A PETROCHEMICAL project built in the Daya Bay in the southern Guangdong Province emitted waste gas exceeding standard levels, according to the provincial environment protection authority.
The project, built by China National Offshore Oil Co, had sulfur dioxide emission level double the standard, reported Yangcheng Evening News yesterday.
The problem was detected when a calcined coke project located in Huizhou, Guangdong, was subjected to final environmental inspection on Monday, said the report.
The plant is expected to process 400,000 tons of calcined coke per year.
According to the inspection results, this volume of process ability would generate 232.6 tons of sulfur dioxide each year.
The legal limit is 113 tons per year, said the environmental officials.
In a survey conducted by the environmental protection authorities, about 10 percent locals "were unsatisfied with" the Daya Bay chemical zone nearby.
The company said waste will be emitted via an 80-meter-high chimney, and that its location, surrounded by industrial land on three sides and the sea on the other, means it won't affect residents.
