Оборудването за обезсоляване, независимо разработено от Института за обезсоляване на морска вода и цялостно използване, е изпратено до станцията Qinling в Антарктида България

Recently, the "Departure Ceremony of the 41st Chinese Antarctic Expedition Team" organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources was held in Guangzhou. Sun Shuxian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Director of the State Oceanic Administration, and leaders of relevant units attended the event. In addition to conventional scientific surveys, this Antarctic expedition also undertakes the expansion and renovation of the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station, as well as the construction of supporting facilities for the Antarctic Qinling Station. The desalination equipment independently developed by the Institute of Seawater Desalination and Comprehensive Utilization also went to the Qinling Station with the scientific expedition team.

Qinling Station in Antarctica is the fifth permanent scientific research station in my country, which will be opened on February 7, 2024. Due to the special geographical location, desalinated water will become the core source of living water for the scientific research station. After accepting this task, the Institute of Seawater Desalination and Comprehensive Utilization gave full play to its business characteristics and advantages, and actively participated in the overall design and water supply system research and development of Qinling Station. In view of the planning and water use characteristics of Qinling Station, and taking full account of Antarctic environmental factors, from the perspective of convenience, reliability and intelligence of operation and maintenance, the system design was carried out by skid-mounted "coding" method, and 2×20t/d seawater desalination drinking water equipment was developed. To ensure smooth installation and commissioning, a 1:1 offline installation test was carried out at the Lingang Experimental Base of the Institute of Seawater Desalination and Comprehensive Utilization, and the equipment has passed the factory acceptance.

The development of this seawater desalination equipment has received great attention from leaders at all levels. On October 17, Director Shen Jun of the Polar Expedition Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources led the Polar Center and China Railway Construction to our Lingang Base to accept the equipment system. During the period, Director Shen Jun highly recognized the processing and manufacturing of the equipment, and asked the project team to consider various factors in an all-round way, make full preparations for the subsequent commissioning and operation on the station, and ensure the safe and reliable use of the equipment on the station.

To ensure the smooth commissioning of the desalination equipment at the Qinling Station, the Institute of Seawater Desalination and Comprehensive Utilization selected Feng Tao, a key member of the project team, to accompany the expedition team to Antarctica. Before the Xuelong left the port, Director Xiang Wenxi went to Guangzhou to see Feng Tao off, hoping that Feng Tao could fully carry forward the spirit of "bravely fighting the extreme cold, perseverance, hard work, rigorous and realistic, and hard work" proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, resolutely complete the desalination equipment construction task undertaken by our institute, and look forward to a smooth return.
