Chapter 41 Mayor’s inspection, river management

 October 1, 2017, National Day.

On this day of national celebration, Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental sanitation in Luzhou City, which belongs to Longhua County, is still busy at work. According to the planned schedule, he came to Longhua County to conduct research. Senior officials of Longhua County

Accompanied by Wang Zhibo.

Their first stop was to Qingshui River, known as the mother river of Longhua County.

There is almost no garbage in the river. The water is sparkling and has no stench. If you look closely, you can see groups of fish and shrimp playing in the water.

There are willow trees on the river bank, and fishermen are fishing leisurely on the river embankment from time to time.

Just looking at this scene makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Zexin, deputy mayor of Luzhou City, praised Wang Zhibo and said, "Senior Wang, you have done a good job in environmental sanitation in Longhua County."

"In response to the central government's call, the management of black and smelly water bodies has been excellent."

"Every time I come here for research, I get a surprise."

The last time Liu Zexin, deputy mayor of Luzhou City, came here, the daily processing volume of the [Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant] increased dramatically. The amount of garbage generated in Longhua County every day could not keep up with the amount processed by the garbage treatment plant. In order not to waste

Production capacity is also to produce more organic fertilizers, so [Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant] took the initiative to excavate landfill garbage, excavate river garbage, and excavate river bottom silt.

Thanks to the kindness of Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant, several rivers in Longhua County are showing signs of coming back to life, and the stench is not that strong.

Therefore, under the promotion of senior county official Wang Zhibo, the Longhua County government issued the "River Management Regulations", prohibiting residents from dumping garbage into the river at will, and prohibiting factories near the river from discharging sewage into the river at will.

In this way, several rivers in Longhua County became completely new, and fish and shrimps appeared.

At that time, Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor of Luzhou City, came to investigate. After seeing the river environment in several counties, he was very dissatisfied until he came to Longhua County. The clear river water in Longhua County left a deep impression on him.

It is a strong compliment to the team of Longhua County for a job well done.

However, the several rivers in Longhua County at that time were actually mostly superficial.

What does it mean?

The river water is clear on the surface, but due to industrial pollution, the heavy metal content in the river water seriously exceeds the standard, which in turn affects the food ecological chain in the river water.

Although some people came to fish at that time, no one dared to eat the fish they caught!

The excessive amount of heavy metals is too serious.

Just like the Great Lakes in the United States.

Before the 1970s, the Great Lakes in the United States suffered from serious industrial pollution due to the developed industries around the lakes.

One night in 1969, Lake Erie in Cleveland even burned directly, which directly led to the promulgation of the U.S. Clean Water Act in 1972, which was the first environmental protection law in human history.

But pollution is easy to control but difficult to control.

Mercury, lead, and cadmium have long been seriously exceeding standards in the silt of the Great Lakes. Due to the enrichment effect, heavy metals in other organisms in the lake ecology have also seriously exceeded standards.

Although the content of these heavy metals in fish meat in the lake has been declining year by year since the 1970s.

However, in 2017, there were reports that the mercury content in fish meat in some places has increased, but the specific reason is unknown.

The report also said that fish from the Great Lakes are still dangerous, and it is recommended that pregnant women and children not eat them, while adults are advised to eat no more than a few fish per month.

The river in Longhua County is in a similar situation. On the surface, it looks very clear and clean, but in fact, the heavy metals in the river water exceed the standard.

...Wang Zhibo, a senior official in Longhua County, looked ashamed when he heard the praise from Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin. He said, "Actually, I really don't dare to take credit for this. It is mainly the credit of [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.]."
"Huh?" Vice Mayor Liu Zexin's eyes moved.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, explained, "The predecessor of [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] is Longhua County's [Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant]."

"Oh." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin suddenly realized. He remembered that this domestic waste treatment plant in Longhua County was an environmental protection enterprise that had been in the news and praised by senior officials.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, added next to him, "The parent company of [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] is [Chaoqun Group]."

"[Chaoqun Group], ah, a big company! It really has a big responsibility." Vice Mayor Liu Zexin praised.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with emotion, "It's really true!"

