On April 18, the Minister of Environment concluded a thorough investigation into environmental protection efforts in the Beijing Urban Sub-center. During the visit, key locations such as the Beiguan Barrage, Yulinzhuang Water Quality Automatic Monitoring Station, Yangwa Gate National Water Quality Assessment Section, and Beiyun Ecological Corridor were inspected. The assessment covered various aspects, from ecological flow and sewage interception pipe networks to rainwater and sewage diversion, as well as monitoring ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus levels. Reclaimed water plants and forest parks were also examined.

The minister’s hands-on approach to investigations is well-known, reflecting a commitment to gaining firsthand insight. Using the “four no two direct” method, he bypasses formalities to directly assess the situation on the ground. Over recent years, such visits have unearthed numerous issues, leading to effective resolutions. However, challenges persist, particularly concerning wastewater.

Over time, environmental standards have tightened, law enforcement has become more stringent, and inspections have become routine. This year, in addition to visits to the Beijing Deputy Center, the minister explored Shaanxi and Jilin, while the Ministry of Environment’s Party Secretary delved into Henan. Last year’s journeys spanned Hunan, Gansu, Qinghai, Yantai, Chengde, Xiangfen, Yixing, and beyond.

A review of past Ministry research reveals ongoing investigations this year. Where they venture, what they inspect, and the discoveries they make captivate environmentalists’ attention. Focus areas encompass wastewater, polluted water bodies, sewage interception networks, river basins, flood season supervision, and emergency responses.

Is the water market saturated? Are waterworks projects faltering? Is municipal demand dwindling? Is water supply and drainage equipment on the decline? It appears premature to write off the water market just yet.

Heading into 2021, many were puzzled by reduced targets for new sewage treatment capacity in the “14th Five-Year Plan.” Meanwhile, shifts in the water treatment market began impacting areas like recycled water and pipeline networks. By 2024, a wave of large-scale equipment updates flooded in.

Government bodies like the State Council and Ministry of Environment collaborated on policies. The “Action Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods” covers it all, while the “Implementation Plan for Building and Municipal Infrastructure Equipment Renewal” provides clear guidelines for water plants and pipelines.

Explore Quan’en Pipe Industry’s PVC-uh water supply pipes at the 16th Watertech China, setting new standards. Quan’en is leading the way with pipes that exceed national standards and are used in water supply projects and municipal systems.

Aside from pipes, let’s delve into the 10 key tasks outlined in the plan. This includes upgrading water plants with items like water pumps, electrical equipment, dosing equipment, testing and automatic control gear, gate valves, and more. The plan also covers secondary water supply facilities like pressurized storage systems, water tanks, pumps, and related gear, along with sewage treatment and urban drainage equipment such as blowers, sludge treatment systems, and deodorization units.

And remember, every upgrade focuses on two main goals: low-carbon transformation and intelligent integration.

In 2024, the water market’s focus isn’t just on equipment renewal—it’s about transformation and efficiency. We’re raising standards, exploring wastewater recycling, embracing membrane technology, and pushing for breakthroughs in transformation.

Integrating AI, big data, IoT, and blockchain, our high-end water treatment equipment is advancing with technology. Take Korida’s IoT shared instrument at the Shanghai International Water Exhibition—it connects to the industrial IoT for data collection and versatile measurement.

To tackle pollution and carbon, we’re reducing emissions from source to end. Automation and intelligence are crucial. And when it comes to water reuse, membranes are key.

The market outlook? The “membrane method” is a game-changer. From municipal to industrial use, membranes like reverse osmosis (RO) are leading the charge. Stanford University research even suggests recycled water could be cleaner than traditional drinking water, thanks to advanced membrane filtration.

Explore cutting-edge membrane products at the exhibition, from Lisheng MBR immersed membranes to Wanhua Group’s ultrafiltration technology. It’s your chance to see innovation in action.
