This paper mainly discusses the environmental protection and safety problems in the production process of hydropower forgings. According to the current situation of hydropower forging production, the existing environmental protection and safety problems are analyzed, and the corresponding solutions and development suggestions are put forward.
Hydropower forging production is an important part of forging industry, its products are widely used in hydraulic engineering, petrochemical, aerospace and other fields. However, in the production process, due to various reasons, often produce a series of environmental protection and safety problems, such as environmental pollution, resource consumption, accident risk and so on. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the environmental protection and safety management of hydropower forging production.
Discharge of hazardous substances
In the production process of hydropower forgings, a lot of waste gas, waste water and solid waste are often produced. These wastes contain a large number of harmful substances, such as heavy metals, organic matter, dust, etc., directly discharged into the environment will cause serious pollution to air, water and soil.
Safety accident risk
The production of hydropower forgings requires the use of high temperature and high pressure equipment, and there are certain risks in the operation process. Improper maintenance or misoperation of the equipment may easily lead to safety accidents, such as mechanical injuries, burns, and explosions. In addition, due to the poor working environment, workers are exposed to harmful factors such as noise and dust for a long time, which is also easy to cause occupational diseases.
Backward production technology
At present, some hydropower forging production enterprises still use the traditional production process, equipment aging, high energy consumption, large waste generation. These backward production processes not only cause serious environmental pollution, but also increase the risk of safety accidents.
Environmental awareness and safety responsibility is not strong
Some enterprises lack sufficient understanding of environmental protection and safety issues, and ignore the importance of environmental protection and safety in order to pursue economic benefits. In the production process, there is often a fluke mentality, ignoring the prevention and treatment of waste discharge and safety accidents.
Improve the production process
Promote advanced production processes and equipment, such as hydroelectric forging precision forming technology, energy saving and emission reduction technology, reduce energy consumption and waste generation, reduce environmental pollution and the risk of safety accidents.
Strengthen supervision
Government departments should strengthen the supervision of hydropower forgings production enterprises, strictly implement environmental protection and safety regulations, and severely punish enterprises that illegally discharge pollutants and have safety risks. At the same time, we will establish a sound environmental protection and safety monitoring system to detect and deal with environmental protection and safety problems in a timely manner.
Improve corporate environmental awareness and safety responsibility
Enterprises should establish correct environmental awareness and safety concepts, and incorporate environmental protection and safety into enterprise development strategy and daily management. Strengthen employees’ environmental protection and safety training, improve employees’ environmental awareness and safety skills, and establish a sound internal environmental protection and safety management system.
Through the introduction of advanced precision forming technology, a domestic hydropower forging production enterprise has successfully reduced energy consumption and waste generation, and reduced the risk of environmental pollution and safety accidents. At the same time, the enterprise has strengthened internal environmental protection and safety management, improved employees’ environmental awareness and safety skills, and achieved a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits.
A foreign manufacturer of hydropower forgings adopted circular economy and green supply chain management model to maximize the utilization of resources and minimize the discharge of waste. The company has established a sound environmental protection and safety monitoring system, timely detection and handling of environmental protection and safety problems, and has established a good corporate image and social reputation.
Environmental protection and safety problems in the production of hydropower forgings cannot be ignored. These problems can be effectively solved by improving the production process, strengthening supervision and enhancing the environmental awareness and safety responsibility of enterprises. The government and enterprises should work together to promote the green and safe development of hydropower forgings production.
