Shandong Huaxing Petrochemical Industry Group has been continuously implementing technical upgrades for many years. These improvements have led to significant energy savings—over 5,000 kWh per hour from the main fan—and increased the processing capacity of their equipment by 30 tons per hour. Additionally, production costs have been reduced by 70 yuan per ton. As a result, the company saves more than 40 million yuan annually through these technological innovations. The author strongly supports and advocates for such innovative approaches.
In today’s context, the state is promoting a conservation-oriented society, and companies are increasingly embracing this trend. There is a growing enthusiasm for building sustainable and efficient enterprises. However, the author has noticed that some companies focus too much on small-scale efforts, like "saving one drop of water, one unit of electricity, and one sheet of paper," without addressing the root issues. Some even blindly cut expenses, lacking the awareness that true conservation requires innovation and modernization. This approach often leads to limited or even counterproductive results.
For instance, one chemical company launched a large-scale campaign to save every drop of water, every bit of electricity, and every piece of paper. Yet, due to outdated technology and inefficient processes, its energy consumption per million yuan of output was higher than industry standards. Despite this, the company still managed to make tens of millions in profit each year. In this case, the so-called "small savings" were overshadowed by major inefficiencies, making them almost meaningless.
While the traditional values of diligence and frugality should not be ignored, and awareness of conservation must start from small actions, the author emphasizes that relying solely on minor cost-cutting measures is not enough. True conservation requires thinking outside the box, breaking free from old models, and focusing on innovation as a core strategy.
The author believes that real savings come from technological innovation—improving production processes and upgrading equipment. For example, Daqing Petrochemical introduced an innovative transformation to its 1.2 million-ton-per-year hydrocracking unit, which featured China's first high-pressure hydraulic turbine. By adding a small device, they saved 2.49 million yuan annually in energy costs and another 1.42 million yuan in electricity consumption.
Another key aspect is management innovation. By identifying and eliminating inefficiencies at the source, companies can achieve substantial savings. A large chemical enterprise, for instance, reduced administrative costs by 2.85 million yuan compared to previous years, and saved 820,000 yuan annually through bus reform. A petrochemical company in Shandong shared with the author that it saved a total of 64.28 million yuan throughout the year, with 82.5% of the savings coming from innovation initiatives.
From these examples, it is clear that innovation is the most effective way to achieve real cost savings and build a truly conservation-oriented enterprise.
