First found by @nequalsonehere, Hebei/Lufa have been interested in MABR for at least the last 7 months. While they were installing some alternative sewage treatment equipment in 2018, since the Fluence visit in January 2019, Lufa have only released news in relation to MABR sewage treatment (no competitors have been mentioned publicly). The iTEST relationship with the China Highway Society and related promotional activities may be taking effect. In the 2nd news release below it states that Lufa have been heavily researching sewage treatment technology for more than a year, and it seems that they are moving closer to following iTEST and choosing MABR as their solution of choice.

Jiangsu Fulangshi Water Technology Co., Ltd. visited the Lufa Wastewater Treatment Demonstration Park
2019-01-21

Recently, Fulangshi Water Technology Co., Ltd. visited Lufei Headquarters Yucheng North Wastewater Treatment Demonstration Park. The two sides exchanged discussions on issues such as sewage treatment technology and business cooperation in the service area.

The MABR (Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) wastewater treatment process is a low-energy process combining activated sludge process with biofilm process. The core is an aeration membrane made of special synthetic materials. This mode changes the traditional aeration method and is a membrane aeration technology based on the principle of free diffusion. Its unique process solves the problem that the traditional aeration membrane has a short service life and frequent cleaning and replacement, and has the characteristics of saving energy and reducing the demand of carbon sources.

At the symposium, Fulangshi Company displayed the process flow, technical characteristics and technical application of “MABR” wastewater treatment technology in the form of PPT, and put forward opinions and opinions on how to further strengthen the sewage treatment capacity of the expressway service area. After the meeting, the two sides reached a consensus on cooperation on further cooperation.
