Discussion on Exploiting Environmental Protection Equipment Technology Market in Packaging and Food Machinery Industry

When reading the title of this article, readers of China Packaging and Food Machinery Corporation Xu Jingyu may feel strange and new, but after reading this article patiently, you will find yourself in the business activities often contacted, or you are engaged in the subject in the field involved , but did not link the two organically. Because of the nature of the work, the author has more business contacts and practical experience in the two areas of the subject. He deeply feels that the packaging and food machinery industry and the environmental protection machinery industry are becoming more and more extensive. In some areas, our industry itself is conducting business, some areas are in the combination of two industries, or an extension of the packaging and food machinery industry. In the past, the machinery industry was affected by the fragmentation of industries under planned economic conditions, resulting in The disconnection of technology and market is not conducive to the healthy and orderly development of the industry. Under the excellent situation in which the country actively develops the environmental protection industry, encourage competent industries and powerful enterprises to actively participate in the development and development of the environmental protection industry.
The packaging and food machinery industry is involved in market development and involves the development of environmental technologies and equipment in many fields. It is necessary to consider system engineering and implement cross-industry, inter-departmental, and inter-regional cooperation, which is beneficial to industries and enterprises. development of.
I. Overview and development trend of China's environmental protection industry and environmental protection equipment As we all know, since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of China's national economy, the issue of environmental pollution has caused widespread concern in the society. Environmental pollution not only causes great harm to human life and health, but environmental deterioration also hinders social and economic development. Therefore, strengthening environmental protection and achieving sustainable economic development are China's long-term adherence to a basic national policy.
Protecting the ecological environment and improving the human-centered environmental quality have become an important part of human social development and have formed a wave of green environmental protection industries that humanity is pursuing. Under this situation, the sudden emergence of the environmental protection machinery industry has formed a new industry. China attaches great importance to environmental protection and has listed the environmental protection industry as one of the new growth points for the development of the national economy. With the acceleration of environmental legislation in China and the strengthening of environmental law enforcement supervision, it will create a good market condition for the development of environmental protection machinery industry.
Protecting the ecological environment is a basic national policy of our country. The Chinese government has successively promulgated a series of "Top Ten Measures for China's Environment and Development", "China's Agenda 21", "White Paper on Environmental Protection in China", "Law on Prevention of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste" and "Decision on Certain Issues Concerning Environmental Protection" and a series of Laws and regulations.
According to the environmental protection goals set by the 21st Century Agenda, by 2010, China’s environmental pollution and ecological destruction will be basically controlled, and the environmental quality will also be improved overall. However, with the increase of population and economic development, the total amount of pollutants generated will also increase. By 2010, China’s population will reach 1.456 billion. At that time, the country’s daily consumption of coal, SO 2 and soot will increase by 164.7%, 169.5% and 180% respectively over 1990; domestic sewage and household waste. It increased by 311% and 109.7% respectively. In order to achieve the prevention and control targets proposed by China, by 2010, the treatment rate of industrial and agricultural fumes and exhaust gas should reach 95%, the harmless rate of domestic garbage should reach 30%, and the reuse rate of industrial and agricultural wastewater should reach 70%. Fly ash utilization rate should reach 70% and 50% respectively. To achieve the above objectives, from 1996 to 2000, the country’s environmental protection investment is expected to reach 380 billion yuan, plus the use of foreign investment of 20 billion yuan, a total of up to 400 billion yuan. According to 40% of environmental protection equipment, which accounts for 40% of total environmental protection investment, China’s environmental protection industry will need to provide approximately 160 billion yuan of environmental protection technology and equipment between 1996 and 2000. It is predicted that from 2000 to 2010, China’s investment in pollution prevention and control will be 16230 to 18730. Billion yuan, the corresponding total demand for environmental protection machinery products is 4869 to 561.9 billion yuan to meet the needs of the domestic environmental protection market.
With the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive, the focus of environmental pollution control has shifted from simple end-to-end governance to full control of production. We will vigorously promote the popularization and use of new concepts such as clean production and clean consumption, and guide environmental protection companies to pay more attention to the technological transformation of manufacturing enterprises and the redesign of their processes and products. At the same time, we must focus on the development of technologies, equipment, and processes for recycling, recycling, recycling, recycling, harmlessness, and waste reduction.
