, the company has enhanced its environmental protection facilities to ensure the stable and qualified discharge of various environmental factors. The workshops are equipped with dust removal and degassing facilities, sewage treatment stations are established, solid waste storage yards are up to the standards, and measures such as wind and rain protection, leakage and loss prevention are taken. The main environmental protection facilities are:

(1) VOC treatment and dust removal devices: In wood paint A and B workshops, and adhesive and resin workshops, pulse sedimentation dust removal and zeolite runner RTO combustion devices are adopted to treat organic waste gas; the solvent for which is adsorbed in the gap of zeolite runners through the porosity of zeolite runners and the tension of the gap surfaces so that the discharged waste gas is purified. When zeolite wheels are saturated with the solvent, the latter is desorbed and regenerated by hot air, and the detached organic matter is oxidized at a high temperature to convert the organic waste gas into carbon dioxide and water. In latex paint and texture paint workshops, sedimentation dust removal devices are used to remove dust in waste gas and reduce the emission of harmful substances such as particles in the gas.

(2) Sewage treatment stations: waste water from reactor cleaning, workshop floor washing and laboratory as well as sanitary sewage from workshop employees is treated by the existing sewage treatment stations, discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network after measuring up to the standard, and merged into Minzhong Waste Water Treatment Plant for further treatment. And at the sewage treatment stations is adopted a combination of physical and biochemical treatment as well as processes of grid filtering, sedimentation and biological contact oxidation of stable treatment effect and high pollutant removal rates. Resin organic waste water treatment is done by a set of sewage treatment equipment (catalytic micro-electrolysis devices, ultra-high load integrated bio-reactors, circular biological reaction devices, up-flow anaerobic filters, photo-Fenton oxidation devices, hydrolysis devices, flocculation precipitator, etc.). Upon reaching the standard, the waste water is discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network and merged into Minzhong Waste Water Treatment Plant for further treatment.

These environmental protection measures have enabled the company to meet the emission standards approved by EIA in terms of treated sewage and waste gas, and environmental protection requirements for factory boundary noise. And all of the environmental protection facilities could run stably, with the synchronous operation of the facilities up to the requirements.

2. Fujian Sanjiang Packaging Co., Ltd.

Strictly following the requirements of "Three Simultaneities" for construction projects, Sanjiang Packaging has improved its environmental protection facilities to ensure the stable and qualified discharge of various environmental factors. The workshops are equipped with three sets of gas collection systems. As a result, its environmental protection facilities could run stably with the synchronized operation of facilities up to the requirements.

3. Tianjin SKSHU Paint Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Factory)

Strictly following the "Three Simultaneities" requirements for construction projects, it has improved its environmental protection facilities to ensure the stable and qualified discharge of various environmental factors. The workshops are equipped with three sets of down-flow dust collectors to remove the dust in the exhaust gas, and discharge is conducted after the treatment reaches the standards; a sewage treatment station has been set up for waste water from production and experiments, which when reaching the standard is discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network of the industrial park, and finally discharged into Shuangqing Waste Water Treatment Plant for centralized treatment. Also, its environmental protection facilities could run stably, and the synchronous operation of the facilities is up to the requirements.

4. Henan SKSHU Paint Co., Ltd. (Henan Factory)

Strictly following the requirements of the "Three Simultaneities" for construction projects, it has built various environmental protection facilities to ensure the stable and qualified discharge of various environmental factors. A set of bag-type pulse dust collectors are built in the workshops to remove the dust in the exhaust gas and discharge it after reaching the standard; also, a sewage treatment station is set up to treat the waste water from reactors, workshop floors and laboratories, which, after reaching the standards, will be discharged to Nanzhao County Sewage Pumping Station and finally to Nanzhao County Sewage Treatment Plant for centralized treatment. Its protection facilities could run stably, and the synchronous operation of the facilities meets the requirements.

5. Sichuan SKSHU Paint Co., Ltd. (Sichuan Factory)

Its environmental protection facilities were equipped in strict accordance with the requirements of the "Three Simultaneities" for construction projects and of the environmental impact report. The dust-containing gas produced during the production at the water-based paint workshops is discharged according to the standards after being treated by sedimentation filter cartridge dust collectors; the organic waste gas containing dust produced in the oil-based paint workshops is pre-treated by down-flow filter cartridge dust collectors, treated by molecular sieve adsorption and concentration wheels + RTO waste gas treatment facilities, and discharged after it is up to the Integrated Emission Standard for Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996), Sichuan Emission Control Standard for Volatile Organic Compounds (DB51/2377-2017) and Emission Standards for Odor Pollutants (GB 14554-93). Moreover, the waste water and domestic sewage in the factory are treated by the sewage treatment stations in the factory. The waste water from production is treated by "efficient air flotation+micro electrolysis", and then treated by "anaerobic biofilter+biological contact oxygen" together with domestic sewage. After reaching the third grade standards in Table 4 of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996), it enters the Third Sewage Treatment Plant of Qionglai City through the municipal sewage pipe network for treatment before discharging into the Xiejiang River.
