Two directions of sustainable development of pharmaceutical industry: green production, energy saving and environmental protection

Direction 2: Energy conservation and environmental protection

The pharmaceutical industry is also a major energy consumption, in the era of the prevailing low-carbon economy, pharmaceutical companies shoulder important social responsibilities, and it is imperative to promote the innovation, application and development of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies. Energy conservation in the pharmaceutical industry mainly refers to the conservation of water, electricity and steam.

In terms of the application status of energy-saving technology in the pharmaceutical industry, taking electric energy as an example, the electric energy consumption of the pharmaceutical industry mainly comes from two aspects: power energy consumption and lighting power consumption, of which the power energy consumption is saved mainly by replacing the original common frequency motor by frequency conversion control motor. For the saving of lighting energy consumption, under the premise of meeting GMP standards, the appropriate lighting mode and reasonable selection of lighting control mode are selected to achieve the purpose of reducing lighting energy consumption.

In the case of China's energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection policies continue to advance, the task of energy conservation and environmental protection in the pharmaceutical industry is still severe, how to achieve energy conservation and environmental protection goals in the whole industry, scientific and technological innovation is the key. Taking screw machine as an example, the current domestic screw machine manufacturers are still pursuing the goal of more energy saving products, according to the current situation, even if the manufacturer's energy saving can reach 1%, it is already a great challenge. But its energy-saving road still needs to continue. At present, many domestic pharmaceutical equipment companies are focusing on opportunities, strengthening innovation investment, and realizing the rapid development of their own enterprises while achieving product upgrades.

The World Environmental Expo 2021 will be held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center (Hongqiao) from June 2-4. The exhibition covers the fields of comprehensive management, water, air, intelligent environmental protection, environmental monitoring, resource regeneration, soil, noise 8 environmental pollution control, bringing together more than 1,600 environmental enterprises, with an exhibition area of 150,000 square meters, and has become a large-scale global environmental protection expo platform. The online environmental technology exhibition hall synchronously started by the platform will show you the new environmental protection engineering technologies with application value in the fields of wastewater treatment, waste gas treatment, solid waste disposal, and environmental restoration throughout the year.
