The Green Development Path of Hubei Yadong Cement

        Hubei Yadong Cement has been settled in Yangluo, Xinzhou District, Wuhan City for 20 years since June 2005. In the 20-year development process, based in Yangluo, deeply cultivating Wuhan, providing high-quality cement building materials for the urban construction of Greater Wuhan, and actively practicing social responsibility for energy conservation and carbon reduction, we have embarked on a green development path in the bustling metropolis.

                Green Development - Hubei Yadong Cement Has Confidence

        Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province, where the Yangtze River and the Han River intersect, earning it the nickname of "Jiangcheng". As a cement manufacturing enterprise located on the beautiful banks of the Yangtze River, Hubei Yadong Cement has shouldered a unique mission since its establishment, not only to develop industry, but also to balance environmental protection and integrate into the city of Wuhan. To this end, all colleagues have worked hard for 20 years to create a brand new green park style modern cement plant that subverts traditional cognition, and have written a beautiful poem in the history of cement industry development in Wuhan.

        Entering the entrance of the Hubei Yadong Cement Xinzhou Manufacturing Plant, one is greeted by vibrant green plants, clean and tidy ground, and lifelike architectural paintings that complement the blue sky and white clouds, making one feel as if they are in a garden. The prominent Far Eastern Group corporate culture spirit of "sincerity, diligence, simplicity, prudence, innovation" and the production slogan of "safety production, energy conservation and environmental protection" are embedded on the walls of the production workshop, constantly reminding every employee of Hubei Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) to keep in mind the corporate spirit and social responsibility, and strive for the company's green development.

        The electronic screen displays real-time monitoring data from the production line and environmental protection line, synchronized with the provincial and municipal monitoring background. The emission values of dust, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides in the factory are not only lower than the local special limit standards in Wuhan, but also lower than the national limit standards. In other words, the standards set by Hubei Yadong Cement for themselves are stricter than national and market standards. Since its establishment in 2005, we have always regarded technological innovation and energy conservation and emission reduction as top priorities, and the concept of green development has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

        Comprehensive improvement - Hubei Yadong Cement investment is very generous

        The path of "green development" for Hubei Yadong Cement starts with leveraging environmental hard technology and enhancing environmental soft power.

        1. Carry out organized (centralized) emission control: The company actively introduces the most advanced environmental protection equipment and production processes, including the construction of SN-CR denitrification facilities to reduce the concentration of nitrogen oxide emissions; Introduce an internationally advanced SCR selective catalytic reduction denitrification system to stabilize nitrogen oxide emission concentrations below 100mg/m ³; In addition, desulfurization systems will be constructed for two kiln tails and preheating machines, and dust collectors will be upgraded and renovated to achieve ultra-low emissions.

        2. Carry out unorganized (spill prevention) emission management: Hubei Yadong Cement strengthens emission management in various links such as material transportation, material storage, and product packaging in accordance with relevant standards to prevent pollution from spreading. For example, dust collection and spray dust reduction shall be carried out at each raw material transfer point, closed raw material storage shed shall be covered, raw material delivery and metering system at the wharf shall be reconstructed, and dust collection system, automatic bag inserting machine and central vacuum cleaner shall be added in the cement packaging room; Repair and blacken the road at the factory entrance, strengthen the comprehensive improvement of the factory environment, carry out environmental lighting, workshop painting, factory greening, etc., create a garden style modern factory, and ensure the leading position and production efficiency of the enterprise in the industry.

                Circular Economy - Hubei Yadong Cement is very impressive

        Developing a circular economy is a necessary path for green transformation and achieving sustainable development. Hubei Yadong Cement adheres to the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious development" and explores new ways of energy conservation and environmental protection.

        One is to build a pure low-temperature waste heat power station that is compatible with the new dry cement clinker production line, using the exhaust gas and smoke temperature emitted from the kiln head and tail to recover waste heat for power generation. The annual power generation is about 70 million kWh, reducing coal consumption and lowering emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants; The second is to upgrade and transform sewage treatment facilities, achieve rainwater and sewage separation and domestic sewage treatment, so that after sewage treatment, it can reach the first-class A-level discharge standard, and then be recycled and reused for garden irrigation, road cleaning, and watering.

        On the other hand, Hubei Yadong Cement also effectively utilizes the waste generated by steelmaking in steel plants - electric furnace slag and converter slag; Waste generated by non-ferrous metal smelting plants - metal slag; Waste generated by chemical plants - sulfuric acid slag, phosphogypsum; Waste from coal-fired power plants - desulfurization gypsum; Waste tailings debris from gold, copper, and iron mines; The waste high magnesium limestone from limestone mines and the debris from crushed stone yards are used as raw materials and processed through advanced technology to produce various types of high-quality cement. Within the three years of 2021-2023 alone, the comprehensive utilization of various solid waste reached 1.66 million tons, which not only improved the quality of the ecological environment but also achieved the comprehensive utilization of resources.

        Hubei Yadong Cement takes on social responsibility, actively integrates into the overall economic and social development of Wuhan, fully utilizes the advantages of the new dry cement clinker production line, and uses cement kilns to synergistically treat urban domestic sludge and heavy metal polluted soil projects. The annual disposal capacity reaches 60000 tons and 100000 tons respectively, making positive contributions to the environmental governance of Wuhan.

        Looking to the future - Hubei Yadong Cement has' boldness'

        Hubei Yadong Cement always adheres to the corporate culture spirit of Far Eastern Group, which is "sincerity, diligence, simplicity, prudence, and innovation". It actively promotes the transformation and upgrading of the cement industry towards high-end, digital, and green development, making new contributions to the high-quality development of regional economy and the continuous improvement of ecological environment quality. It moves forward courageously on the path of green development!