"[Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] has been very proactive after contracting the water affairs of Longhua County. It transformed the original [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] and increased its daily sewage treatment capacity to 180,000 tons.

It also spent money to repair old pipes and connect sewage pipes in towns and villages. All the nearly 140,000 tons of sewage produced in the entire Longhua County every day flowed to the renovated [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] for treatment. Only when the treatment standards were met, it was

It will be injected into the reservoir or into the river."

"The amount of this project is not small, and the investment is not small." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said with a slight expression.

"Yes!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, nodded in response, "[Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] does more than just that. They also take the initiative to contact factories in the county."

"Oh, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd? Senior official Wang, tell me." Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin became interested, "It's not about the production sewage, right? There is a difference between production sewage and domestic sewage.

But the processing techniques are very different."

"Mayor Liu, you are absolutely right. This company's goal is to produce sewage. They found factories and industrial parks in the county and said they could undertake their production sewage treatment, including industrial waste, and the cost is only theirs.

I handle 50 to 70 percent of it myself," explained Wang Zhibo, a senior county official.

"What do they do? Customize sewage treatment solutions for each manufacturer? Or build a new industrial sewage treatment plant?"

"No, they added pipelines to flow wastewater from factories or industrial parks into municipal sewage pipes, directly to the [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant]!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with a strange expression.

"All factories? No distinction?" asked Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin.

"Yes!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, nodded.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said a little angrily.

There are certain differences in the treatment processes for different industrial wastewaters.

Generally speaking, in a city, the pipelines of industrial sewage and domestic sewage are separated. Although during operation, the domestic sewage pipelines cannot avoid the inflow of industrial sewage, the proportion is not high and is within the acceptable range.

Inside.

But it all flows into domestic sewage pipes, which is a bit unreasonable.

"Didn't the county government persuade or stop it?" Vice Mayor Liu Zexin asked accusingly.

Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, smiled bitterly and said, "[Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] said that it has used new technology and assured our government that there will never be any accidents. If there is environmental pollution or other violations of the law, we will

They are willing to bear corresponding legal responsibilities and compensate."

"The county cannot suppress the independent initiative of enterprises, so..."

"So we compromised, right?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Of course not. The county government later went to [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] for many investigations and found that they indeed have complete domestic sewage and industrial sewage treatment processes. The treated water has reached the level of recycled water and drinking water.

We only agreed to the standards." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, defended himself.

"Really?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin's expression became surprised.

"Yes! And [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] took the initiative to invite us to supervise them. We can also arrange for water quality specialists to be stationed. We can also arrange water quality detectors at the drainage outlets to directly connect to the county's environmental protection department."

"This is a strange thing! This is the first time I heard that an enterprise requires strict supervision of its own industry." Vice Mayor Liu Zexin laughed.

"I think it's because they are so talented and bold! [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] is confident because it is backed by [Chaoqun Group]! But this [rely] is not the power of power, but the power of scientific and technological strength!" said a senior county official.

Wang Zhibo said.

After hearing this, Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin felt that it made sense, nodded, and suddenly became interested in [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.]. He asked senior county official Wang Zhibo, "In this case, Senior Official Wang, please take me to this company."

Let’s learn from the company.”

County official Wang Zhibo looked embarrassed.

"Is there a problem?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked in a skeptical tone.

"That's not true! But there is a [small sewage treatment station] built by [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] ahead. Why don't you go and take a look?" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official asked.

"[Small sewage treatment station]? What is this used for?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked strangely.

"Black and smelly water!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said without thinking.

"In the past, Longhua County was not strict about environmental protection. Industrial sewage was illegally discharged, and heavy metals in river water exceeded the standard. Now that the country's "New Environmental Protection Law" has come out, factories do not dare to go as far as before, but the problem of water bodies is

It was left behind, and this [small sewage treatment station] was used by Bikong Environmental Protection Company to deal with this problem." said Wang Zhibo, a senior county official.

