经济日报：节水装备产业加速“链”式创新

Core Viewpoint - The "Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of Water-Saving Equipment (2025-2030)" aims to enhance the water-saving equipment industry, focusing on technological innovation, industrial upgrades, and talent cultivation to ensure national water security and support new industrialization [1][3]. Group 1: Water-Saving Equipment Development - By 2027, breakthroughs in key water-saving equipment and a more robust standard system are expected, along with the cultivation of leading enterprises and specialized "little giant" companies [1]. - By 2030, a comprehensive, technologically advanced water-saving equipment system is to be established, enhancing the supply capacity of high-performance, efficient, and reliable water-saving equipment [1][3]. Group 2: Industrial Water Efficiency - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has implemented actions to improve industrial water efficiency, achieving a 50% reduction in water usage per unit of industrial added value over the past decade while maintaining zero growth in total industrial water consumption [2]. - A policy framework for industrial water efficiency has been established, including the "Industrial Water Efficiency Improvement Action Plan" and "Industrial Wastewater Recycling Implementation Plan" [2]. Group 3: Key Tasks and Innovations - The plan emphasizes the need for breakthroughs in critical components, materials, and processes in water-saving equipment, aiming for a collaborative industrial chain that covers material research, equipment manufacturing, and system integration [3][5]. - The focus is on enhancing the efficiency of water-saving technologies in various industrial processes, particularly in high-water-consumption sectors like steel manufacturing [6]. Group 4: Challenges and Shortcomings - Despite having over 2,000 large-scale water-saving equipment manufacturers, the industry faces challenges such as over 50% reliance on imports for key components and low levels of equipment intelligence and system integration [4]. - The lack of a robust innovation mechanism and low conversion rates of scientific achievements hinder the industry's growth and international competitiveness [4]. Group 5: Technological Integration and Smart Solutions - The integration of new technologies like industrial internet, big data, and artificial intelligence is crucial for enhancing water-saving management efficiency [7]. - The plan promotes the digital transformation of the water-saving equipment industry, aiming to improve operational efficiency and resource utilization through smart monitoring and management systems [7][8]. Group 6: Policy Support and Talent Development - The MIIT will increase policy support for updating water-saving equipment and accelerating the development of necessary standards [8]. - There will be a focus on cultivating applied talent in water-saving disciplines to link the talent chain with the industry chain effectively [8].
