1. Overview
1.1 Project Background
Hunan Linyuan Paper Co., Ltd., the former Luhu Paper Mill was partly put into production on January 1, 1993. In 2003, it was renamed Hunan Linyuan Paper Co., Ltd. Occupying a land area of 219.31 mu added with an outside raw material field of 135 mu, the company has more than 420 employees. The registered capital of the company is 5 million yuan.
The company has a chemical-bleaching reed pulp production line with annual capacity of 51,000t, 2 sets of 1760mm paper machine and 1 set of 2640 stationery paper machine. The designed annual production capacity of stationery paper is 51,000t. The main products include writing paper and wood-free paper with a ready market around the country. The company has complete thermal, power and water supply system, sewage treatment system and machinery equipment maintenance, storage, dock and service facilities.
In order to improve environmental benefits, reduce effluent volume, the AOX and dioxin pollution in the bleaching system, Hunan Linyuan Paper Co., Ltd. intends to add a oxygen delignification process to the bleaching system and transform existing hypochlorite bleaching into ECF bleaching.
According to the requirements of the “Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China”, the “Law of the People's Republic of China on Appraisal of Environment Impacts” and the “Regulations on the Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection”, Hunan Linyuan Paper Co., Ltd. has entrusted Henan Lansen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct the environmental impact assessment of the “Technical Renovation Project of 51,000t Pulp ECF Bleaching System of Hunan Linyuan Paper Co., Ltd.” and prepare the environmental impact statement for this project. According to World Bank Group’s “Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Paper Industry” and other relevant requirements, the Monitoring Plan for Environmental Management should be prepared.