"Oh, is this required by the county government?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that the cost of treating black and smelly water bodies is not low. Longhua County's finances are relatively tight, so... this was actively implemented by [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.], and the county government only gave some support."

County official Wang Zhibo said with a smile.

"Playing tricks on me, Lao Wang, the party cadres are not interested in this! Let me be frank, how much did the county government spend on this? What is the effect?"

"The effect is definitely not good. After testing, the heavy metal content in several rivers in Longhua County has dropped significantly. As long as the source input is controlled, it will definitely not be a problem for the rivers in Longhua County to restore their previous ecological environment." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said loudly.
"What about the cost? How much did the county government invest?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"Eighty thousand...well, no, one hundred thousand, around one hundred thousand." Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, had no choice but to reply in a low voice.

"What?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said in a horrified tone. He took a deep look at Wang Zhibo and said with some excitement, "Take me to this processing station to have a look."

"Okay, Mayor Liu, come this way!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, quickly led the way.

Half an hour later, they took a car to the upper reaches of the Qingshui River in Longhua County, which is also the most polluted place.

The roar of the water pump keeps ringing.

When Vice Mayor Liu Zexin got off the car, he saw a building covering an area of ​​less than 100 square meters, with the words [Qingshui River Sewage Treatment Station] written on it.

The pipe of the water pump is connected to the river, and the water is continuously pumped out and flows into the sewage treatment station. After some process, the white water flows out from another pipe in the sewage treatment station and flows back into the Qingshui River.

.

"Is this using modern molecular membrane filtration technology?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin asked.

"..." After thinking for a while, senior county official Wang Zhibo said, "Actually, there are only a few trees planted inside."

"Ah?" Vice Mayor Liu Zexin has a mouth as big as a duck egg, and he doesn't have the calm style of a cadre at all.

County official Wang Zhibo snickered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He said seriously, "Mayor Liu, I heard Mr. Wang from Bikong Company say that this is their parent company - [Chaoqun Group] Biological Laboratory Research and Culture

The ability of the new product to enrich heavy metals is more than a hundred times stronger than that of water hyacinth!"

"It is on this basis that they created a new process for biological sewage treatment."

"A hundred times? Senior official Wang, are you lying to me?" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said in disbelief.

"It's absolutely true!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, said with certainty, "There is just a tree inside. After the river water is pumped in, the heavy metals are absorbed by the roots of the tree, and then it is discharged directly. And the quality of the water we discharge is also

After checking, the metal content is almost negligible."

"The development of biotechnology is really changing with each passing day!" Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said with emotion after confirming the true situation.

"Yes!" Wang Zhibo, a senior county official, also echoed, "Mayor Liu, do you want to go over to [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.] for an inspection?"

Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin was naturally happy to go. At this time, he had an idea brewing in his heart.

More than forty minutes later.

They came to the [Longhua Sewage Treatment Plant] acquired by [Bikong Environmental Protection Development Co., Ltd.].

Wang Hang, the general manager of the company, has been waiting here for a long time after receiving the instructions.

Before this, as the director of the [Bikong Domestic Waste Treatment Plant], Wang Hang had dealt with Liu Zexin, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental sanitation, many times.

The two of them are no strangers!

As soon as they met, Deputy Mayor Liu Zexin said to Wang Hang in a bad tone, "Okay, Manager Wang, you are hiding this good thing and don't let me know about it!"

Wang Hang quickly cried out, "How dare you, Mayor Liu! This is also a technology developed by the group. It has only been used for a few months and is still in the trial operation stage!"

"Anyway, I will remember you, Mr. Wang! You have to give me a satisfactory answer today." Vice Mayor Liu Zexin has never spoken to Wang Hang in such a [kind] tone before, just to bring them closer.

Relationship, in fact, it is not Wang Hang who has greater utilization value.

Wang Hang also knew it well and accompanied the acting, "Yes, yes, I will definitely satisfy you."

Vice Mayor Liu Zexin then said, "Well, Mr. Wang, please introduce your situation to me."

"Okay, Mayor Liu!" Wang Hang glanced at the county official calmly, and then said.
