Harbin Institute of Technology knocks on the door of the international market! It will provide the world with comprehensive solutions in seawater desalination related fields.
Recently, Harbin Institute of Technology Industrial Development (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Harbin Institute of Technology"), an industrial company under Yan ‘an Group Co., Ltd., signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with China Machinery and Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Construction Group"), and authorized China Construction Group to be the exclusive overseas distributor of its "HiTcs seawater desalination technology" and related equipment. Harbin Institute of Technology, with its unique ceramic solar panel manufacturing and application technology in China, further knocks on the door of the international market in the important new energy field of photothermal application.
One-stop solution of hydropower heating based on "zero carbon"
Fresh water is the source of human life and the necessary support of human society’s production and life. However, worldwide, due to the lack of fresh water in many areas, seawater desalination has become an important means to obtain fresh water.
"There are many disadvantages in the traditional seawater desalination method, and the energy consumption is huge, ‘ Carbon emissions ’ Can not be effectively controlled, but the production of solar photovoltaic panels ‘ Green electricity ’ Desalination of seawater will not achieve high efficiency. " Yin Ge, general manager, project leader and senior engineer of Harbin Institute of Technology Industrial Development (Shandong) Co., Ltd. introduced.
In this context, "how to directly use solar energy to heat seawater for efficient desalination" has become a subject that Harbin Institute of Technology and Zhongke Joint R&D team is committed to overcome. After years of painstaking research and development, the team finally found a solution.
By adopting the manufacturing technology license of China’s unique ceramic solar panels (hereinafter referred to as "CSP panels"), Harbin Institute of Technology independently developed the "photo-thermal-thermal effect" application scenario integration technology and equipment with chemical-grade CSP panels as the core components.
According to reports, chemical-grade CSP board is made of high-quality white porcelain mud with micro-iron and high aluminum content. After special process, the water content of the finished product is lower than 0.1%, which has unique advantages such as corrosion resistance of all kinds of high-salt liquid, corrosion resistance of high-salt medium temperature at 150℃, high-strength solar radiation resistance and good pressure resistance. According to the appraisal report of Polish National Academy of Sciences, its service life can reach more than 100 years. Under the conditions of high-intensity solar radiation and salt mist phase corrosion, the stable long-term operation time of the medium-temperature heat collection system of CSP plate is more than 35 years.
"Every square meter of CSP board directly heats salt water, which is equivalent to heating salt water after 4.3 square meters of photovoltaic panels generate electricity." According to Yin Ge, the efficiency of CSP board in heating brine and other media is much higher than that of traditional solar photovoltaic panels. With solar energy, brine and other media can be heated to 90℃ to 140℃.
Using solar energy completely and directly can achieve the heating effect of high-salinity liquid and other media, which not only brings about lower cost and more environmental protection, but also brings out a series of application scenarios in similar fields. "Heated hot water can be used for power generation, and excess hot water can be used for heating … …” Talking about various value realization scenarios of CSP board, Yin Ge said that Harbin Institute of Technology has visited northwest China and Qinghai-Tibet region for investigation and negotiation many times, and in the future, it can provide continuous forced evaporation and concentration of salt lake brine (lithium extraction from salt lake), hot water supply, desalination of salt-making tail water (including environmental protection, tail water desalination and salt recovery), desalination of brackish water, fresh water supply and heating in remote low-latitude plateau areas, ORC power generation, ecological greenhouse, solar energy building integration, CSP board.
Leading technology is favored
The internationalization of enterprises is even more powerful.
Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, India, Pakistan Desert … … According to the report of the joint R&D team of Harbin Institute of Technology and China Science and Technology, CSP board and its related technical equipment have broad domestic and international market application scenarios under the current global situation of reducing carbon emissions and increasing scarcity of water resources. As the original technology in China, CSP board and its related technology and equipment have attracted many enterprises to invest in olive branches by virtue of their strong technical and product advantages such as better performance, lower cost and zero carbon emission.
A few days ago, Harbin Institute of Technology reached a strategic cooperation with Zhongshe Group, and relying on the advantages of Zhongshe Group, Harbin Institute of Technology ushered in a major development opportunity. "After more than 40 years of development, China Construction Group has become an engineering construction integration expert in many fields such as electric energy, transportation, electronic communication, factory construction and municipal environmental protection, and has strong advantages in the international market." The relevant person in charge of Harbin Institute of Technology introduced.
It is reported that as the core subsidiary of China Machinery Industry Group Co., Ltd., a fortune 500 enterprise, and the flagship enterprise of China Machinery Industry Engineering Group Co., Ltd., Zhongshe Group is a large-scale international comprehensive enterprise group with engineering contracting and industrial development business as its core and supported by the whole industrial chain of trade, design, survey, logistics and research and development. At present, China Construction Group’s engineering construction and trade services are spread all over more than 160 countries and regions, and a large number of excellent projects have been built in many fields such as energy, water and environmental protection in nearly 60 countries and regions, including China, and many "China firsts" have been created.
The reporter learned from Harbin Institute of Technology that in the future, the two partners will actively promote the construction of a demonstration project of "HiTcs seawater desalination technology" in the Middle East region to meet the market demand, and strive to promote the application of "HiTcs seawater desalination technology" in countries and key markets in the Middle East region.
"Dubai’s solar valley, which covers an area of 100 square kilometers, has completed the construction of solar installations of various technologies in the world, but the desalination plant that relies entirely on solar energy is still in the discussion stage." Yin Ge introduced that "HiTcs seawater desalination technology" will enter the Middle East market in the future. As a breakthrough technology, it has broad development prospects.
In addition, with the further promotion of cooperation, the CSP board independently developed and produced by Harbin Institute of Technology will also enter the international market. In the next step, Harbin Institute of Technology plans to further develop and improve the technology and equipment for medium-temperature heat collection and high-temperature brine treatment of CSP plates based on Zibo ceramic production base.
