TIWW and CE Taiwan
Make a Splash in a New Era of Water Value

Organized by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the Taiwan International Water Week (TIWW) and Circular Economy (CE Taiwan) will be concurrently held at Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 1 on September 24-26, 2020. In addition, the "Water Culture in New Era" International Forum hosted by the Water Resources Agency (WRA) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs will also be convened at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) on September 23-25. The combination of two-in-one exhibition and an international forum is expected to attract business opportunities for multiple applications of water resources and circular economy.

Clean and Energy-saving CDI Technology Sets New Standard for Water Purification

Some technologies in the water treatment industry have entered their mature stage. On the basis of little difference in water purification effects, operational efficiency has become a new competitive keyword, and it also goes in line with the sustainable energy-saving trend to focus on life cycle carbon footprint in recent years. In 2019, the Organic Filter Co., Ltd. officially launched in Taiwan the "Capacitive De-Ionization” (CDI) technology that only a few companies in the world can master. As the CDI technology has such characteristics as low energy consumption (Only 0.5 kWh is needed to process a ton of water), high water yield (greater than 85%) and high operational flexibility (easiness for customization), it is not only more environmentally friendly, but also provides enterprises with a new and highly flexible deployment option with low operating costs.

Leading Technologies Protect Water Source Areas for Sustainability of Water Resources

Having doubled in frequency in recent years, heavy rains wash away large amounts of soil and silt from the mountain slopes, not only causing serious siltation in the main dams in Taiwan, but also affecting their water storage capacity and service life and imposing long-term water shortage risks in the future. Moreover, when the scours enter the catchment areas, they may cause eutrophication, thus deteriorating the quality of raw water and successively increasing the costs of water purification and sludge treatment and shooting up the risks in algal poisoning in the water purification plants. Those are the phenomena that may cause many uncertainties in water resources for people's livelihood and industrial uses.

Black Water Is Turned into Blue Gold
Reclaimed Water Helps Industries Survive Climate Change

In recent years, affected by extreme weather, Taiwan has faced drought - flood abrupt alternation, which poses a severe test for the stability of water use in cities and industries. According to the Global Water Intelligence (GWI) data, the global water industry grows more than 4% annually on average. As all countries are fully committed to this emerging market and industry, Taiwan is no exception. With the vigorous development of domestic high-tech industries, Taiwanese manufacturers have developed unique competitive advantages in high-end water treatment technology by integrating precision materials and application information and communication technologies. This has driven the birth of "reclaimed water industry" and brought new development opportunities for Taiwan's water industry. READ MORE