The definition of the environmental protection industry in China refers to the technological development, product production, commercial circulation, resource utilization, information services, project contracting, and natural resources for the purpose of preventing and controlling environmental pollution, improving the ecological environment, and protecting natural resources in the national economic structure. The general term for activities such as protection and development is the technical guarantee and material basis for preventing and controlling environmental pollution and protecting the ecological environment.
China's environmental protection industry consists of seven fields, namely: environmental protection product production, environmental product marketing, environmental engineering design and construction, environmental protection consulting services, environmental protection technology research and development, comprehensive utilization and recycling of resources, ecological restoration and ecological agriculture.
Among them, environmental protection product production, comprehensive utilization of resources, and environmental protection technology services are the main parts of the environmental protection industry. The environmental protection machinery industry is also the pillar industry of the environmental protection industry and is the main force to promote the rapid development of China's environmental protection industry. According to statistics of the environmental protection industry in 1997, the output value of environmental protection machinery industry accounted for 40% of the total value of the environmental protection industry. The main areas of services for the environmental protection machinery industry are: water and water pollution treatment, waste management and recycling, air pollution control, noise elimination, environmental accident treatment or cleanup activities, environmental assessment and monitoring, environmental services, energy and urban landscaping, etc. .
China's environmental protection machinery industry is still in its infancy. At present, of the more than 3,000 types of environmental protection machinery products in China, a considerable part is due to the inconsistency of model specifications and results in similar products with similar physical properties and structural similarities. The level of technology, product quality and variety are 20 years behind that of advanced foreign countries.
Judging from the current domestic environmental protection market organization and corporate behavior, it has not yet formed a fully functional, complete, and effectively formulated information network. The information channels between market players are not good, and companies cannot achieve rapid and effective conversion and supply between technology and market. Research and production have their own governance, low-level product duplication, backlog of scientific research results, and serious disconnect between production, study and research.
At present, of the more than 2,400 environmental protection machinery manufacturing enterprises in the country, more than 1,000 companies account for 3% of the total number of companies, together with 500 or more companies account for about 8% of the total, and collective and individual enterprises account for 78% of the total industry enterprises; The enterprises with an annual output value of more than 30 million yuan accounted for 3.2% of the total number of enterprises in the industry, and those with an annual output value of less than 5 million yuan accounted for 95%. On the whole, China's environmental protection machinery industry is relatively small and can not meet the rapid development of China's environmental protection industry.
Second, packaging machinery and food machinery industry are closely related to the environmental protection industry The packaging and food machinery industry is an emerging industry that provides equipment and technology for the packaging industry, food industry, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, deputy and fisheries industries. Since the reform and opening up, the output value of the food industry has risen to the top of all industries in the national economy, and the packaging industry has also entered the 14th position. The development of large-scale agriculture has always been at the basic position of national economic development. The vast market opportunities have promoted the rapid development of the packaging and food machinery industry. In the provision of equipment and technical services for the packaging industry, food industry, agriculture, and the deep processing and comprehensive utilization of agricultural and sideline products, the connection with environmental protection related fields has become increasingly widespread and close. In many packaging and food machinery engineering projects or services, environmental protection equipment and technologies are considered as systems engineering. Such as livestock and poultry slaughter and meat processing enterprises sewage treatment and comprehensive utilization; corn starch and potato starch processing enterprises, the comprehensive utilization of sewage treatment and by-products; beer, liquor, alcohol plant wastewater treatment and comprehensive utilization of by-products; aquatic products processing Comprehensive utilization of wastewater treatment and by-products of enterprises; black liquor processing technology and equipment of paper mills; deep processing and comprehensive utilization of large amounts of wastes (such as slag, shells, stems, juices, juices, etc.) during the processing of agricultural products; Degradable packaging materials, production technology and equipment, etc. Compared with other industries, the packaging and food machinery industry is more extensively related to environmental protection. Some areas are not only in the packaging and food machinery industry, but also serve the environmental protection enterprises objectively. They have their own characteristics and require a high degree of attention from the entire industry.
