Chapter 143 Water Purification Technology
Zhou Yu thought of Feng Yunde's smug expression when he first arrived at the Materials Research Institute.
He has only developed waste disposal technology, which is a little too much. It turns out that he still has better technology in his hands.
"Don't be foolish, what kind of technology have you researched?" Zhou Yu asked directly.
Feng Yun dragged Zhou Yu to the laboratory next door, and he introduced as he walked: "In order to study and treat complex metal ions in wastewater, our research institute has developed a membrane material that actively selects certain ions to pass through.
We developed this kind of membrane, and did not give up on in-depth research and development of it. Now we have developed a membrane that can actively select water molecules. I named it a water-permeable membrane. The technology based on a water-permeable membrane is called water purification technology. "
Feng Yunde gave Zhou Yu a detailed introduction to the characteristics of water purification technology.
"It's really important research that you can develop a membrane material with this effect. The prospect of water storage technology is very broad." Zhou Yu sincerely praised.
He knows that there are many application scenarios of this technology, and there are two main applications.
The first important application scenario is the regeneration and treatment of urban domestic sewage. For a large city like Yanjing, the annual water consumption is about 600 million cubic meters, which is a very large water consumption.
The distribution of water resources in China is extremely uneven, and the north is a water-scarce area. If 50% of the 600 million cubic meters of water resources can enter the drinking water market, it will solve a huge problem.
In the past, domestic sewage was treated as reclaimed water, which could only be used for watering green fields and washing cars, etc. The water treated by water purification technology is completely drinkable.
The second important application scenario is seawater desalination.
Only 3% of the water resources on the earth are fresh water resources, and 77% of such scarce fresh water resources are stored in the glaciers of the North and South Poles and mountains.
The fresh water resources that humans can use are very scarce, coupled with the expansion of human population, the water resources on the earth are now very scarce.
If the water-permeable membrane material researched by Feng Yunde can facilitate the production of fresh water resources, it will not only solve the problem of water scarcity.
It can even promote the birth of a sea city, and now a sea city floating in the offshore can be fully realized through technology.
Maritime city materials can be transported, but the most difficult thing is to talk about the acquisition of water resources.
Feng Yunde led Zhou Yu to a transparent glass jar.
The glass jar is 3 meters in diameter and about 5 meters in height.
The inside of the glass jar bends and folds many small pipes the thickness of an arm.
The feces-yellow sewage passed through the glass tank, and clear water flowed out from the outlet at the bottom of the glass tank.
Feng Yunde said proudly: "Mr. Zhou, this is the water purification technology we researched, it obtains absolutely pure water, purer than distilled water, without any impurities in it.
There is no need to buy distilled water for the research institute, it will be delivered directly from us. "
Pointing to the color of the water in the glass jar, Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "Why is the water here such a color? It makes people feel bad."
"This is our company's domestic sewage, and the main sources are canteens and staff dormitories.
There are sewer sewage and sewage from washing dishes in the canteen. The sewage has been triple filtered, and there are some fine impurities in it.
But our company's water purification technology is very advanced. The water permeable membrane can only choose water molecules to pass through. Not to mention bacteria and viruses, even oxygen molecules cannot pass through. "
After Feng Yunde's introduction, he picked up the disposable paper cup next to him, unscrewed the faucet at the bottom of the glass jar, and took a glass of water.
He directly raised his neck and drank it cleanly, and said with a smile: "I have just introduced that the water we have treated is very clean and can be drunk directly."
Feng Yunde took a glass of water and handed it to Zhou Yu: "Mr. Zhou, please taste our treated water."
Zhou Yu looked at the shit-yellow water in the glass jar and thought that the water was for flushing the toilet.
Disgusted in his heart, he frowned and quickly waved his hands and said, "I still won't drink this water."
"Mr. Zhou, you are too hypocritical. The water in the glass jar looks very ugly. It is indeed sewage, but after our treatment, even clean freaks can't fault it." Feng Yunde continued to persuade.
"It's because people who are obsessed with cleanliness have not seen what the water body looks like before treatment. This kind of extensive treatment method is absolutely unacceptable. People who have learned about it will never take a sip of the water treated in this way.
You know a lot about technology, but you don't understand human nature.
This equipment must be supplemented with auxiliary equipment. I saw in the documentary that Huaxia's sewage treatment technology is already very advanced. After eighteen filters, the reclaimed water has become clear and transparent.
You use reclaimed water for water purification to further remove impurities in the water, so that people's senses are not like this. "
Zhou Yu immediately put forward his opinion.
"Hey!" Feng Yunde sighed, "Mr. Zhou, my work is over, and the purification technology has basically taken shape. The improvements you mentioned are the responsibility of the water purification technology equipment manufacturers.
I handed over the whole set of water purification technology to Yuan Keqing and the others. The equipment will be produced by them. You should inform them of your ideas. "
"There is no need to contact Yuan Keqing, let Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specialize in mechanical manufacturing, and I plan to set up a new company to manufacture new materials and products.
You passed on the water purification technology to me, and I will arrange the rest of the work. Your contribution this time is very great.
The water purification technology project will enjoy project revenue sharing in accordance with the company's regulations, and relevant scientific researchers will also be promoted. "
After Zhou Yu obtained the water purification technology, he left the Materials Research Institute.
When he returned to Longkou Building, he chose which new company would be responsible for the production of water-permeable membranes, and which middle-level leader would be the general manager of the new company.
For convenience, Xinghuo Technology has established many subsidiaries that may be used in the future, and these companies are now shell companies.
As long as Xinghuo Technology sends competent people and injects them with capital, these dormant companies will be activated.
When Zhou Yu returned to the office, he had already decided which new company to choose.
He immediately ordered the financial manager Lu Bing to inject 50 million yuan into Xinghuo Material Company, and Jiang Weiwei, the manager of human resources department, to staff Xinghuo Material Company.
He called Gou Fugui, the middle-level leader of the sales department, and entrusted him with the business of establishing Xinghuo Materials Company.
After Zhou Yu left Gou Fugui, he began to improve water purification technology, the core of which was water permeable membrane.
It's just that there is no water-permeable membrane pipe from the arm like Feng Yunde did.
Instead, the water-permeable membrane is made into ultra-fine microtubes with a diameter of 10 microns, so that it has a larger contact area with the water surface.
He set the water resources treated by the water permeable membrane equipment as regenerated water without solid impurities after multiple filtrations.
Zhou Yu just asked Xinghuo Material Company to produce water-permeable membrane equipment.
He is not going to let Xinghuo Technology personally produce pure water and become a tap water supplier.
The field of tap water is too complicated, which is mixed with political risks.
In the early days, Huaxia sold tap water services to foreign companies and contracted them to private companies.
Now the state has discovered that this naturally monopolized industry must never be left to private management, and must be controlled by the state.
The country has been constantly reorganizing the tap water market through various means. Spark Technology can easily make money, so why bother to enter this muddy water.
