Xi''an Underground Reclaimed Water Plant of the Group Helps Urban Low Carbon and Green Transformation

Since the beginning of this year, Xi'an has actively practiced and taken the initiative, taking green development as an important lever to promote the formation of a new pattern of western development in the new era, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, and the construction of a national central city. It has made every effort to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, optimize energy structure, and accelerate energy conservation, carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and efficiency enhancement in key areas such as industry and construction. The 12th Regenerated Water Plant of Xi'an, China Water Environment Group, has become a successful practice in creating a new type of sunken recycled water plant that integrates ecological demonstration and science popularization, helping to enhance the beauty of "green water and green mountains", make "golden mountains and silver mountains" more abundant, and create a new situation of ecological civilization through green development.

Entering the 12th Reclaimed Water Plant in Xi'an, located in the Chanba Ecological Zone, is like stepping into a wetland park. The pavilion walkway, water landscape, and fitness equipment all perfectly embody the construction concept of a harmonious and ecological city. The project, which covers an area of only 50 acres, aims to create an "ecological garden style" water plant with zero odor, zero noise, and zero pollution. It adopts the underground reclaimedwater ecosystem technology independently developed by the enterprise. The underground level of the water plant is the pipe gallery level, the middle level is the operation level, and the ground level is an open park. It aims to create a new type of sinking type recycled water plant that integrates ecological demonstration and science popularization.

After high-quality regeneration, sewage can be used as municipal water for urban green spaces, landscapes, road flushing, and ecological replenishment of rivers. At the same time, the water plant is equipped with water source energy exchange technology, which can provide winter heating and summer cooling for office, accommodation, and surrounding buildings in the factory area, assist in urban pollution control, haze reduction, energy conservation and emission reduction, and effectively ensure the continuous improvement of the water environment quality in the Bahe River Basin, resulting in significant environmental benefits.

At present, the 12th Reclaimed Water Plant in Xi'an has achieved organic integration of the pipe gallery layer, operation layer, and ground open park. Construct a sports area with water landscape and green plants, introduce recycled water into the park's water system, and achieve the recycling of tail water.

"The water plant has achieved an organic integration of the operating layer of the pipe gallery and the open park on the ground. Currently, the recycled water plant can produce 15 million tons of high-quality recycled water annually, which can be used for municipal landscaping and river ecological landscape replenishment. The generated sludge can be made into nutrient soil for resource utilization. In the next step, we will also rely on the relevant experience of the water plant in the field of green development to build a water environment science popularization hall, transmitting more green development experience in the field of water environment construction to the public, and making green lifestyles deeply rooted in people's hearts."

Xi'an focuses on "eight key areas of work", coordinates high-quality economic development and high-level ecological environment protection, synergistically promotes "carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth", promotes the development model of ecological priority, conservation, intensification, green, and low-carbon, and forms a symbiotic and complementary natural ecology.
