Basically this is another iTEST Xiaogan style commercial test plant for the railway system in Inner Mongolia.
I'd imagine the test Aspiral L3 would sit just outside an isolated railway station and treat concentrated wastewater high in nitrogen (ie high in urine) while being exposed to often cold climatic conditions. Fluence are trying to tell us that successful performance of this one system may grow into an iTEST style bulk Aspiral contract in future, although this could take from 6 to 24 months to judge performance and make any larger scale decisions.
The China Academy of Railway Sciences basically sits under the scope of the Ministry of Railways (full description at the bottom of this post).
One of their divisions has an environmental arm that has previously worked on wastewater treatments.
In recent years, the Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection Labor and Health Research Institute has made a number of scientific research achievements in water treatment. Among them, the "Experimental Study on Enhanced Primary Treatment of Domestic Sewage in Small and Medium-sized Railway Stations" passed the technical appraisal by the Ministry of Railways in 2002, and was promoted and applied on the Ningxi Line and the Qin-Shen Line. Development of Bioflocculation Equipment for Treatment of Domestic Sewage in Small and Medium-sized Railway Stations "passed the technical review in 2003; in order to solve the domestic sewage treatment problem of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, since 2003 the Ministry of Railways and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company have commissioned our institute to carry out" post-Qinghai-Tibet railway station tests "Engineering-Experimental Research on Sewage Treatment Technology", passed the scientific and technological achievements appraisal of the Ministry of Railways, won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of the China Railway Society in 2007, and solved the problem of deep treatment of low-temperature domestic sewage.

The first high-speed railway in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region was opened on Thursday (2017).According to China Railway Corp, the national railway operator, the new line has reduced the fastest rail journey between Ulanqab and Hohhot, the capital, from 56 minutes to 39 minutes. The cheapest ticket costs 44 yuan ($6.7).The bullet train runs at 250 kilometers per hour. Ten bullet train services are scheduled daily.The new 126-km line will be part of a 286.8-km high-speed railway that will connect Hohhot with Zhangjiakou, co-host of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, in Hebei province.The finished railway, with a designed speed of 250 km/h, will be a major artery in North China upon its completion.It is expected to be finished and put into service next year. At that time, the Zhangjiakou-Hohhot high-speed rail will be connected to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, which is currently under construction. Travel time from Hohhot to Beijing will be reduced from an average nine hours to less than three hours.
Last year, China's high-speed network reached 22,000 km, accounting for 65 percent of the world's total high-speed rail.According to a plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission in July last year, China will expand high-speed rail to 30,000 km by 2020, linking 80 percent of its major cities. By 2030, the network is planned to link all cities with populations of more than 500,000.
