Pollution intensifies the monitoring instrument industry

Recently, the excessive benzene incident in the water pollution crisis in Lanzhou has once again triggered public concerns and concerns about drinking water safety. Water pollution has not only seriously affected the lives of the people in Lanzhou, but also hurt the nerves of the people throughout the country. Information disclosure and water quality monitoring have become urgently needed. To this end, Chen Mingzhong, director of the Water Resources Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the protection of water sources to ensure that drinking water sources are not polluted and to jointly promote the prevention of sudden water pollution incidents with related departments. Water quality monitoring of rivers and lakes. With the gradual advancement of policies, water quality monitoring in the future market space will be very gratifying.

It is understood that Lanzhou Veolia Water Group Co., Ltd. is a state-controlled enterprise in this incident. Its predecessor was the Lanzhou Water Supply Group. In 2007, it accepted the French Veolia Group's share of 1.71 billion yuan, which is 1 times the premium. At 45%, the company is responsible for the supply of 2.4 million people in the four districts of Lanzhou Chengguan, Xigu, Qilihe and Anning. As France's Veolia Group, ranked first in the world's water sector, operates in more than 70 countries around the world, it has been controversial due to repeated water safety problems in Qingdao, Shanghai, and Haikou.

Apart from the responsibility of water companies, the government should also reflect on this incident. Since March 6, there have been many pungent odors in Lanzhou City. However, on March 10, the Propaganda Department of Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee also issued information that the Lanzhou City Government has taken measures to respond to the odor problem in the tap water, and correctly guided public opinion at the same time. In fact, at that time, even why there was some odor in the tap water was not investigated clearly, and the effectiveness of its response measures can be imagined. On April 11, when the drinking water crisis broke out in a wide range, the credibility of the government was greatly reduced.

How can disclosure of information in denials and recognitions be trusted by the public? The occurrence of such incidents has made government information transparent and transparent. This is the government's commitment to the people. However, in the face of specific incidents, how high this kind of transparency can really affect people's judgment on the credibility of the government. In the Lanzhou water pollution incident, the information release that lags behind 18 hours not only does not allow the masses' doubts to dissipate, but instead acts like a catalyst for fear of escalation. The water quality is contaminated and can be quickly restored through technical means. The trust of the government can be contaminated, but it cannot be clarified one day or two.

After the hard-earned drinking water safety alarm bell, in addition to focusing on these hard injuries, we must also pay attention to the danger of water. According to the “Research Report on the Environmental Exposure Behavior Pattern of Chinese Population” published by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in March, the water quality standards for reservoirs, lakes, and groundwater sources in China are far from satisfactory, with 250 million residents living in residential areas close to key polluting enterprises and traffic arteries. 280 million residents use unsafe drinking water. This shows that solving the problem of drinking water quality is a matter of no delay.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Supervision, there has been a high incidence of water pollution incidents in China in the past 10 years, and water pollution accidents have been over 1,700 each year in recent years. In cities and towns across China, the population of drinking water sources is not safe and the population involved is 140 million people. According to the data recently released by the Ministry of Water Resources, at present, 11% of the water quality of reservoir water sources in China is not up to standard, and about 70% of the water quality of lake water sources is not up to standard. About 60% of the water quality of groundwater sources is not up to standard. Pipes delivered to water plants (such as gravity drains) are contaminated. In the water plant, the general treatment method is old, 97% of the water plants use the old process, mainly to eliminate microbial pollution, and the other 3% to take the deep process, can remove organic compounds and heavy metal ions and other pollution. The excess of disinfection additives in water plants is almost the unspoken rule of each water plant. The old water pipes in the city also affect the water supply security of tap water to varying degrees.

Drinking water flows out of the water source and generally goes through pipe networks, water tanks, reservoirs, and so on. There were 4,232 secondary pollution incidents in the water quality of the pipeline networks in 184 large and medium-sized cities in China from 2000 to 2003.

This shows that China’s drinking water is facing a great crisis. To this end, China should actively promote environmental protection work, and at the same time promote environmental protection, increase investment in related monitoring equipment, draw scientific data, and formulate more reasonable policies and guidelines.

Water quality monitoring needs to be well guarded. Director of the Water Resources Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, Chen Mingzhong, pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the protection of water sources to ensure that drinking water sources are not polluted, and to jointly promote the prevention of sudden water pollution incidents and strengthen the water quality of rivers and lakes. monitor.

In the industry analysis, the environmental monitoring system in most regions has not yet been established. The procurement of environmental monitoring equipment and construction supervision networks are the focus of the next phase. Blocks with obvious pollution such as water pollution will become the key purchase targets in the short term. It can be expected that China's environmental monitoring instrument market will still have considerable investment demand during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. It is expected that with the gradual expansion of automatic detection technologies and applications, industry research and analysis said that according to the current Ministry of Environmental Protection's investment plans for key river basins, only the water quality monitoring market scale will reach nearly 20 billion yuan, and the market space in the future will be very gratifying.

It is understood that the implementation of the National Water Quality Monitoring Center for Concentrated Water Sources will promote the construction of an online water quality monitoring network at the same level as the PM2.5 network. There are currently 4,555 centralized water sources in China, and the total number of on-line monitoring equipment installed is less than 400 units.

From the perspective of water supply, with the deepening of the pollution of water sources and the improvement of new tap water standards, it is imperative for the existing water plant to upgrade its technology and upgrade the pipe network. In addition, there is a large market demand for small household water purifiers. With respect to drainage, there is still room for improvement in the treatment rates of living, industrial and agricultural sewage, and treatment technologies, and related wastewater treatment companies will continue to benefit from it.

Such as technical advantages of the water treatment equipment Yuan Li shares, Jin membrane technology, etc.; in the monitoring and sewage discharge standards, Tianrui equipment, environmental protection, the first shares, Wan Bangda and other leading sewage treatment. In addition, the upgrading of relevant water supply and drainage pipelines will be beneficial to giant pipe management companies, Qinglong Pipe and other listed companies.
