National policies help valve companies transform and upgrade

Abstract: With the annual national "two sessions" successfully concluded, the 12th Five-Year Plan has attracted a high degree of attention from various industries. The State emphasizes the development of a modern industry with optimized structure, advanced technology, and high added value, and at the same time, it will reduce energy consumption. "Plan" is included in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" key plan content, and the valve industry as an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry, the future development of the road will go from here?

The strong support of national policies, the strong market demand for major national engineering projects, the survival test of energy saving and environmental protection, the reduction of international trade thresholds, and the adjustment of product structure by developed countries all whip up the transformation and upgrading of valve companies.

Valve companies should face challenges and seize opportunities, strengthen the ability of independent innovation, adjust product structure of enterprises, improve product technology content and product quality from time to time, comprehensively enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, enable enterprises to face fierce market competition and various industries. Need to take the initiative.

Adhere to the scientific and technological progress and innovation as an important support to accelerate the transformation of economic development.

Adhere to the construction of a resource-conserving, environment-friendly society as an important focal point for accelerating the transformation of economic development. Deeply implement the basic national policy of resource conservation and maintenance of the environment, save energy, develop a recycling economy, promote low-carbon technologies, and take the road of sustainable development.

Recalling that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, most industries have already experienced the pains caused by the transformation. The energy saving and consumption reduction over and over the nation has caused the arduous industry to suffer less, and the valve industry has not been spared.

The government work speech in 2011 pointed out that the energy-saving goals should be decomposed into industries, transportation, and public institutions, and continue to implement key energy-saving projects; and key energy-consuming industries that are inseparable from valves, such as chemical industry, petroleum and petrochemical, chemical industry, and metallurgy. Will be implicated. At the same time, the production mode of the valve industry generally has high energy consumption and low output value. With the announcement of a large-scale energy-saving and carbon-reduction policy, the author could not help but conjecture that whether the local government will complete the “assessment” again as usual in previous years. The “unauthorized” means that despite the fact that the one-size-fits-to-eat mode of power limiting is overkill, who can guarantee that the “knife” will not fall?

The valve industry plays an important role as an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry. The products cover the relationships between petroleum, chemical, gas, metallurgy, machinery and equipment, water treatment, shipping, urban construction and environmental protection, papermaking, oil storage, oil refining, and so on. National economy and people's livelihood are important areas.

Although China’s valve industry has achieved localization of valves in the major gas and pipeline projects such as large-scale oil and gas pipelines, rural sewage treatment, and nuclear power plants, petrochemicals, metallurgy, and power plants in the West-East Gas Pipeline “South-to-North Water Transfer” Three Gorges Water Control Project. There are still some differences between the industry level and the international advanced level. Many high-parameter, high-temperature, high-pressure and other key valves are still dependent on imports and subject to foreign regulations.

In the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the central government emphasized the strategy of localization of major equipment manufacturing industries, and strived to achieve localization or partial localization of major engineering projects and key valves in the short term, so that China’s valve manufacturing industry will be at the forefront of the world. For the valve manufacturing industry has brought a golden opportunity for development.

According to an economic reference report, the 12th five-year plan for high-end equipment manufacturing industry development drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments has already been completed and is awaiting the approval of the State Council. The Manufacturing Industry Promotion Law establishes a coordination mechanism for cross-regional, cross-industry and cross-sectoral coordination of major technology and equipment, formulates related policies for the equipment manufacturing industry, organizes and coordinates the coordination of major technical equipment and public relations, coordinates implementation of supporting projects, and organizes and supervises the implementation of localization programs. Give full play to the role of industry associations, strengthen industry inspections and information guidance, and guide the healthy development of enterprises.

At the same time, a major technological equipment R&D innovation reward system will be established to give appropriate R&D incentives to companies that develop and use the first (set) equipment for domestic independent innovation platforms, and encourage Ping An to launch the first (set) major technology equipment safety operations. .

In addition, financial support should also be increased. Increase import credit funds, support domestic enterprises in contracting foreign projects, drive the import of complete sets of equipment and construction machinery, and encourage financial institutions to support import companies in various ways such as policy loans and mortgage loans for import orders.

At the same time, the National Development and Reform Commission’s energy-saving and environmental protection industry development plan (draft for consultation) proposes that during the 12th Five-year Plan period, the country will add 200,000 tons of wastewater supporting pipe network construction capacity and 90 million tons of sewage disposal scale, upgrading and transforming sewage disposal. The scale of 50 million tons; the daily sludge treatment capacity of 47,000 tons; the new coal-fired power plant denitrification facilities 180 million kilowatts; carry out pilot demonstration of heavy metal pollution control; support the construction of a batch of demonstration projects of cleaner production.

Although the development prospects of the valve industry are good, the Wenzhou valve industry's flaws still exist, such as the "hometown of China's pump valve," Wenzhou Yongjia, although the valve output accounts for nearly one-third of the country's valves, about 3,000 varieties of 40,000 A series of valve products, but the structural contradiction of the entire industry is outstanding: low technical content of products, lack of core technologies and innovation capabilities, serious disorderly competition, excess production capacity, high energy consumption, low profitability and other issues.
