Watertech China is back to Beijing! There’s a strong interest to see products and technologies in real life and to have extensive in-person conversations.  It was more than exciting to meet industry colleagues and peers again after a two year break.

 

 

Watertech China Beijing 2021 came to a close in Beijing on Tuesday with the enthusiastic on-site participation. The trade show presented a unique overview of the diverse environmental & home comfort technologies throught China and Asia, and across the globe. 

 

Watertech China Beijing offers a platform that strengthens trade and business relationships between environmental industry stakeholders, and that promotes the shift to “carbon neutral” solutions. Established in 2010, the show has become one of the most influential trade shows for the water treatment industry, and one of the main industry platforms for municipal, industrial and civilian use in northern China. 

 

The exhibition is divided into 7 theme areas including wastewater treatment, membrane water treatment technology, water purification, pump & valve technology, air purification & ventilation, instrumentation, and comprehensive water technology. 

 

Industries such as metallurgy, pharmaceuticals and chemical industry have especially benefited from joining the show as they are in great need of carbon-neutral solutions that are pivotal for achieving China’s “dual-carbon” goals. The shift to “carbon neutral” is also one of the main drivers of the home comfort sector, which includes product systematization, system integration, etc.

 

This year, the show featured a strong line-up of more than 600 exhibitors who showcased products such as sewage purification devices, hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane modules, MBR equipment and components, integrated seawater desalination systems, EDI electro-deionization devices, electrodeionization (EDI) systems, air suspension centrifugal blowers, water quality monitors/environmental monitors, MINI screw-type sludge dewatering machines, among many other products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brands such as AO Smith, Canature, Angel, Syr Hanshill,  Ribon,  Brisk,  Ferly, Naco, and many others, have presented  selected whole-house water purification products, self-service water vending machines, water boilers, water purifiers, water purification accessories, wall-mounted fresh air systems and other water treatment products that attracted the enthusiastic audience. 

 

 

 

 

 

A full program of conferences and events took place each day of the show. Partners and attendees included representatives from diverse development sectors, research institutions, product manufacturers, non-profit and government representatives, professional associations, consulting and investment firms, creating an exciting, region-wide water technology event.

 

 

 

 

The forums and roundtables were supported by China Membrane Industry Association, Zhejiang Membrane Industry Association, Zhongke Anhua Industrial Technology Center, China Construction Metal Structure Association, Ventilation and Water Purification Association, Shandong Home Appliance Water Purification Committee, Io Smith (China) Water Heaters, Sunde (China) HVAC equipment, to name a few. Experts from across China came together to discuss the most pressing environmental issues and to learn the ins and outs of water related topics, such as water purification projects, water purification & real estate, wastewater treatment projects and membranes. 

 

2021 Membrane Technology Forum (Municipal direction)

 

 

Over the last few years, separation membrane technology has been used in municipal water supply & drainage, and in industrial wastewater treatment. Nowadays, wastewater is and should be considered a valuable resource from which clean water, energy, fertilizers, and nutrients can be extracted. Unlike traditional methods, membrane technology has the ability to transform elements found in wastewater into an energy resource. Furthermore, membrane systems take less space, and they are easy to integrate with other technologies.

 

Membrane technology is used in municipal water treatment, especially as part of the upgrading and transformation of water plants. What improvements have been made in membrane performance in order to meet the requirements of municipal water treatment? What new technologies, new processes, and new ideas have emerged over the last few years? The forum found the answers to some of these questions, and much more. The primary objective of the conference was to bring together a quality audience, and present case studies that illustrate best practices and provide examples of projects that promote the implementation of circular economy principles. The guest speakers were membrane experts with extensive experience in municipal water treatment, who analyzed these projects from many different aspects, such as the project context and challenges, solutions, financial structure, benefits, enabling factors, to name a few.

 

The forum was sponsored by China Membrane Industry Association, and co-organized by Shanghai CHC Expo Co., Ltd., the Exhibition Department of China Membrane Industry Association and Training Department of China Membrane Industry Association.

2021 Chemical Wastewater Treatment Technology Case Study Exchange Forum

 

 

How to realize the goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 in a big country that has not completed industrialization? How can water treatment companies optimize their technologies to fit into the country’s emission-reducing efforts? And how to reduce CO2 emissions significantly while guaranteeing the power supply needed for economic and social development? These and similar questions have been discussed during the Chemical Wastewater Treatment Technology Case Study Exchange Forum in order to provide an in-depth overview of the region’s water technologies.
