Under the "dual carbon" strategy, green manufacturing is an important task to achieve industrial transformation, and it is in line with the general trend of global green development. As the core support unit of green manufacturing, green factory plays a key role in the implementation of low-carbon development. The "14th Five-Year Plan" Industrial Green Development Plan proposes to strengthen the benchmarking of green manufacturing, aiming to guide enterprises to build "green factories" in accordance with the principle of "plant intensification, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resources, and low energy carbonization", and select advanced cases to set benchmarks for the industry.
As a long-time practitioner and enabler of sustainability, approximately 60% of Honeywell's new product development starts with the goal of improving customers' environmental performance and social benefits. More than half of the products Honeywell manufactures in China come from national or provincial "green factories." Honeywell is currently in the process of green factory certification for a number of plants, and looks forward to working with its Chinese partners to promote the sustainable development of many industries and help achieve a more low-carbon, efficient, safe and healthy sustainable future.
In the construction stage of the plant, not only to achieve zero discharge of phosphorus-containing industrial wastewater, but also to promote the comprehensive utilization of general industrial solid waste. The factory certifies the carbon footprint of its main products, establishes a number of ISO management systems, and carries out more than 20 sustainable development projects related to the recycling of production materials, equipment and emissions, optimizing the production process of the factory to achieve cost reduction and efficiency, energy saving and consumption reduction.
The facility has advanced catalyst and adsorbent production lines, including catalysts for Honeywell's UOP Oleflex™ propane dehydrogenation process and CCR Platforming™ process for continuous catalytic reforming to produce high-octane gasoline, UOP methanol-to-olefin (MTO) catalysts, And molecular sieve adsorbents for oil refining, petrochemical and natural gas processing applications.
Honeywell's Nanjing plant was established in 2007 and is located in Jiangning High-tech Park, Nanjing. After more than ten years of development, it is now a sensor and iot solution center integrating independent research and development, production and process improvement. The factory is Honeywell's largest sensor manufacturing base in China, capable of producing 300 million sensors per year.
Since its operation, the factory has been committed to energy conservation and emission reduction, including promoting the construction of energy management systems, real-time monitoring of the operation of key equipment, fine inspection and analysis of high energy consumption equipment, and the introduction of new energy-saving technologies to upgrade old equipment. At the same time, improve the utilization rate of resources and energy, develop green production technology, reduce the emission of toxic and harmful substances and pollutants in the production process and use process, and continue to carry out greenhouse gas emission verification work, carbon footprint certification of products.
The sensors and other products produced by the plant are commonly found in industrial, Internet of Things, medical equipment, construction machinery and other industries, and are also widely used in China's new energy vehicle market to help improve battery safety and optimize mileage estimation. Taking thermal runaway sensors as an example, Honeywell launched related products in 2020, which are now widely used in more than one million new energy vehicles.
The factory has advanced process, stable quality system and lean manufacturing mode, excellent management team and safety and environmental management system, has been adhering to the strong environmental awareness and green development concept, committed to promote the green transformation and upgrading of industrial manufacturing, to help enterprises, society and the environment to achieve sustainable development.
