Recently, good news came from the Jinan Urban and Rural Water Affairs Bureau: Jinan Refining & Chemicals won the first prize in Jinan’s 2025 Water Conservation Award. Jinan is famous for its springs, but it is indeed a city facing severe water shortages due to its resource-based economy. To help Jinan achieve its goals of water conservation and protection of these springs, Jinan Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. has, in recent years, adhered to a strategy that gives priority to water conservation. The company has established water monitoring systems and utilized intelligent and information-based methods to improve the management of its water systems, thereby increasing both the rate of wastewater reuse and the utilization of alternative water sources. It has completed projects such as the treatment of municipal wastewater for reuse, the reutilization of surface rainwater, the identification of leaks through zone-specific metering in the water supply network, and the differentiated use of water based on its quality. By leveraging technology, the company has redefined the traditional approaches to industrial water use. This not only demonstrates Jinan Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd.’s commitment as a state-owned enterprise to implementing the principles of ecological civilization, but it also provides a practical model for industrial enterprises in the Yellow River basin to reduce water consumption and emissions.
