污水直通处理厂！扬州食品产业园为这家企业省下50万元

Core Viewpoint - The newly released "Water Pollutant Discharge Standards for the Food Processing Industry" by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the State Administration for Market Regulation allows food processing companies to treat their wastewater through centralized urban sewage treatment facilities, significantly reducing costs for businesses [2][3]. Group 1: Cost Savings and Efficiency - Eighteen companies in the Yangzhou Food Industry Park have signed wastewater treatment agreements with Jieyuan Environmental Company, allowing them to discharge wastewater through municipal sewage pipelines to the Tangwang Sewage Treatment Plant, thus avoiding the costs of building their own treatment facilities [2][3]. - The annual savings for each company from the wastewater treatment agreement is estimated at 500,000 yuan, as they no longer need to spend 1.5 million yuan on facility construction and 500,000 yuan on annual operational costs [2][3]. - The pre-treatment costs for wastewater have significantly decreased for the eighteen companies, with one example showing a daily discharge of 200 tons of wastewater could save 1.5 million yuan in construction costs and 500,000 yuan in annual operational fees [3]. Group 2: Regulatory Support and Future Prospects - The Yangzhou Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and Guangling Ecological Environment Bureau have coordinated efforts to facilitate the connection of food industry companies to the municipal sewage system, with ongoing assessments for remaining companies in the park [2][3]. - The ability to directly discharge wastewater to the sewage treatment plant is expected to be a significant advantage for attracting new businesses to the food industry park, as they will avoid the costs associated with building their own wastewater treatment facilities [3].
