Greenhouse gas emissions

SSAP LLP (hereinafter referred to as the Partnership) annually conducts an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the inventory results, there are no direct emissions of greenhouse gases; indirect emissions in the Partnership include emissions from the starting boiler, starting furnace heater, diesel power plant type QAC500R, TEKSAN during plant shutdown, when burning diesel fuel.  

Emissions of NOx, SOx and other significant pollutants into the atmosphere by SSAP LLP

The harmful substances polluting the atmosphere on the plant territory are:

– aerosols of sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gases of the final absorption tower;

– diesel fuel vapors containing saturated hydrocarbons C12-C19 and hydrogen sulfide from consumable containers with diesel fuel;

– aerosols of sulfuric acid from a sulfuric acid warehouse, including during an emergency spill;

– soot, nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon oxide during the heating period of the combustion furnace, exhaust gases, products of incomplete combustion.

Constant control and monitoring of emissions into the environment is carried out, aimed at establishing a system of state standards and maximum permissible impacts on environmental components necessary for the effective implementation of environmental protection management. The main task of environmental monitoring of emissions is to identify the extent of changes in environmental quality within the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise and at its border.

Biodiversity

Vegetable world

The territory where the enterprise is located belongs to the zone of dry tussock-grass steppes on dark chestnut soils. In undisturbed areas of this territory, feather grass-fescue communities with the participation of forbs predominate.

Animal world

The fauna in the area where the enterprise is located is very rich. The vertebrate fauna includes 283 species. They are distributed by class as follows: mammals – 47 species, birds – 216 species, reptiles – 7 species, fish – 12 species. The close connection of the animal world with certain types of soils and vegetation is clearly visible.

The main productive biotopes in the Akmola region are reservoirs with coastal vegetation and cultivated fields. The most numerous inhabitants of this territory are water and steppe birds, which include: water sparrows, pigeons, hooded crows, rooks, jackdaws, various types of larks and wheatears.

On the territory of the enterprise there are no buildings, high-rise structures, supports for high-voltage transmission lines, artificial structures of reservoirs that would interfere with the flight and nesting of birds.

The impact of harmful factors on the animal world is assumed to be the same as on the population. Issues of wildlife protection are not considered, since the work is carried out in areas where there are no places of mass animal habitat. The vegetation cover in the production area is under anthropogenic pressure due to the reclamation of the quarry, the laying of dirt roads, all this leads to a decrease in the productivity and economic value of the vegetation cover, and to disruption of communities. It should be noted that the plant is located in an industrial area of ​​the city of Stepnogorsk, which already has technogenic pollution, so any separate measures to protect flora and fauna are not envisaged.

Currently, the animal world is in natural balance, because… the influence of man on him has not yet been felt, i.e. The wild fauna is still quite diverse.

The partnership regularly carries out activities to clean the plant territory and plant its landscaping. As part of these activities, work is being carried out to clean the territory and flower beds from fallen leaves, remove dead wood, partially paint borders, watering green spaces, applying organic fertilizer to green spaces and removing garbage from the surrounding area. 200 seedlings were also planted.
