Successful Story | Major Domestic Printing Plant
Background and Motivation
In recent years, the Taiwanese government has implemented stringent regulations to address air pollution issues, particularly targeting high-emission industries. The printing industry, due to its generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ozone (O3) during the printing process, has become a focal point for regulatory guidance. Below are the trends for major air pollutants:
PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO: The concentrations of these pollutants have been decreasing year by year.
O3 (Ozone): Despite improvements in other pollutants, ozone concentration still requires further reduction.
Pollution Sources in the Printing Process
The printing process, particularly during deinking and the use of printing inks, releases a significant amount of VOCs such as benzene, toluene, xylene, non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPS). These VOCs undergo photochemical reactions with nitrogen oxides (NOx) to produce ozone (O3), further exacerbating air quality issues.
Regulatory Measures
To address these pollution challenges, the government has established air pollutant emission standards targeting various pollution sources in the printing process. These standards require the adoption of process improvements and end-of-pipe control measures to minimize emissions as much as possible.
Why Choose iAeris Series Air Quality Detectors?
Against this regulatory backdrop, as a well-known large printing plant in Taiwan, the company has proactively taken measures to comply with government regulations and enhance workplace safety. In addition to reducing pollution from inks and equipment, the company introduced iAeris air quality detectors from Sysinno. These detectors provide real-time monitoring of various air quality standards within the factory and during the printing process, ensuring compliance with government regulations, protecting the environment, and safeguarding employee health.
Advantages of iAeris Air Quality Detectors
Real-time Monitoring: iAeris devices continuously monitor the concentration of various pollutants, providing immediate air quality data.
Regulatory Compliance: These monitoring data ensure the company stays within government-allowed emission limits, avoiding fines and penalties.
Health Protection: By maintaining optimal air quality, the company protects employees from health impacts caused by air pollutants, such as respiratory issues and long-term diseases.
Environmental Responsibility: Using these detectors demonstrates the company's commitment to environmental protection, contributing to improved air quality in Taiwan. 4o
Implementation Strategy
Implementing the iAeris2 detector involves several key steps:
Assessment: Identify critical areas within the factory that require focused air quality monitoring, including printing areas, solvent storage areas, and waste management zones.
Installation: Deploy iAeris detectors at strategic locations to cover all major sources of pollution emissions.
Integration: Integrate the monitoring system into the company's existing environmental management framework to achieve seamless data reporting and tracking.
Case Study Results
Through this series of measures, the printing company successfully achieved the following objectives:
Environmental Compliance: Ensured all emissions meet government-mandated standards.
Improved Efficiency: Enabled quick response to sudden pollution events through real-time data and feedback mechanisms.
Health Benefits: Significantly improved working environment for employees, reducing health risks associated with pollutants.
Enhanced Reputation: Positioned as a leader in environmental stewardship, the company has established a strong corporate image within the industry and society.
These achievements not only highlight the company's commitment to environmental stewardship but also set an example for other printing enterprises, demonstrating how to achieve sustainable development under stringent environmental regulations.
