Recently, the project titled “Industrial application of biological fluidized bed in treating wastewater from coal-based ethylene glycol production,” led by the Luoyang Technology R&D Center of Sinopec Refining & Chemical Engineering Group with the participation of Shanghai Engineering and Hubei Fertilizer, successfully passed the technical appraisal organized by the group’s Science and Technology Department in Zhijiang, Hubei. The successful industrialization of this technology marks a historic breakthrough in China’s efforts to make wastewater treatment more efficient, mechanized, enclosed, and intelligent. The large-scale biological fluidized bed wastewater treatment technology is an original technology jointly developed by the Luoyang Technology R&D Center and Shanghai Engineering Company. As the engine driving the continuous improvement of the company’s engineering technologies, the Luoyang R&D Center has been leveraging its strengths in recent years to promote key technological innovations and generate tangible benefits. It has also continued to strengthen collaboration with various engineering firms. By taking advantage of Shanghai Engineering Company’s expertise in wastewater treatment projects, the two parties worked together to achieve breakthroughs, ultimately enabling the industrial application of large-scale biological fluidized bed wastewater treatment technology at Hubei Fertilizer Company. The expert group believes that large-scale biological fluidized bed wastewater treatment industrial plants have overturned traditional biochemical wastewater treatment methods, enabling a revolutionary approach to centralized and enclosed wastewater treatment. Compared with conventional processes, these plants require 54% less land area, emit 80% less waste gas, produce 43% less excess sludge, have 30% lower operating costs, and entail 16% less investment; overall, their technology is at an internationally advanced level. Photos of the biological fluidized bed system for fertilizer production in Hubei: The R&D center in Luoyang continues to leverage its strengths to develop a platform for innovation in environmental protection technologies. The mobile, multi-functional analysis vehicle developed by this center played a crucial role in the side-test experiments conducted on the pilot plant for biological fluidized bed wastewater treatment in Hubei, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent successful industrialization of this technology. The industrial debut of the large-scale biological fluidized bed wastewater treatment technology was a success, offering coal-based ethylene glycol manufacturers a new option for stable, effective, and cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions – making it highly suitable for market adoption.
