The project is located in Lianyungang, a city in the north of Jiangsu Province, which is home to world-class coastal wetlands. In China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, Jiangsu Province will focus on integrated pollution cleanup, waste and carbon reduction, ecological restoration, and biodiversity conservation. This aligns with the central government’s goals of improving resource and energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions and water consumption in the petrochemical industry.
Shenghong Group, headquartered in Lianyungang, is one of China’s top 20 petrochemical companies. Its integrated refining and petrochemical complex is a key state-supported project positioned to become a new benchmark for the country’s petrochemical industry. SUEZ applies the design concept of treating waste with waste to provide an affordable and reliable full-process solution This solution is the highest reclamation of wastewater, and the most stringent discharge limit of high concentration reverse osmosis brine in the world petrochemical industry. The project will reduce CO2 emissions by 8,000 tons and save RMB 20 million in operating expenses per year.
Shenghong Group said, “We’re confident that in working with SUEZ we will be able to make this innovative solution a model for green development in the petrochemical industry around the world. Last year, the Chinese government announced its targets to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. We’re convinced that this solution will contribute to China’s carbon neutrality goals. It will also provide a strong impetus for global action in the petrochemical industry, towards green, sustainable development.”
