This project addresses low efficiency, high energy consumption and carbon emissions in the wastewater treatment industry. Working with several leading firms, the project team has promoted the application of related technologies in more than a hundred companies in China through industry-university-research cooperation. It has developed a “three-chain integration” model connecting innovation, industry and talent cultivation. It has also yielded several high-quality patents, papers and other research outcomes.

Project technologies are implemented at a company.
The project has delivered annual economic benefits of over 300 million yuan, improving efficiency in the environmental sector. Additionally, the project has helped these companies reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3,000 tons annually, contributing to regional green development.
