With the completion and trial operation of upgrading and upgrading of sewage treatment plants, the leather industrial park in Xiangxiang has begun to restore its popularity in previous years.

In the production workshop of Yinhe tanning company, there are more than 1000 raw cowhide products on the average daily finishing tanning and so on, and sent to all parts of the country.

The Xiangxiang leather industrial park at this time last year was far from the picture.

Sewage treatment capacity is insufficient, environmental protection pressure is huge, only a few enterprises can start production normally.

"As of the end of November, the output value has reached over 400 million yuan this year."

Last year, the annual output value of the company was only about 4000000.

For the galaxy leather that entered the leather industry park in Xiangxiang in 2003, the development of these companies is closely linked to the fate of the leather industrial park.

Xiangxiang leather industry started in the early 90s of last century. At the beginning, it was mostly extensive development of family workshop.

Entering the new century, the Xiangxiang Leather Industrial Park was established. Xiangxiang tanning enterprises seize the opportunity to usher in the peak of development. 17 enterprises have been put into operation in an all-round way, with an annual production value of about 2000000000 Yuan and nearly 30 million yuan of tax paid to the state.

The good days have come to an abrupt end with the increasingly stringent national environmental policy.

The leather industry is a large water user. It takes about 750 kilograms of water to deal with a cowhide.

Despite the guidance and support of the Xiangxiang municipal government, several enterprises in the leather industrial park jointly built the first phase of the sewage treatment plant in 2006. However, due to many years of operation, the equipment is aging, and the actual daily handling capacity is seriously insufficient, leading to the difficulty in running the sewage treatment plant and the high COD index.

In addition, the original lack of ammonia nitrogen treatment requirements, backward technology, resulting in the current national tannery effluent discharge standards can not be fully achieved emission standards.

Due to excessive pollution discharge, the leather industrial park has been investigated and dealt with by the environmental protection departments in recent years. In 2012, it was even supervised by the Ministry of environmental protection.

The environmental protection does not reach the standard, the enterprise production has been called to stop, and many enterprises have even shut the door or move from then to less than 10.

Since then, the Xiangxiang leather industrial park has fallen sharply, even to the point of life and death. The annual tax revenue has dropped from 30 million yuan to about 10000000 yuan.
