The problem of Industrial Pollution in Taiwan
(2) |
In order to solve the problem of water pollution
in the paper industry, new factories were required
to set up equipment for the recovery and treatment
of waste liquid and old factories were urged to
set up the recovery equipment within a time limit.
The Taiwan Sugar Company gave priority to provide
bagasse, a raw material for making paper, to those
factories having waste liquid recovery equipment.
By 1983 four paper companies had set up the equipment
and more than 20 factories stopped to boil the
waste liquid without doing recovery. |

In the electroplate industry, existing large scale
and newly established factories were urged to
adopt continuous automatic electroplating equipment
and electroplating without using cyanide. By 1983,
more than 10 factories had changed to continuos
automatic equipment of electroplating and set
equipment to recover chromic acid. Moreover, another
10 factories had adopted the electroplating equipment
without using cyanide. As for small-scale factories,
they were encouraged to move to special industrial
zones at Kuantien, Minhsiung and Fangyuan. |

In
regard to the petrochemical industry, inspection
over industrial safety and pollution prevention
was carried out every year in order to urge enterprise
to set up a monitoring and warning system for
toxic and hazardous materials as well as automatic
inspection and test system. Special training programs
were also conducted. By 1981, all petrochemical
factories had established an automatic monitoring
and warning system for cyanic acid; the system
for chlorine and other hazardous gases were also
gradually established. Moreover, waste gas and
wastewater recovery systems were also promoted
in the petrochemical industry. |

In
regard to zythepsary, food processing and papermaking,
because these factories emit high concentrations
of organic wastewater, they were encouraged to
set up an evaporate and concentrate system in
order to solve the problem of wastewater, to recover
valuable byproducts, and to save energy. By 1981,
the system had been adopted by many factories. |

For improving air pollution in the iron and steel
industry, the expansion and new establishment
of small and medium steelworks were suspended.
The Taichung Machinery Company was chosen as a
model to demonstrate the technique of "closed-room
dust-collecting" equipment. Small and medium steelworks
located in cities were guided to move out of the
urban area in order to reduce air pollution. |
