The district's administrative approval bureau (government service center) has established a unified "Cloud Wuhan Government Service Hall" for the city, achieving "one application, one window acceptance, and one network handling".
Adhering to the strictest environmental protection system bottom line, environmental quality has greatly improved. Comprehensive lake water quality environmental monitoring has been carried out, strictly controlling lake protection and water pollution prevention work, while implementing all-weather online monitoring of industrial wastewater discharge from production enterprises in the entire district. Increasing inspection efforts on key pollution sources of park enterprises, severely cracking down on environmental violations, with over a hundred personnel and more than 70 vehicles dispatched throughout the year, and nearly 50 enterprises inspected to ensure that pollution control facilities operate normally and pollutant emissions meet standards.
Increasing efforts in technological innovation to enhance development quality.
Selecting businesses from a high point of quality development. Enterprises entering the chemical park not only strictly follow the park's development plan but also focus on standing at the high point of quality development. The quality facilities include scientific plant design, modern standard workshops, first-class advanced equipment, and intelligent central control systems. In 2016, enterprises in the park held multiple quality management experience exchanges and seminars, organizing enterprise quality management personnel to participate in provincial and municipal quality management system training.
Guiding and supporting the construction of strategic emerging industries. Coordinating the temporary transition base and pilot base construction of the chemical research institute, supporting enterprises in establishing R&D institutions; continuously improving the technological policy system, guiding enterprises to increase innovation investment; focusing on the chemical new materials industry as the main direction, accelerating the construction of an industrial system centered on strategic emerging industries.
Taking multiple measures to promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. Adopting models such as industry-university-research docking and key visits to support the chemical research institute in technical cooperation with park enterprises; developing industry technology strategic alliances led by enterprises, with several already operational enterprises in the park conducting laboratory co-construction and sharing activities. Currently, the developed laboratory area is about 6,600 square meters, the pilot base area is 7,500 square meters, and various shared instruments and equipment total about 50 sets, valued at approximately 60 million yuan; relying on the chemical research institute to promote the rapid industrialization of scientific research achievements.
A 70-year-old enterprise ranks third globally: Wuhan Organic: Strictly producing according to pharmaceutical quality standards.
Entering Wuhan Organic Industry Co., Ltd., it is hard to imagine that this is a chemical enterprise, with a beautiful factory environment, rigorous production processes, and high-end production equipment.
Wuhan Organic has been established for 71 years, making it one of the oldest food additive enterprises in the country, and now it ranks third globally in food preservation, freshness, and antioxidant specialty.
In the Wuhan Organic factory area, there are pipelines suspended in mid-air. Technical director Huang Zhengwang introduced that this is a fully enclosed production line built with an investment of 2.85 million euros.
In the past, Wuhan Organic's production line relied on manual feeding, which easily caused inaccuracies in the proportion of raw materials due to human control, leading to potential quality differences in each batch of products. Through fully automated process control, raw materials are fed directly into the production line via pipelines, with proportions controlled by computers, reducing human factors and ensuring more precise product quality and consistency.
Wuhan Organic has always been a drafting and formulation unit for national standards in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade benzoic acid and sodium benzoate. Since the 1990s, its leading products have maintained the highest market share domestically and are among the top in the world.
Technical director Huang Zhengwang cited an example: during the production of benzoic acid, a substance called "ortho-phthalic acid" is generated. If it reaches a certain content in the product and is added to food and beverages, it can easily produce harmful components that endanger human health. Wuhan Organic aims for EU standards, and to enter the international market, it has changed the traditional colorimetric method to a precise quantitative liquid chromatography method based on its actual production situation.
In the long-term strict control of product quality, Wuhan Organic has always been at the world-leading level in this testing project. Countries such as the US and Europe set the content of "ortho-phthalic acid" at below 100 PPM, while Wuhan Organic has always required its products to have "ortho-phthalic acid" content below 30 PPM.
An 89-year-old brand occupies the high ground of industrial coatings: Shuanghu Paint: Becoming the "leader" in the domestic paint industry.
Wuhan Shuanghu Paint Co., Ltd., established in 1928, is one of the oldest paint production and operation enterprises in China, a pioneer in the development of the Chinese paint industry, and a leading and representative enterprise in the Chinese national paint industry.
The presence of "Shuanghu" can be seen in a series of national key projects, scenic spots, and large enterprises such as the Three Gorges Project, the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway, the Yellow Crane Tower, Dongfeng Group, and Shenlong Automobile.
In the face of fierce competition in the industry, Wuhan Shuanghu Paint has identified its market positioning, not sticking to the home decoration paint field, but instead turning to vigorously develop industrial anti-corrosion coatings, automotive coatings, resins, and other industrial coating fields.
According to the relevant person in charge of the company, Shuanghu Paint is actively exploring a path of transformation and development, adjusting its industrial structure, and determining water-based industrial coatings, water-based automotive coatings, and water-based rolled steel coatings as key development directions in the future, with technological innovation as the core, building a research and development-oriented enterprise, and planning for the future according to the management philosophy of intelligent production, global market, asset securitization, and value maximization.
Although it is in the relatively low-threshold paint industry, Wuhan Shuanghu Paint still adheres to the quality bottom line, making significant investments in quality control to ensure product quality.
The company is the only large-scale automatic production control system paint production enterprise in China that adopts three types of fieldbus control methods. The company's production director, Fu Wenli, introduced that the factory has newly built 48 automated production lines with a total of 5,500 control points, achieving an automated production method from raw material entry, production, packaging, to warehousing. She cited that through computer control of the production line, the production process is fully automated, allowing precise control of the production process, ensuring that the production line process time for each batch does not exceed plus or minus 5 minutes. "Shuanghu's standards far exceed those of domestic paint enterprises and have obvious advantages compared to internationally leading paint enterprises."
The historically significant "Shuanghu" has been recognized as a "Famous Trademark of Hubei Province" four times and designated as a "National Key Protected Brand." In 2012, it was recognized as a well-known trademark in China by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
