Petrochemical industry VOCs investigation and LDAR work guidelines are solicited again

On April 24, 2015, Li Xinggen, Chairman of our company, participated in the Provincial Law-abiding and Integrity Education Practical Activities Deployment Meeting for Personnel in the Non-Public Ownership Economy organized by the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce and the symposium on 'What depends on a successful career?'

Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection's website issued a letter soliciting opinions on the 'Guidelines for the Investigation of VOCs Pollution Sources in the Petrochemical Industry (Second Draft for Comments)' and the 'Guidelines for Leakage Detection and Repair of Petrochemical Enterprises (Second Draft for Comments)', soliciting opinions on the estimation of VOCs pollution source emissions in the petrochemical industry and the detection and repair of VOCs leakage at equipment and sealing points.

In order to implement the 'Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan' and vigorously promote the prevention and control of volatile organic compounds pollution in the petrochemical industry, we organized the preparation of the 'Guidelines for the Investigation of VOCs Pollution Sources in the Petrochemical Industry (Draft for Comments)' and the 'Guidelines for Leakage Detection and Repair of Petrochemical Enterprises (Draft for Comments)', and publicly solicited opinions on the two documents in May 2015. Based on feedback and related research, we further sorted out the relevant content in the work guide, revised and completed the 'Guidelines for the Investigation of VOCs Pollution Sources in the Petrochemical Industry (Second Draft for Comments)' and 'Guidelines for Leakage Detection and Repair of Petrochemical Enterprises (Second Draft for Comments)', and established EXCEL calculation tables for the estimation methods of each source item, each table comes with a calculation example.

Feedback to our department a few days ago. The electronic version of the materials for soliciting opinions can be searched in the 'Solicitation of Opinions' section of our ministry's website (http://www.mep.gov.cn/).
