Chapter 518: Super Filter Membrane
"Who is this man?"
"I've never seen it, it's not like an expert from the Ministry of Ecology."
"Of course it won't be an expert, don't you see how young he is? He came with Professor Gemmer, maybe he was a PhD student of Professor Gemmer, right? ”
"It's still an oriental face, is it Japanese?"
"No, no, no, the Japanese don't look like this, I guess he should be Chinese."
"Chinese? No wonder ......"
There was a buzz in the venue, and all the experts had the same idea, and they all thought that Qin Hai's suggestion was whimsical. Let's ask, how could a young man come up with an idea that everyone couldn't think of? It's clear that I don't understand anything, and I don't know how to converge.
Besborough, who considers himself an absolute authority on marine oil pollution treatment, spoke with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, not so much asking as questioning:
"Do you know how much water you need to use to flush these sands, sir? If this water is not discharged into the sea, where else can it go? ”
The basic idea of dealing with oil on the beach is to decompose the oil with chemicals to make it lose its viscosity and become smaller molecules, and then wash it with seawater to wash the decomposed products into the sea. Due to the large area of oil pollution and the use of many chemicals, the seawater used to wash the beach is also calculated in the million-ton scale, and the water needs to be pumped by dozens of high-horsepower pumps, and repeatedly washed from top to bottom.
If it's just a small amount of seawater, it can be recycled in some way and then disposed of. But with such a large amount of water, it is very difficult to recycle, how many giant tanks do you have to hold so much wastewater?
For Besborough's questioning, Qin Hai was also prepared for a long time. It would be strange if his proposal was unanimously agreed. He smiled and replied, "It's simple, filter it into harmless clean water and then discharge it into the sea." ”
"Filtering?" Gemo frowned and asked Qin Hai, "Qin, can you elaborate on it." How to filter these oil decomposition products out of seawater. ”
"Use a membrane for filtration." Qin Hai said, "In the sea area where the oil pollution is to be treated, a fence is made with a filter membrane, and after the seawater that washes the beach flows into the sea, it is blocked by this fence, and it can only flow out through the filter membrane, and the seawater that flows out is harmless clean water." ”
"Membranes? That's one way to do it. Gemmer nodded slightly.
The so-called filter membrane is a general term for a large class of membrane materials with filtration capacity. Depending on the filter substance, the filter membrane can include thousands. Filter membranes are used to purify sewage or exhaust gases. It is not a new technology, as early as the 6o years there were relatively mature products, and in the following decades, various new filter membranes were also emerging one after another.
The working principle of the filter membrane is to let the liquid or gas that needs to be filtered pass through the filter membrane, and the impurities in it cannot pass through the gap of the filter membrane because of the large particles or other special properties, so as to play the role of filtration.
Qin Hai's idea is to make a barrier with a filter membrane on the coast. The toxic cleaning wastewater is discharged into the sea through a filter membrane, thus avoiding the danger of wastewater to marine life. This option if it works. It is also effective for cleaning up oil pollution on the sea surface.
Besborough is of course also aware of such a thing as filtration membranes, which are sometimes used in marine oil treatment. Hearing that Qin Hai's plan was this, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and he said, "I know the filter membrane you said, but as far as I know, the filtration capacity of the filter membrane is very limited. The amount of wastewater that can be treated per hour is only a dozen tons, and the maximum is tens of tons, and the wastewater produced by cleaning the beach can be as many as several million tons. How much time does it take? ”
Qin Hai still smiled and said, "Mr. Besborough, you are talking about ordinary filter membranes, if there is a filter membrane that can achieve higher filtration efficiency, can this problem be solved?" ”
"A more efficient membrane? Sorry, I've never heard of it. Besboro shrugged his shoulders and said.
"This is not surprising because this grade of filtration membrane has just been put into production and has not yet been put on the market on a large scale." Qin Hai responded.
"And how do you know?" Besborough asked subconsciously.
Qin Hai pointed to his nose and said, "Because this material is produced by my company, the filtration efficiency of the grade filter membrane we produce can reach more than 1oo times that of ordinary guò filter membranes. ”
"Which company are you talking about?" Besborough asked.
