Hydropower forging refers to the important parts used in hydroelectric power generation equipment, its quality and performance directly affect the efficiency and safety of hydroelectric power generation equipment. With the transformation of the global energy structure, hydropower has been widely concerned and applied in the world, and the market demand for hydropower forgings is also growing. However, the environmental impact of hydropower forging production can not be ignored, this paper will analyze the environmental impact of hydropower forging production from the perspective of life cycle evaluation, and put forward the corresponding sustainable development measures.
The production process of hydropower forging mainly includes resource mining, material selection, production technology, waste treatment and other links. The following life cycle evaluation will be carried out from these aspects:
Resource mining: The raw materials required for the production of hydropower forgings are mainly steel, alloy and other metal materials, and the mining process of these materials will have a certain impact on the environment, such as land destruction, water pollution and so on.
Material selection: The materials selected in the production process of hydropower forgings should have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and should be as environmentally friendly and renewable materials as possible to reduce the impact on the environment.
Production process: The production process of hydropower forgings mainly includes smelting, forging, heat treatment and other processes, which will produce a large amount of waste gas, wastewater and solid waste in the production process, causing a greater impact on the environment.
Waste treatment: The waste generated in the production process of hydropower forgings should be properly treated and recycled to reduce environmental pollution.
The environmental impact of hydropower forgings production process mainly includes noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution and so on. The following will be analyzed from these aspects:
Noise pollution: The mechanical equipment used in the production process of hydropower forgings will produce a lot of noise, which will have a certain impact on the life and work of the surrounding residents.
Air pollution: The waste gas produced in the production process of hydropower forgings contains a large number of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, causing serious pollution to the environment.
Water pollution: The wastewater produced in the production process of hydropower forgings contains a large number of heavy metal ions, oils and other pollutants, if untreated directly discharged into rivers or lakes, it will cause serious pollution to the water body, affect the growth and reproduction of aquatic organisms, and even pose a threat to the safety of human drinking water.
In order to reduce the environmental impact of hydropower forging production and achieve sustainable development, the following measures can be taken:
Use environmentally friendly materials: As far as possible, choose environmentally friendly and renewable materials as raw materials for hydropower forgings to reduce the impact on the environment.
Improve the production process: the use of advanced production processes and equipment, reduce the amount of waste gas, waste water and solid waste, reduce the impact on the environment.
Strengthen waste treatment: the waste generated in the production process is properly treated and recycled to achieve the reuse of resources and reduce environmental pollution.
Promote clean production: Promote clean production in the production process, the use of low pollution, low energy consumption of production methods and equipment, reduce the impact on the environment.
Strengthen environmental supervision: Establish a sound environmental supervision system, strictly supervise and punish environmental pollution in the production process of hydropower forgings, and ensure that enterprises comply with environmental protection laws and regulations.
The environmental impact of hydropower forging production cannot be ignored, in order to achieve sustainable development, we must take effective measures to reduce the impact on the environment. By adopting environmentally friendly materials, improving production process, strengthening waste treatment and promoting cleaner production, the environmental impact of hydropower forging production can be effectively reduced. At the same time, strengthening environmental supervision is also an important means to ensure sustainable development. Only the joint efforts of enterprises and society can achieve the sustainable development of hydropower forging production.
