GB21347-2023
Norm of energy consumption per unit throughput of industrial silicon and magnesium
工业硅和镁单位产品能源消耗限额
GB 21347-2023 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Norm of energy consumption per unit throughput of industrial silicon and magnesium. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a energy efficiency focus and has an implementation date of Oct 1, 2024.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the energy consumption limits for industrial silicon and magnesium unit product production. It is applicable to the calculation and assessment of energy consumption, as well as energy control for new, renovated, and expanded projects. For magnesium production, this standard applies exclusively to the silicothermic process and does not cover electrolytic or other methods.
Technical requirements
The standard classifies energy consumption limits into three grades, where Grade 1 represents the lowest energy consumption and Grade 3 the highest. For industrial silicon, the limits are further categorized based on the primary reducing agent used (e.g., charcoal, mixed petroleum coke and coal, or coal). Existing facilities must comply with the Grade 3 limits, while new, renovated, and expanded enterprises must meet the stricter Grade 2 requirements. The standard also defines the statistical scope for comprehensive energy consumption, covering main, auxiliary, and affiliated production systems while deducting externally supplied secondary energy.
Testing methods
Energy consumption is calculated using a specific formula that aggregates the energy consumption of the main production system, auxiliary systems, and affiliated systems, minus any recovered and externally supplied secondary energy. The calculation relies on standard coal conversion coefficients for various energy sources and energy-consuming working fluids, referencing GB/T 2589 and GB/T 12723.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 21347-2023?
It regulates the energy consumption limits for industrial silicon and magnesium unit products.
Does GB 21347-2023 apply to all magnesium production methods?
No, it only applies to the silicothermic process for magnesium smelting and excludes electrolytic and other methods.
What are the compliance requirements for new facilities under this standard?
New, renovated, and expanded enterprises must meet the Grade 2 energy consumption limits, which are stricter than the Grade 3 limits required for existing facilities.