"China Daqin Industrial Group Jintang Chemical Materials Company." Qin Hai replied in a clear voice.
In a word, there was another commotion at the venue, who are these people, the venue for advertising to achieve emergency treatment has come up. What grade of filter membrane that everyone has never heard of is actually from a Chinese company, what Daqin Group, what Jintang, are names that have never been heard of, how can such a company produce materials with such excellent performance?
"Mr. Henlock, I don't know anything about the company he talked about or the material he introduced, so I don't have an opinion on the plan proposed by this gentleman." Besborough turned his head to Henlock and made an abstention.
Although what Besborough said was that he did not express an opinion, his expression itself represented an opinion, that is, he did not believe what Qin Hai said. Otherwise, he should at least say that he can try this solution, after all, when everyone is at a loss, any solution that has the potential to solve the problem is worth trying.
Everyone present could understand Besborough's subtext, and they all fell silent for a while, waiting for Henlock to speak. In everyone's mind, Qin Hai's statement is also skeptical, after all, there is a certain threshold for filter membrane technology, and China, which has always had no say in this field, suddenly claimed to have opened a stage of filter membrane, and the filtration capacity is 100 times stronger than other filter membranes, which makes everyone believe it?
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Qin." Gemo had to speak, Qin Hai was brought by him, everyone didn't believe Qin Hai, that is, they didn't believe him, if he didn't give an explanation, I am afraid that getting along with these experts in the future will also be questioned.
Mr. Qin is the chairman of China Daqin Industrial Group Corporation, a newly formed specialty materials company with total assets of US$5O. I met Mr. Qin at this International Materials Annual Conference, and his company's research institute provided 15 high-quality conference papers for this annual meeting. Gemo pointed out Qin Hai's identity in the simplest way.
"So, Mr. Gemer is confident in the grade filtration membrane that Mr. Qin said?" Henlock asked.
Gemo hesitated for a moment and said, "I only have confidence in Mr. Qin's strength, as for the grade filter membrane he mentioned, I haven't seen it, so I can't make a conclusion." ”
"What about the other gentlemen?" Henlock asked the crowd again.
Other people at the venue didn't have so much trust in Qin Haike, a $5o billion company may be considered a big enterprise in China, but compared to the international material giants, it is not ranked at all. In the minds of many people, China's level of science and technology is about the same as that of Africa, if one day someone suddenly tells you that a small country in Africa has a space shuttle, the first thought that comes to your heart is probably unbelievable, right?
"Mr. Henlock, I don't think it's irresponsible to pin the solution on a new material that is unfamiliar to everyone." said a French expert.
"Yes, we shouldn't waste our time discussing such a solution." Another expert chimed in.
Everyone expressed their opinions one by one, and there was only one point of view, that is, they thought that what Qin Hai said was nonsense, and everyone could just ignore it selectively. Gemmer listened to the words of his colleagues and wanted to argue for Qin Hai, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only turn his head and smile apologetically at Qin Hai.
Qin Hai still had a breezy expression on his face, he was indeed here to sell his own grade filter membrane, but he couldn't get everyone's trust, and it was also within his expectations. To reverse the concept of these national experts, it is not an overnight thing, for him, this promotion can be successful naturally better, not successful is not a loss, the technology of the filter membrane is placed there, sooner or later it can be convincing.
As for the loss of the entire anti-pollution operation because of the veto of his plan, it is even more irrelevant to him. The French are willing to smell the smell of crude oil, so let them smell it for a few more days, what about Qin Hai?
However, not all people can be so calm, and Flandin is one of those who is in a hurry. It can be said that he is the most affected by the efficiency of pollution control. The French government's claims are time-based, and for each additional day of pollution, the compensation is millions more.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you sure that there is no new type of filtration membrane in the world that can increase the filtration efficiency by 1oo times?" Dredge's words, he represents Flandin's interests, but if there is a possibility, he must fight for it.
"As far as I know, there is no such membrane." Besborough said arrogantly, in his heart, he didn't look down on either Qin Hai or Flandin, so he didn't mean to save face for the other party at all.
"But this young gentleman just said that they can produce this grade of filtration membrane, so why can't we give it a try?" Drech said coldly, "Shouldn't we try all the possibilities?" (To be continued!)
