In 2025, driven by both policy dividends and technological innovation, the water industry has completed a key transformation from "scale expansion" to "quality improvement".
This year, the "dual carbon" target has continued to deepen, and the synergistic effect of pollution reduction and carbon reduction has become the core direction of the industry. The market size of industrial wastewater treatment has reached 82.32 billion yuan, and breakthroughs have been made in multiple fields such as resource utilization, urban drainage network upgrading, and smart water construction——As the lifeline of urban waterlogging control and sewage collection, the drainage network has become the core of renovation:The intensive implementation of projects such as the repair of old pipeline networks and the diversion of rainwater and sewage has led to explosive growth in sub sectors such as non excavation repair of pipeline networks; MBR、 Key technologies such as advanced oxidation are accelerating their implementation, and the harmless disposal of sludge is expanding synchronously. At the same time, the dynamic management of pollutant discharge permits and the intensive introduction of new emission regulations for key industries have promoted the industry towards standardization and refinement, laying the foundation for the start of the 15th Five Year Plan in 2026.
Entering 2026, the water industry is standing at a new starting point. The 15th Five Year Plan clarifies policy guidance, and technological bottlenecks such as high salt and high COD wastewater and total nitrogen emission reduction need to be overcome; Among the "dual" projects of the National Development and Reform Commission in 2026, about 220 billion yuan will focus on supporting 281 projects such as drainage pipe network, and the ultra long term special treasury bond will give up to 70% of the investment support to drainage pipe network projects, so that funds from all over the country can be used to leverage the market space. The integration of AI and water treatment, industrial waste heat and resource recovery, and other emerging directions urgently require collaborative research and development among industry, academia, and research institutions; Deepening the application of technologies such as digital twins, intelligent monitoring of drainage networks has become the core competitiveness of enterprises, and the integration of industrial and urban water affairs, as well as the construction of a water resource circulation system, have become high-quality development propositions.
In this context, an annual grand event that gathers industry wisdom, links high-quality resources, and solves development pain points is about to kick off.On May 26-27,The 6th Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Resource Utilization Summit in 2026The Urban Water Development and Pipeline Network Conference will be grandly held in Hefei, Anhui.
At present, the conference has gathered heavyweight guests from the entire industry chain, coveringWater operation, industrial environmental protection, engineering design, technology research and developmentIn core areas, various benchmark units gather together:
·Benchmark enterprise in water operation:Baowu Water Research Institute, Jiangsu Fangyang Water Co., Ltd., and China Energy Conservation Guozhen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. bring practical experience in water operation management and low-carbon transformation;
·Leading representative of industrial environmental protection:Huabei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and others focus on the pain points and difficulties of industrial wastewater treatment, sharing industry-specific solutions;
·Authoritative Institution for Engineering Design:Interpretation of cutting-edge engineering technology and project design ideas by China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd., Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute, China Kunlun Engineering Co., Ltd., etc;
·Core strength of technology research and development:Core strength of technology research and development: Top experts, scholars, and technical directors from the industry attended together to deeply analyze key technological innovations and equipment applications such as advanced oxidation, electrocatalytic oxidation, recycled water utilization, sewage energy conservation and carbon reduction, drainage quality and efficiency improvement, pipeline network renovation, and non development and repair.
Among them, Li Enchao, Vice President of Baowu Water Research Institute, and Li Tao, Technical Director of China Energy Conservation Guozhen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., will share cutting-edge technological achievements in the field of water management; Wang Yongjun, Vice President of the Central Research Institute of North China Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., focuses on the new situation and countermeasures faced by pharmaceutical industry wastewater treatment; Tong Yanjie, Director of the Environmental Business Department of China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd., has been deeply involved in the field of wastewater resource utilization, bringing practical experience in benchmark projects; Jiang Yun, Deputy General Manager of Jiangsu Fangyang Water Affairs Co., Ltd., explained in detail the research and practice of low-carbon resource utilization technology for industrial wastewater based on concentration negotiation; Wang Xiqing, technical consultant of Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute and a high school teacher, conducted in-depth interpretation on the utilization of recycled water resources; China Kunlun Engineering Co., Ltd.'s professional chief engineer Xiang Wei focuses on the application of core technologies such as advanced oxidation and electrocatalytic oxidation. A group of experts will work together to create an industry feast full of practical knowledge.
As the annual core exchange platform for six consecutive sessions in the water industry, this conference is guided by the Green Energy and Ecological Environmental Protection Branch of the China International Association for the Promotion of Science and Technology, supported by the Green Low Carbon Innovation Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Association and the Hefei Ecological Environment Protection Association. With the theme of "upstream and downstream resource docking, jointly building green water ecology", after five sessions of precipitation, it has become a benchmark event for industry policy interpretation, technical exchange, and resource docking.
The highlights of the conference are diverse, not only gathering industry policy makers, top experts and scholars, and representatives of leading enterprises, but also building a high-end dialogue platform, creating an exclusive supply and demand docking area, and helping water treatment manufacturers, water groups, industrial end-users, research institutes and other precise matching and cooperation resources.
At present, the early bird discount of the conference is entering the countdown. We sincerely invite colleagues from the upstream and downstream of the water industry to seize the accumulation and limited time discounts of the six grand events, go to Hefei together to discuss the development of the industry, and work together to open a new chapter of green and high-quality development in 2026!
