Shenhua Huanghua Port: Achieving Green Transformation through Coal Wastewater Management

Through automated stacking, reclaiming, and handling processes, combined with comprehensive dust suppression technology, Shenhua Huanghua Port has established an ecological management system that covers the entire port area. This has enabled a green transformation spanning the entire coal handling process and the overall port environment.

Serving as a critical port within the Shenhua Group, Shenhua Huanghua Port handles coal transportation from regions such as Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi. Through the implementation of an extensive array of environmental measures, the port has successfully eradicated the persistent dust issue traditionally associated with coal terminals, transforming the facility into a clean and orderly operation that has shed its characteristic "black" appearance.

Through technological innovation, Huanghua Port has achieved zero dust emissions throughout its entire operational and producing process. This includes the modification of dumpers with water sprinkling systems to evenly mix water with coal, effectively suppressing dust generation. Furthermore, the port utilizes constructed wetlands to treat coal-containing wastewater, not only resolving environmental issues but also enabling the sustainable reuse of this water.

Additionally, Huanghua Port has implemented a multi-tiered protection system, establishing four lines of defense against pollution. These measures include hardening transition zones in storage yards, installing windbreak nets, mechanized road cleaning, and creating green gardens. These comprehensive steps have thoroughly controlled dust diffusion, resulting in a completely revitalized port environment.

Looking ahead, Huanghua Port will continue to enhance its level of automation to achieve more efficient loading and unloading operations, while remaining committed to developing into an eco-friendly port. Plans include the construction of an automatically controlled ecological management system, promoting the installation of intelligent garbage classification devices and environmental monitoring systems. Additionally, the port aims to create a garden-style environment, open to the public for visits, allowing more people to experience the appeal of a modern coal port and appreciate the harmony between industry and ecology.
