Management of ecological-economic system of coking plant

Abstract

Coke production is a high-tech process, which at the same time has all kinds of negative environmental impacts (emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharge, placement of production and consumption waste). To improve environmental safety, it is necessary to study local ecological-economic system and its main elements in order to improve management efficiency. The article analyzes known approaches to definition and features of functioning of ecological-economic systems of industrial enterprises and their modifications. As a result of the analysis, system of correlated environmental and economic indicators is presented, reflecting specifics of ecological and economic system of coking enterprise with a monodirectional production program. The most important are the considered dependencies “current expenses for environment protection/risk level”, “current expenses for environment protection/payment for negative impact on environment”, “current expenses for environment protection/ economic damage compensation factor” and “capacity utilization/risk level”. Enterprise has identified implementation of non-stationary environmental policy, differentiated by time intervals: from 2004 to 2010 and from 2010 to 2016. Based on synthesis of theoretical studies of domestic and international researchers and analysis of graphical dependencies of actual data, directions for management efficiency improvement of local ecological-economic system of a coking plant were formed. From this point of view, it is of great importance to increase effectiveness of current expenditures provision for environment protection through development of mechanism for redistributing total amount between individual unified items of expenditures, as well as developing an algorithm for managing waste generated in the enterprise in terms of their further use to produce marketable products and minimizing potential charges for waste disposal. The work is of practical importance for large industrial enterprises with diversified negative environmental impact in order to prepare for adoption of effective environmental safety management decisions.
