Features: This standard is a guiding standard, applicable to enterprises producing ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol for conducting cleaner production audits, assessing cleaner production potential and opportunities, evaluating cleaner production performance, and establishing a cleaner production performance announcement system. Based on meeting national and local environmental standards, this standard is formulated according to the current industry technology, equipment level, and management level, and is divided into three levels: Level 1 represents international advanced cleaner production standards, Level 2 represents domestic advanced cleaner production standards, and Level 3 represents basic domestic cleaner production standards. With the continuous advancement and development of production technology, this standard will also be revised regularly, typically every three to five years. According to the general requirements of cleaner production, cleaner production indicators are generally divided into six categories: process and equipment requirements, resource and energy utilization indicators, product indicators, pollutant generation indicators (before end-of-pipe treatment), waste recovery and utilization indicators, and environmental management requirements. Considering the complexity and lengthy processes of chemical production, this standard includes all six categories of indicators mentioned above.
