Study and Practice of Cleaner Production Pre-Audit on a Pharmaceutical Factory in Harbin

According to the normal regulation and procedure of cleaner production, pre-clean audit is carried out in a pharmaceutical factory. After establishing an audit group, propagandas and mobilizations were conducted and investigations on site were performed. Twenty pieces of no or low cost solutions which involved control optimization, waste material recycling, renewal and maintenance of equipment, and enhancement of staff performance and management, et al. were propounded and adopted in the processes. As a result, some economic benefits were attained and the discharge capacity of waste water was reduced. Moreover, the key audit units and problems to be solved were clarified. This pre-audit work laid a sound foundation for the next audit stage in this factory.
