BRICS project supported team won a national large project on membranes recently
National Key Research and Development Program on "Key Technologies and Applications for High-Efficiency Water Purification Membranes" kicked-off.
On March 16, 2024, the kickoff meeting of the National Key Research and Development Program's Special Project " Key Technologies and Applications for High-Efficiency Water Purification Membranes" was successfully held at the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (referred to as "SARI"), headed by Professor Tao He from SARI. The project consortium consists of ten nationally known teams including CAS, Tongji University, Zhejiang University, and multiple membrane and equipment manufacturers and process design consultant. The project aims to develop high performance ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes and short energy efficient processes for efficiently remove trace micropollutants from surface water for safe drinking.
In the coming three years, we will work together to build a novel membrane-based technology for Chinese safe drinking water ambition and hopefully our BRICS countries will also benefit from our expertise. We are proud to announce this great news to our BRICS project team because this project has been based on the seeding funds from our two BRICS projects between 2019-2021 and 2023-2025. We will continue our collaboration and bring world leading technologies for the health and economic development of BRICS countries in the near future.
