ESG Report 2019

ENERGY CONSERVATION OPTIMIZATION PROJECTS OF THE YEAR Optimized the water production processes of the purified water system to eliminate excessive water production and reduce power consumption of facilities Secondary use of high-pressure exhaust in the production plant to reduce demand for steam Reconstructed the expansion vessel and used the hydraulic jet pump to recycle the original waste gas Increased the raw material concentration by optimizing the process, reduced the equipment load of the production plant and lowered electricity consumption Reconstruction and expansion of acidic wastewater MVR project, which further compressed steam to circulate heat and reduced demand for steam 62 U n d e r a w e l l - e s t a b l i s h e d e n e r g y consumption has been enhanced. During the management system, Inner Mongolia Year, apart from continuing the strict Company implements energy conservation i m p l e m e n t a t i o n o f r e g u l a r e n e r g y work from different aspects every year. conservation measures in factories and Through regular inspections of the factories' offices, Inner Mongolia Company also machinery operation, investigation of the implemented different types of energy-saving feasibility of various technological updates optimization projects to improve energy a n d t r a n s f o r ma t i o n s a n d p r a c t i c a l efficiency and provide new ways of reducing implementation of energy conservation consumption and conserving energy. measures, the efficiency of energy Innovated the production processes to reduce energy consumption Through analysis of energy consumption in production plants, we formulated feasible and rigorous performance assessments, and refined the Company's energy saving and consumption reduction assessment and reward mechanism Incorporated energy consumption indicators into the annual assessment of each production plant Acknowledged the production plants or individuals with outstanding performance in carrying out energy conservation work ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN PRODUCTION PLANTS ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN OFFICES Prioritized the purchase of the energy conservation equipment or products with national certifications, adopted environmentally-friendly and energy-saving electrical appliances and equipment, and gradually eliminated the equipment with high energy consumption and low efficiency Reduced the power consumption of lighting equipment, turned on lighting only when necessary, and no lighting was turned on persistently, under the absence of workers, or during daylight Set computers, printers, copiers and other office equipment to low-consumption sleeping mode automatically when they were not in use, so as to reduce standby power consumption Made requirements on the operating temperature of the air conditioner, and not turning on air conditioning during holidays or when there were only few people working overtime Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2019 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
