Environmental safety of enterprises processing agricultural raw materials

Abstract

The processing industry of Belarus is an export-oriented sector of the economy. The main tasks facing the industry are to increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, create new high-tech production facilities and increase the export of domestic products.

The article presents the main directions of development of the processing industry of Belarus. The factors ensuring environmental safety of processing industries are determined, where special attention is paid to the selected technological processes, the introduction of new waste-free environmentally friendly technologies, the use of innovative processing methods, the development of new products. The sources and degree of wastewater pollution are described, as well as sources emitting harmful substances into the atmosphere, the causes of fires and explosions at processing plants.

Mechanical, chemical and biological methods are proposed for cleaning wastewater from processing plants. To reduce the maximum permissible concentration of harmful substances in the air of the working area, it is necessary to provide ventilation and air conditioning. To ensure explosion and fire safety of technological processes, each enterprise has developed its own measures to eliminate sources of fires and explosions.
