CWEG Successfully Co-sponsored the 14th Red-hot Water Treatment Technologies Forum

       During March 21-22, 2019, the 14th Red-hot Water Treatment Technologies Forum 2019 was held in Renmin University of China.  The forum was co-hosted by seven authoritative Chinese academic institutions including the China Urban Development Committee of CCPIT, and the National Engineering Laboratory (Beijing University of Technology) of Advanced Urban wastewater Treatment and Resource Utilization Technology, and was sponsored and supported by CWEG and the Sino-German Center for Water And HealTh ResearCH (WATCH). 

 　　On the theme of “Advancement in Water Treatment Technology”，the forum discussed 3 topics, including "industry policies and development trends", "quality and efficiency enhancement of existing treatment facilities and equipment", and "research and development of future water treatment technology". 

 　　Pang Hongtao, Deputy General Manager of the Beijing Technology R&D Center under CWEG, delivered a wonderful report entitled “Characteristics and Advantages of Underground WWTP”, sharing CWEG’s latest research results and applications in the fields of underground WWTP, including the Beijing Bishui Underground WWTP (urban ecological complex), Guiyang Nanming River Water Environment Management Project (comprehensive watershed management), and the Dali Erhai Lake Water Environment Management Project (regional industry synergy development). According to Pang Hongtao, CWEG’s underground WWTP system features “eco-friendliness, land intensiveness and resource utilization”, helping turn traditional WWTPs into “positive assets” of the city from “negative assets” .  CWEG’s innovative exploration in the application of underground WWTP was highly recognized by the participants.



      Li Peng, R&D manager of the Beijing Technology R&D Center under CWEG, made a report entitled “Research and Exploration of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Facility Testing and Assessment System”, unveiling that a water treatment technology innovation and social service platform is now under construction by CWEG in response to the rapid development and the need for assessment of decentralized wastewater treatment facility. Relying on the platform and WATCH, CWEG will build and validate a pilot facility testing and assessment line to underpin the construction of decentralized wastewater treatment equipment testing and assessment system and the implementation of related standards.



       During the roundtable dialogue session, seven industry and enterprise experts, including Peng Yongzhen, Academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chief Professor for Environmental Science at Beijing University of Technology, exchanged their views on such issues as "quality and efficiency enhancement of urban wastewater treatment industry" and "development direction of new urban wastewater treatment technology". Yang Maodong, Deputy General Manager of the Beijing Technology R&D Center under CWEG, analyzed the application and development characteristics of underground WWTP in China in terms of environmental, social and economic benefits. The participants gave CWEG’s underground WWTP credit for its superiority in low land occupation, low sewer pipe network investment and efficient ground space planning, etc., saying that the underground WWTP will provide great impetus to urban water environment management and high-quality development.
