On the evening of July 19, the Ministry of Environmental Protection notified to the public that, with the approval of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the first batch of central environmental protection inspections was fully launched in 2016. As of July 19, the eight central environmental protection inspection teams have all completed their inspections.

Following Hebei, 8 provinces, including Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Ningxia, will usher in a new round of central environmental inspections. The level of "environmental imperial commission" sent by the central government this time even surpassed the inspection team leader, which shows the central government's emphasis on environmental protection inspectors.

The "environmental imperial missions" sent by the central government are intensively dispatched to localities. What will they do in the next month? What is the focus of this inspection?

It is reported that, in accordance with the system design, the central environmental protection inspection mainly includes 7 steps: inspection preparation, inspection stationing, inspection report, inspection feedback, transfer and implementation of rectification, and file filing.

For the Henan area:

The Fifth Central Environmental Protection Inspection Team recently entered Henan Province. Judging from the schedule, the inspection team will stay in Henan Province from July 16 to August 16, 2016. The focus of the inspection team's work this time is to solve outstanding environmental problems, implement the main responsibility of environmental protection, further promote the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection in Henan Province, and realize the development of green environmental protection industry:

1. The implementation of environmental protection responsibilities of local governments and relevant departments;

2. The implementation of major legal system measures such as total pollutant discharge control, pollution permits, environmental monitoring, environmental impact assessment, and environmental information disclosure;

3. Strengthen legal publicity and education, and promote public participation in environmental protection;

4. The measures taken and the main problems in the prevention and control of air, water, and soil pollution, environmental protection supervision and law enforcement, and the investigation and punishment of illegal acts.

In this way, what impact does this have on the refractory industry in Henan Province? In fact, it is very simple. Environmental protection is not divided into industries, as long as it is a problem of environmental protection. Then speak with facts, and look at the recent measures taken by the relevant departments of Henan Province.

On July 18, the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the "Notice on Effectively Doing a Good Job in Investigation and Handling of Environmental Issues assigned by the Fifth Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group."

Shangqiu City transfers environmental protection issues to the investigation work

The work required to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, find out the problem as soon as possible, ascertain the responsibility as soon as possible, deal with and hold accountability as soon as possible, the deputy mayor Li Sijie also dismantled and modified the boiler, eliminated the yellow label vehicle, and the atmospheric monitoring station The construction, coal-to-gas and other work have been deployed.

Jiaozuo City starts the battle of Beishan governance

On the morning of June 14, the Jiaozuo Municipal Party Committee held a standing committee (enlarged) meeting to study the governance and environmental protection of Beishan in Jiaozuo City. The meeting emphasized that we must firmly grasp Beishan governance and environmental protection with the determination and courage of the strong men to break their arms, and a battle for Beishan governance will begin immediately. The measures are as follows:

● Demolition of illegal mining enterprises within 10 days

●24-hour patrols to prevent private digging and backlash

● A breakthrough in the investigation and handling of the case in about 20 days

●The chain of interests and umbrella behind the crackdown

Nanyang City's comprehensive environmental improvement is underway

On July 19, the fourth comment meeting on comprehensive environmental improvement in Nanyang City and the working meeting of environmental protection inspectors were held. On the basis of the original, further investigation tasks, focusing on the target, focusing on the key, intensifying work, and resolutely winning the battle of comprehensive environmental improvement; further clarifying the key points, focusing on the key points, comprehensively implementing policies, and effectively focusing on the prevention and control of air pollution.

Zhoukou City fully cooperates with the inspection work, leaving no dead ends or blanks

Environmental protection, development and reform, housing construction, urban management, public security, transportation, agriculture, water conservancy, animal husbandry, industry and information, energy and other departments are the focus of supervision. Departments at all levels should clarify the current problems in environmental protection work and make a list. Consolidate responsibilities, set a schedule, clarify the procedures and standards for solving problems, and truly solve existing problems in place without leaving dead ends.

In addition, Puyang City, Xuchang City, Sanmenxia City and many other prefecture-level cities have also introduced relevant environmental improvement measures. Henan will set up a 1,000-person environmental inspection team to supervise various departments at all levels.

The seriousness can be summarized in one sentence: According to insiders of the environmental protection department, if the environment is allowed to deteriorate, Henan will be surpassed by Hebei and will be the bottom of the country.

This inspection also covers a wide range of refractory materials. Local fluoride salt plants, sulfuric acid plants, carbon plants, alumina plants, refractory brick plants and even part of the mining and raw material transportation in Henan have been affected to some extent.

Among them, some mines in Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo, Sanmenxia and other areas were required to temporarily suspend production for 45 days, especially mines near the Yellow River and other waters, and the suspension time was close to two months. Moreover, it is the rainy season, and environmental problems caused by rainy weather and rain erosion also have an adverse effect on mining.

In addition, the local area has stricter requirements on the transportation conditions of irritating liquids such as ore that are prone to fly dust pollution and liquid caustic soda. This has caused some refractory raw material enterprises to suffer a greater impact on the production of refractory raw materials, and the overall transportation cost has also increased.

As of now, the inspection has not had a substantial impact on the production of local refractory materials and downstream industry companies. Given that all companies have certain inventory guarantees, the short-term contraction or slowdown in the supply of raw materials does not affect current production.

However, the "supervision storm" has only just begun. Once environmental supervision and related measures are strictly implemented for a long time, it will inevitably have a great impact on local industrial enterprises such as refractory materials and coal. This is due to operating profit, environmental protection rectification, raw material supply market rectification, The four-fold pressure of a weak demand market is likely to have a greater impact on the already sluggish refractory industry.

Henan Hecheng Inorganic New Materials Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Hecheng New Materials) focuses on the research and development, production and sales of refractory products, strengthens cooperation with scientific research institutions, conducts technical research on new refractory materials, and improves the company’s refractory material technical level and Product grade.