In order to protect the ecological environment, the country has newly formulated 170 national environmental protection standards and industry standards in recent years. More than 500 local environmental laws and regulations have been promulgated. The “Control Plan for Total Pollutant Discharges” and the “Trans-Century Semi-Green Project Plan” put forward by the National Environmental Protection Agency are being implemented and have gradually achieved results. With the improvement of the environmental awareness of the whole society and the further enhancement of the environmental law enforcement of the government departments, the production enterprises in the packaging industry, food industry, and agricultural and sideline product processing industries will face enormous pressure for pollution discharge standards. The application of environmental harmless technology as an effective means to improve the economic efficiency of enterprises, reduce pollution, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises will surely be recognized by more and more companies and become their realistic choice. The packaging and food machinery industry has consciously and unconsciously entered the field of environmental protection in market development. In the tide of green environment, green packaging and green food for the benefit of the whole society, the environmental protection equipment and technology are given as a systematic project to a high degree. The emphasis will be on the development of the packaging and food machinery industry.
At present, the country is implementing the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region. At the same time, it has repeatedly stressed that in the process of developing the western region, we must strengthen our awareness of environmental protection, protect the ecological environment, and consider long-term benefits for future generations. In the strategy of developing the western region, food industry, packaging industry, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, deputy and fisheries will develop rapidly and will inevitably bring market opportunities to environmental protection technologies and equipment. The packaging and food machinery industry must expand the market for environmental protection technology and equipment while entering the western development market. Building a green home with the people of the western region is an unshirkable responsibility of our industry.
3. Exploring the development of environmental protection equipment and technology markets in the packaging and food machinery industry To illustrate the issues, several areas in the packaging and food machinery industry are introduced and analyzed, and these areas are the key to encourage the development of China's environmental protection industry. In the field, we can see the importance of developing environmental protection equipment and technology markets in the packaging and food machinery industry.
1. Production of complete dry protein feed equipment for alcoholic waste Production of complete dry protein feed equipment for alcoholic waste has been listed in item 55 (first batch) of environmental protection equipment (products) encouraged by the State. The main indicators and technical requirements are: water consumption <20tîž„t feed, steam consumption <2.2tîž„t feed, electricity consumption <118kw hîž„t feed, feed protein content>27%, feed moisture content <10%.
The disposal of spent liquor from an alcohol plant is an old problem. For a long time, it has been listed as the focus of pollution control and resource development and comprehensive utilization of the wine industry. At present, there are more than 800 alcohol plants in the country, of which about 50% deal with waste lees. However, the proportion of manufacturers that truly meet the standard is small. In addition, there are about 200 companies that can produce sugar alcohol in the national sugar factories (over 5,000 tons). At present, the pollution control and comprehensive utilization of the waste liquor of sugar alcohols has not been basically solved.
The production technology and equipment of alcohol dry whole protein feed has been in the alcohol industry for a long time, but the quality and technical level of the product can not always meet the needs of users, and there is still a big gap between the technology level of foreign equipment and equipment. The production process of alcohol dry whole protein feed is mainly:
The dehydration of the dregs → drying → packaged dehydration solution → the concentration of which the dewatered dregs has a moisture content of about 60% is good, and after drying, it can greatly save energy consumption. At present, the domestic and foreign production lines for the dehydration equipment of the distillers all use horizontal centrifuges, and the rotation speed of the centrifuge drum can be as high as 4000 rpm or more. China's development and production of high-speed solid-liquid separation horizontal centrifuges have been carried out for a long time, due to deficiencies in machining accuracy, materials, heat treatment, basic components (bearings, seals, etc.), As a result, the reliability, stability, and technical performance of horizontal centrifuges cannot meet the requirements for use, which has become a bottleneck restricting the production of dry alcohol feeds. In addition, the device for concentrating the distillers' grains of distiller's grains is also very important. For overseas production, a concentrated evaporator with more than five effects is used. The dehydration solution is condensed and evaporated by the waste heat of the dryer, and the concentrate is added back again.
