| After four-month test in France, the world’s biggest water-cycles managing company Veolia Water finally decided to cooperate with Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology Ltd. three years ago. The France-based company also planned to purchase Motimo’s products since then.
Three years later, the largest hollow fiber membrane producing center in Asia was successfully launched in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin. The center boosts its own intellectual properties and core techniques, making it the research center of China’s membrane technology. It reached a sales volume of 500 million yuan.
At present, Motorola and McDonald’s have officially appointed Motimo’s MF equipment as their sole pure water filtering products.
The company has also left its noticeable marks on multi-heating separation method, one of the most advanced technologies of separation membrane. Its research has entered the second phase, making it another milestone China’s technology in this field.
Separation membrane technique is mainly adopted in recycling water, purifying the polluted water, making the pure water, and extracting medicines from other elements. It reaches various fields including energy, environmental protection, and biology.
However, it becomes more useful for China if the technology can help improving the chances of water recycling. “China’s average water recourse is only one sixth of the world’s average level. It is an urgent task to solve this problem,” Zhang Hongwei, secretary of the Party Committee of Tianjin Polytechnic University and former chairman of the board of Motimo.
Zhang also mentioned that the center is aimed at researching and developing the hollow fiber MF membrane and hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes with big market potentials. It will focus on environmental protection, desalination, modern biology, and medicine and food, building a series of model projects of membranes.
The company now has three core techniques with international level: CMF, MBR, and TWF. It has spinning 10 production lines, 68 products with China’s patents and 3 international patents. The company also has completed more than 100 researching tasks at country and provincial level. It also has become a high-level research center in the world. Its anti-pollution membrane has attracts world’s attention.
Motimo also takes response to build a one-million-square-meter membrane producing center for China because of its advanced technology and good performance in the market.
Motimo now is building another national membrane research center in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin, and it now targets intelligent membranes at present. |
