Desalination supporting policies will be out of the equipment and independent production of major products to speed up the pace

Seawater desalination industry development views on a series of supporting policies, such as years

National development and reform commission (NDRC) ring endowment department deputy director li jing yesterday in the "2011 Qingdao international conference on desalination and water reuse" on, according to the national development and reform commission is currently in conjunction with 11 departments formulate the opinions on accelerating the development of seawater desalination industry, and will be introduced in the name of the state council. At the same time, the national development and reform commission is compiling "twelfth five-year" plan and desalination seawater desalination industry special planning.

Industry insiders revealed that the policy will be rolled out in years, including "accelerating the pace of the seawater desalination equipment and independent production of major products" and "promoting desalination material localization" will be a policy support.

Desalination clear strategic position

Growing fresh water resources shortage in our country, per capita water accounts for only a quarter of the world level, but the water resource is very rich, broad prospects for desalination. However, due to our current are not in the water act seawater include water category, policy is hard to push on desalination, therefore, clear the important strategic position of desalination.

To this, the national development and reform commission, the ring endowment department commissioner of water-saving Yang Shangbao, said yesterday that the "twelfth five-year" period, desalination development must first clear "is an important supplement of water desalination, is a strategic reserve, is an important economic growth point".

At the same time, the ministry of water resources and water resources department deputy director Yu Qi ocean also stressed that the "twelfth five-year" period, the water conservancy department include desalination in unified allocation of water resources, actively formulate related plans.

This means, "twelfth five-year" period, desalination will rise as important supplement of the water resources strategic position.

Several initiatives escort seawater desalination industry

According to li jing, in order to promote the development of desalination, the national development and reform commission is now together with the 11 ministries and the opinions on accelerating the development of seawater desalination industry (hereinafter referred to as "opinions"), and will be introduced in the name of the state council. At the same time, the national development and reform commission is compiling "twelfth five-year" plan and desalination seawater desalination industry special planning.

Insider revealed to reporters, including the specific content of the opinions, more efforts to coastal area industrial desalination, encourage and support seawater desalination into municipal network, establish a new type of water price forming mechanism, water desalination preferential tax policy, increase the intensity of desalination investment and financing, guarantee water desalination project land with the sea, increase the intensity of seawater desalination technology independent innovation, accelerate the pace of the seawater desalination equipment and independent production of major products.

In fact, the "opinions", the problem such as desalination in municipal pipeline network and pricing, has long been the industry concerned and need policy to solve the problem.

Earlier this year, the serious water shortage in tianjin in the first test to seawater desalination into scale input municipal water supply network system. But in practice, cost, technology, policy and a series of reasons, is still the bottleneck restricting the development of seawater desalination industry.

Asia desalination association secretary general Guo Youzhi said, "the tianjin xinjiang uygur power plant has a production capacity of 100000 tons/day, but due to concerns about the safety of seawater into the pipe network, the current daily only 8000 tons for water plants."

"Tianjin has commissioned seawater desalination association of northern xinjiang power plant into the network security research and analysis, crack, once this problem will help to seawater into the municipal pipe network." Guo Youzhi said.

The Yang Shangbao also said that the national development and reform commission is currently living with the ministry, the ministry of water resources related ministries and commissions such as to allow seawater into the municipal pipe network.

Yang Shangbao also said that the "twelfth five-year" period, the state will encourage the establishment of desalination, including investment, equipment, technology, industry association, the owner of learning, the combination of promoting the development of seawater desalination industry.

For the Chinese market prospects, desalination Yang Shangbao made summarized in one sentence: China desalination of spring is coming!

To cut billions "big cake"

In many measures escort development under the background of desalination, experts say, its huge market space desalination. The Chinese academy of engineering, hangzhou water treatment technology research and development center, a researcher at from high pointed out that at present our country desalination average annual growth of more than 20%.

Guo Youzhi told reporters that in 2015, the global water desalination market there will be the size of the $70 billion to $95 billion a year, seawater desalination industry the fastest growth is still in the Middle East, the second will be the Chinese market.

After Guo Youzhi told our reporter in an interview with has said, in the "twelfth five-year" period, seawater desalination in China is expected to reach 150 to 2 million tons/day, three or four times that of the existing production capacity, investment scale will reach 20 billion yuan.

Particularly noteworthy is that the recent countries proposed a series of industry policy is very importance to accelerate the pace of seawater desalination equipment and independent production of major products, promote water desalination material localization. In fact, as early as in July 2005, the national development and reform commission, the state oceanic administration, the ministry of finance jointly issued the "seawater desalination special planning" is put forward, by 2020 desalination equipment localization rate of 90% or more.
