This plan includes work items as follows: (1) External audit on air quality monitoring facilities installed in the buffer zone of the special industrial area; (2) Examining chemical species of heavy metals for stationary source stack flu gas; (3) Checking Chemical composition of VOCs on industrial raw materials; (4)Establishing VOCs fingerprints database of stationary sources stack flu gas; (5)Promoting Clean fuels and reviewing subsidies applications for commercial oil boilers; (6)Unknown odor sources characterization and investigation for industrial area; (7) Other work items.
This project, started from 28th July 2017 till 27th July 2018, is empowered by a contract which issued by Environmental Protection Bureau of Tainan City Government. Summaries of work items are as follows:
1. External audit on air quality monitoring facilities installed in the buffer zone of the special industrial area
Four performance audits were executed on air quality monitoring facilities installed by Southern Taiwan Science Park. The audits include relatively accuracy measurement and review of both instruments and documents. Performance audits were perform every six month and a total of 8 audits were performed for this project.
2. Examining chemical species of heavy metals for stationary source stack flu gas
24 Chemical species of heavy metals for 9 stationary sources stack flu gas were measured. All testing results were compliant with emissions standards. The results were also compared to the emission factors of stationary source air pollution fee.
3. Checking chemical composition of VOCs on industrial raw materials
For the factory that is expected to recover the higher payment amount, the original material sampling test has been completed. At present, 15 points have been completed, 13 of which are inconsistent with the applicant's declaration content. The Tainan Environmental Protection Bureau will issue a document requesting the operator to fill in the air pollution fee. It was calculated that the company should pay NT 421920 dollars much more than they already paid.
4. Establishing VOCs fingerprints database of stationary sources stack flu gas
This year's project is expected to implement 10 times of pipeline VOCs fingerprint construction, and has completed 10 times.
5. Cleaning fuels promotion and subsidy for commercial oil boilers
According to the “Commercial Oil-boiler Replacement Subsidy Regulation”, 31 agents (56 boilers) sent their application for subsidy. 18 boilers had modified. A total of NT 39‚469‚499 dollars was spent on the improvement, and a subsidy amount of 18‚437‚034 dollars was spent, an average of 46.7% for total cost.
6. Unknown odor sources characterization and investigation
An investigation of unknown odor sources was conducted in HuWeiLiao community, TaiYi industrial area and ChaLi industrial area. The main complains of unknown odor source turned into cooking of restaurants and burning of joss paper compared to factories odor which used to be the main complain sources. For TaiYi industrial area and ChaLi industrial area, 3 factories had improved or install air pollution control devices, and the complaints decreased.
7. Air quality deterioration related actions
Texts notices, patrols and contingency plan execution results collections during air quality deterioration were performed. Contingency plans of factories were reviewed and the inconsistent with permit were found. To improve this problem, a simultaneous change of the contingency plan should be done when permit change.
8. Other work items
(1)Patrolling on factories during air quality deterioration period.
(2)Submitting progress and performance reports periodically.
(3)Releasing 2 news related to clean fuel promotion and air pollution fee audit for stationary sources.
