Mr. Liu Zhiquan, Director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, recently led an expert team to evaluate the National Environmental Protection Membrane Engineering Technology Center, sponsored by BlueStar (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
The expert team reviewed the report submitted by the technology center staff, inspected the laboratory, pilot equipment and modular platform, and paid a visit to the 30,000 t/d intermediate water reusing project for the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), which was devised and built by BlueStar Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd.
According to the expert team, the technology center has a relatively complete organizational structure, complete management system and appropriate professional staff structure; it has constructed laboratories with complete functions to analyze water quality and materials, and devised and built removable and modular pilot equipment. The modular assembly platform is able to assemble and test large-scale membrane devices. The center was certified after the appraisal.
BlueStar Membrane Technology Center has undertaken many demonstration projects such as the water-reusing projects for Taiyuan Steel and the Liaohe oilfield, saline water treatment project for Dingxi and the rainwater reusing project for the National Stadium. These projects broaden the application of membrane technology for water treatment in areas such as steel, metallurgy, petrochemical and municipal infrastructure. (Chen Jianjun, Kang Jian)
