PARIS, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- French waster and water company Suez, along with Belgian chemical company Solvay, has won a contract to treat industrial wastewater at an industrial Park in eastern Chinese coastal city of Yantai, Suez said Thursday in a statement.
The two firms would combine their expertise and technologies to provide innovative solutions and to meet stringent environmental standards in China, Suez said in the statement.
It was the first contract won within the alliance between Suez and Solvay, which was established this year to jointly develop and market advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) within China.
According to the contract, Suez and Solvay will provides a treatment line for the brine produced by the desalination process, which, with a capacity of 24,000 cubic meters per day, will treat brine to achieve a quality discharge into the sea in accordance with the most recent standards of the chemical industry.
The treatment line will be equipped with several Suez's patented technologies as well as the AOP jointly developed by the two companies, Suez said, adding that the treatment line is planned to be operational in October 2018.
"Tighter Chinese regulations require the deployment of more and more advanced treatments involving cutting-edge technologies that combines the expertise of several players," said Steve Clark, CEO of Suez Asia.
