At present, it is a critical season in the southern agricultural period, but the drought in Hubei, Jiangxi and Hunan is serious. Due to the decline of water level in rivers, not only the sowing of crops such as paddy rice has been seriously affected, but also the poor accessibility of waterways in some areas has directly affected the transportation of raw coal, chemical materials and other water supplies. The normal production and operation of enterprises have added new interference.
Hubei Province has experienced continuous drought in the winter and spring this year, and the precipitation is the lowest in nearly 50 years. Up till now, the flood-prone area in Hubei is 13.03 million mu, of which 550,000 mu of early rice have not been transplanted, 1/3 of the rice is water-free, and millions of acres of summer crops such as rape and wheat have been affected by drought.
In the face of severe drought, a large number of chemical companies in Hubei have carefully organized production to ensure the need for spring tillage and drought-use fertilizers. The reporter learned that at present, the production and operation of some key chemical companies in Hubei have not been affected too much. Hubei Yihua, Hubei Chemical Fertilizers of China Petrochemical, Hubei Chuyuan, Hubei Saning Chemical and other enterprises are near the Yangtze River, and the water supply is basically worry-free. In particular, Sinopec Hubei Chemical Fertilizer has its own water plant and has complete infrastructure. It has prepared ahead of time when the drought has become apparent, ensuring the company’s water for production.
Huang Xian, Hubei Huangmailing phosphorus chemical company sales manager told reporters that the production of their diammonium phosphate business has a good momentum, sold throughout the country, the current inventory is very small. Mao Guobin, assistant general manager of Hubei Saning Chemical Industry, said that the company's raw material purchases and purchases are still relatively normal.
Since the beginning of this year, the water levels of the Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake have continued to decline. At the end of April, the lowest value of the same period in history has been exceeded. Channel operations and waterway transportation are facing challenges. In particular, as electricity coal transportation becomes more intense, enterprises are facing challenges in their electricity use.
At present, Jiangxi Province Xinghuo Organic Silicon Plant, Jiujiang Petrochemical, Shilong Industry, Guixi Chemical Fertilizer and other large-scale backbone enterprises have normal electricity use and production, and have not been significantly affected by drought and power curtailment. Huang Guangming, general manager of Guixi Chemical Fertilizer Company, told the reporter that due to the local power department's support and tilting policies for the fertilizer production enterprises supporting the agriculture, the company itself has prepared emergency plans ahead of time and purchased the self-provided power generation coal in advance. Most fertilizer production lines are in normal load operation. However, Changjiu Biochemical Jianghan Branch Company and Jiangwei Hi-Tech Co., Ltd., due to the shortage of raw coal and power for production, can only produce at low load.
Hunan also suffered from a rare drought. The water area of ​​the Dongting Lake was reduced to the least in 10 years. Faced with the tight supply of coal and the shrinking of hydropower, petrochemical companies such as Baling Petrochemical worked well in summer. Baling Petrochemical Thermal Power Division has strengthened three levels of summer accident plan exercises, and at the same time strengthened coal transportation and transportation, strived to increase coal inventory, and at the same time strengthened the work of coal blending, leaving part of the high-quality coal to the most crucial moments for burning and preparing it from time to time. Needs.
