In order to contribute the air quality control and improve the air quality, the
Environmental Protection Department, New Taipei City Government (hereafter
referred to as “New Taipei City”) promote the permits and inspections of
stationary sources, the audit of air pollutants, and the air quality monitoring
and testing consistently, the New Taipei City has commissioned the
implementation of this project「2016 New Taipei City Air Pollution Permitting
Reviewed, Inspection and Control of Stationary Sources (hereafter referred to
as “The project”).」The main five tasks are：the permitting of stationary sources
prevention, reduction and management, to tighten the permitting inspection by
industry process, cap by industry conglomerate, high-pollution fuel control,
and to draft a strategy of significant pollutant controlling plan. All the
achievements as follows： (Ⅰ)For the permitting of stationary sources
prevention, reduction and management, to evaluate decrement space. To
encourage low-emission fuels have used priority, to ask equipped with effective
air pollution collection and control equipment, to extend air pollution control
for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and to integrated the relevant air pollution
management regulations such as air quality deterioration, greenhouse gas
emissions reporting and to call attention to vehicles in-use certification for
emissions regulations . The air pollution emission reduction results this year：
Particulate Matter (PM) is about 33 tons/year, Sulfur Oxides (SOx) is 80
tons/year, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) is 598 tons/year, and VOCs is 20 tons/year.
(Ⅱ ) There are 85 stationary sources permits improved and operated and
followed by the permitting inspection principle of 6 industry process
announced since February, 2015. The reduction of air pollution emission
accumulated: Particulate Matter (PM) is about 106 tons/year, Sulfur Oxides is
38 tons/year, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) is 567 tons/year, and VOCs is 67 tons/year
respectively. (Ⅲ )For inhibit the increasing of air pollutants, the project
reviewed and checked the emissions of stationary sources permits of Nan Ya
Corporation which located in New Taipei City, to counsel the emission
reduction of air pollution for polyurethane coating (PU), polyurethane resin,
epoxy resin, dimethyl formamide recycle process (DMF) industrial processes,
to consult tightened exhaust emission standards for cogeneration process ,
change the fuel of spare boiler process to natural gas (to be achieved in 2019),
to consult the operating permit reapply after improvements were accomplished,
and the improvement emission standards would be registered on the permits in
the future. (Ⅵ) To effectively control air pollution emissions from coal-fired,
New Taipei City announced「The Principals of Coal-fired Stationary Pollution
Sources Permits in New Taipei City」and「The Principals of Coal-Used Permits
Reviewed in New Taipei City」in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Under the
principals of no increase coal-used and air pollution emissions from coal-fired,
New Taipei City increased the frequency of inspections, and asked for effective
air pollution control and efficiency verification to control coal-fired emissions
completely. On the other hand, New Taipei City amended the coal reporting
form and audited the records Inter–County/ City to find that 3 vendors
underreport coal sale records, 1 illegal user (without coal-used permit) and 4
users underreport coal-used records in nearly three years. (Ⅴ ) Power industry
is the major emissions of Particulate Matter (PM), Sulfur Oxides (SOx)and
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) in New Taipei City. After numerous consultations, the
Linkou Taiwan power (Power Unit)and Nan Ya Corporation (Co-generation
Unit) are planning to improve the operations process in accordance with the
tightened exhaust emission standards and it will support New Taipei City to
promote the reduction of air pollution emissions and the improvement of air
quality.
