ESG Report 2018

Carried out transformation in factories' power conservation projects , where 25 fermentation tanks are transformed and 22 % of power was conserved on average Original impellers in factories were replaced with three - dimensional energy conversation impellers , where approximately 25 . 6 million kWh was saved per year Maintained boiler furnace wall and fire separation wall intact to avoid air leakage and smoke shortcut Noticed the changes of steam , air and electricity usage from time to time , actively coordinated with various plants to guarantee a balanced supply of steam , air and electric power Improved the operation technique of stokers , enhanced combustion efficiency to save fuels Prioritized the selection of high - efficiency and low - consumption equipment when renewing and transforming boiler room equipment Acknowledged the production plants or individuals with outstanding performance in carrying out energy conservation work ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN PRODUCTION PLANTS Prioritized the purchase of the energy conservation equipment or products with national certifications, and adopted environmentally-friendly and energy - saving electric appliances and equipment , gradually eliminated the equipment with high energy consumption and low efficiency Reduced the power consumption of lighting equipment , turned on necessary lighting only when in need , and no lighting was turned on persistently , under the absence of workers , or during daylight Set computers , printers , copy machines and other office equipment to low - consumption sleeping mode automatically when not in use , so as to reduce standby power consumption Advocated the use of air conditioning for 1 hour less every day , and not turning on air conditioning when there were only few people working overtime or during holidays ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN OFFICE MAJOR ENERGY CONSERVATION PROJECT 1 : MOTHER LIQUOR OF AMOXICILLIN RECYCLING The amoxicillin mother liquor is produced during the production of amoxicillin . After distillation , the mother liquor has a high content of methanol in the remaining condensate , hence it has been regarded by the Inner Mongolia Company as one of the potential materials for recycling in the production process . During the Year, Inner Mongolia Company has added a 100-ton waste liquid incinerator. As the incinerator needs to use high-calorific liquid fuel, researchers then drafted an innovative project to separate the methanol from the condensate as a boiler fuel for the waste liquid incinerator, so as to reduce the use of natural gas. After a series of investigations , experiments , program amendments , system modifications and verification of equipment performances , the recycling project was officially put into operation of the production plants during the Year . All of the production processes have met the control requirements , and the recycled methanol has also met the energy demand of the incinerator. The monthly fuel saving amounts to RMB150 , 000 . In addition to reducing energy use , the technology used in this recycling project can simultaneously reduce COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations in wastewater , greatly reducing the cost and pressure of environmental protection . 17 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2018 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
