Shandong Huaxing Petrochemical Industry Group has been implementing technical upgrades for many years, achieving significant energy and cost savings. These improvements have saved over 5,000 kWh per hour from the main fan, increased the processing capacity by 30 tons per hour, and reduced costs by 70 yuan per ton of production. As a result, the company saves more than 40 million yuan annually through these technological innovations. The author strongly supports this kind of innovation and believes it is essential for sustainable development.
In today's context, the government is promoting a conservation-oriented society, and companies are increasingly embracing energy-saving practices. However, while enthusiasm for building a green enterprise is high, the author has noticed that some organizations focus too much on small-scale efforts like "saving one drop of water, one unit of electricity, and one sheet of paper" without addressing deeper inefficiencies. This approach often leads to minimal results or even negative outcomes. For example, one chemical plant launched a large-scale campaign to reduce waste, but due to outdated technology and inefficient processes, its energy consumption per million yuan of output was higher than industry averages. Despite saving small amounts in daily operations, the company still lost millions in profits due to larger inefficiencies.
This highlights a key issue: while traditional values of thrift and awareness are important, they are not enough on their own. To truly achieve conservation, companies must think innovatively, break away from conventional models, and focus on both technological and management innovations. For instance, Daqing Petrochemical introduced a new high-pressure hydraulic turbine for its 1.2 million-ton-per-year hydrocracking unit. Through technical optimization, they added a small device that saved 2.49 million yuan annually in power costs and 1.42 million yuan in energy consumption.
Another key aspect is management innovation, which helps identify and eliminate inefficiencies at the root. A large chemical enterprise, for example, reduced administrative expenses by 2.85 million yuan through improved management practices, and saved an additional 820,000 yuan annually through bus reform. A petrochemical company in Shandong reported total annual savings of 64.28 million yuan, with 82.5% coming from innovation-driven measures. This clearly shows that innovation is the most effective way to achieve real savings.
In conclusion, while small efforts matter, true sustainability and efficiency come from bold, innovative approaches. Companies should invest in both technology and management reforms to build a truly conservation-oriented future.
