Article introduction: Recently, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province released the "Hangzhou Atmospheric Environmental Quality Deadline Compliance Plan", which stipulates that by 2022, Hangzhou will achieve city-wide compliance with PM2.5 concentration standards and further optimize energy consumption and industrial structure. According to the "Industrial Structural Adjustment Project Task List", before the end of 2020, Fuyang, Hangzhou, Zhejiang will close 115 paper-making companies. From now on, the relevant departments in Hangzhou will mainly take the following 10 rectification actions.
1. From now on, the relevant departments in Hangzhou will mainly take the following 10 rectification actions.
1. Plan the scope of business closures
The overall planning scope is set to Hangzhou City. The total area under its jurisdiction is 16,596 square kilometers, and it governs 10 municipal districts (Xiacheng District, Jianggan District, Gongshu District, Xihu District, Binjiang District, Xiaoshan District, Yuhang District, Fuyang District, Lin'an District), 2 counties (Tonglu County, Chun'an County) and 1 county-level city (Jiande City).
2. Plan the deadline for rectifying the enterprise
The planning periods are short-term (2016-2020), medium-term (2021-2025) and long-term (2026-2035). By 2020, the construction of the local standard system framework for "clean emission zones" will be completed, the structural adjustment of important air pollution industries such as printing and dyeing, chemical industry, papermaking, cement, and non-ferrous metals will be promoted, and the emission of air pollutants will be significantly reduced. The quality of the atmospheric environment continues to improve. The concentration of PM2.5 in urban areas is controlled within 38 micrograms/cubic meter. The annual average PM2.5 concentration in three counties (cities) including Tonglu, Chun'an and Jiande has stably reached below 35 micrograms/cubic meter. The rising trend of O3 concentration has basically been contained.
3. Eliminate backward production capacity
Implement the "Guiding Opinions on Using Comprehensive Standards to Promote the Exit of Backward Production Capacity in accordance with Laws and Regulations." Clarify the negative list for regional industrial development, and increase efforts to eliminate, close down, and transform chemical enterprises in the Jiangdong Industrial Cluster Area, papermaking, chemical industry, and smelting in Fuyang District, printing and dyeing, chemical industry in Xiaoshan District, and chemical enterprises in Jiande City. Ying Ting learned that by 2020, enterprises in small smelting, plastic granulation (including waste recycling), small chemical industry and other industries will be eliminated first, and enterprises in chemical industry, papermaking, smelting, casting, electroplating and other heavy-polluting industries that have not entered industrial clusters will be implemented to "vacate the cage and replace the bird". By 2025, the merger, reorganization and integration of enterprises in important high-energy-consuming and heavy-polluting industries such as papermaking, printing and dyeing, chemicals, building materials, electroplating, and smelting into the district (industrial cluster) will be implemented and completed step by step.

4. Emission reduction in important industries
Strictly implement the "Zhejiang Province Volatile Organic Compounds Deepening Control and Emission Reduction Work Plan (2017-2020)". It mainly promotes chemical industry, industrial coating, printing and dyeing and chemical fiber in Xiaoshan District, chemical industry, industrial coating, packaging and printing in Fuyang District, industrial coating, printing, printing and dyeing in Yuhang District, industrial coating and printing in Lin'an District, chemical industry and industrial coating in Tonglu County, VOCs in chemical industry, industrial painting, packaging and printing, rubber and plastic products, chemical fiber in Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, chemical industry, industrial painting, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber in Dajiangdong Industrial Cluster, and chemical industry and synthetic leather industry in Jiande City are intensified.
5. Outdated technology and equipment will be eliminated
Eliminate traditional ink production equipment with an annual capacity of less than 300 tons, ban the production of benzene-containing solvent-based inks, and eliminate all coating, adhesive and ink production equipment without VOCs collection, recycling/purification facilities. Eliminate other processes and products that are seriously polluted by VOCs and are not economically feasible to reduce and control VOCs.
6. Use environmentally friendly raw and auxiliary materials
Use environmentally friendly raw and auxiliary materials with low (no) VOCs content and low reactivity, and limit the use of paints with VOCs content >420 g/L in the ready-to-use state. By 2020, the substitution ratio of environmentally friendly raw and auxiliary materials with low VOCs content in the packaging and printing industry will be no less than 60%, and single-component solvent inks will be given priority for irreplaceable ones.

7. Promote clean, green and environmentally friendly products
Use green products with low (no) VOCs content. The coating, ink and adhesive manufacturing industry restricts the production of solvent-based products, water-based, solid, UV-curable and other coatings, water-based,plant type, UV-curable inks, water-based, hot-melt, solvent-free and other adhesives. By 2018, the proportion of coatings, inks, and adhesive products with low (no) VOCs content will reach more than 60%, 70%, and 85% respectively.
8. Promote the development of cleaner production processes
Production processes and equipment with low (no) VOCs emissions in the packaging and printing industry, and optimized drying technology. In the fields of paper product packaging and plastic flexible packaging, low (no) VOCs emission printing processes such as flexo printing are used.
9. Investigate and control sources of odors and odors
Gradually relocate traditional industrial enterprises that pollute, affect the ambient air quality of the main urban area, and especially have stench that disturbs residents. In addition, Ying Ting also learned that a list of enterprises with odor and odor will be established to comprehensively carry out industrial odor and odor control. In principle, enterprises involved in odors and odors should achieve "fully sealed" production processes and "fully covered" sewage treatment facilities, build a "full collection" system of odors and odors, increase the collection rate of odors and waste gases, use treatment technologies to achieve "full treatment" of odors and odors, and significantly reduce the emission of industrial odors and odors.
10. Regulate seasonal pollution emissions
Formulate and implement NOx control plans for elevated source areas such as thermal power plants, and implement VOCs enhanced emission reduction plans that limit production and emissions in petrochemical, chemical, painting, ink printing, oil storage and transportation and other industries. Carry out comprehensive management of PM2.5 pollution in autumn and winter, and implement enhanced emission reductions in important emission industries. Study and formulate peak-shifting production plans for cement, building materials, chemical and other enterprises, promote the implementation of peak-shifting production in the cement industry (excluding grinding stations), and encourage cement industries such as Jiande City, Tonglu County and Fuyang District to implement rotating inspections and rest days. Strengthen the management of pollution discharge licenses, and control pollutant emission levels in autumn and winter in important industries below 70% of the annual average. Explore and carry out special treatment of O3 pollution in summer and autumn, with the goal of curbing O3 pollution, and formulate and implement peak-shifting production plans for O3 pollution-related industries in summer and autumn.
