Material Empire

Qin Hai just smiled at the clamor of Bernice. Facts speak louder than words. If you want to destroy the pride of these arrogant European companies, you can only speak with your own products. Various other explanations are unnecessary.

With a spirit of perseverance, Bernice went on to harass Henlock and Bessborough and others, repeatedly emphasizing that there is no such thing as a superfiltration membrane in the world. The so-called superfiltration membrane is only Chinese Just a lie made up. In this regard, Bethborough has nothing to say, and Henlock is constantly appeasing Bernice, emphasizing that he has always believed in the Warren Group, so he will agree to try the products of the Daqin Group, purely to satisfy Prince Flandin. Requirements.

Bernice's objection did not have any effect. Flandin firmly stated that he must determine whether to choose after watching the performance of China's superfiltration membranes. This requirement is reasonable, and Henlock can't refute it, so he can only wait for China. People brought over the superfiltration membrane.

Two days later, a large truck came to Le Havre with a 1,000-square-meter super-filter membrane produced by Daqin Group. The same car arrived, as well as Pujiang Haijie's boss Xia Yangjie and chief engineer Yu Lihong.

"Lao Xia, Yu Gong, worked hard."

Qin Hai stepped forward and shook hands with Xia Yangjie and Yu Lihong, the servants of the dust.

"No hard work, just a few of us on a special plane, sitting too comfortable." Yu Lihong replied with a smile.

The filter membrane is a thin film less than 1 micron thick, which can rupture with almost a gentle breath. In order to increase the strength of the filter membrane, the practice is to add a layer of porous fabric on each side of the filter membrane to protect the filter membrane in the middle. This is the case with the filter membrane that Yu Lihong brought. The two layers of fabric add up to about 5 mm. Like a thick synthetic fabric.

After being folded, the 1,000-square-meter filter membrane is only a few cubic meters in size and can be transported by ordinary air consignment methods. However, flights from China to France are only available in Beijing and Pujiang. Jintang is a small place. There are no international flights at all. You can only transport the goods to Pujiang first, and then wait for the flights to France. This will take two days. Immediately after hearing about this, Flanding ordered his men to charter a special plane and fly directly from Jintang to Paris. This saves time in transit. Such a large plane only transports a few cubic meters of material and several Chinese engineers such as Xia Yangjie and Yu Lihong are really extravagant.

Yu Lihong has also gone abroad several times in the past, but this is the first time that he has flown abroad by a special plane. No wonder he will say that he is not working hard at all.

Hearing that China's superfiltration membrane had arrived, Germer contacted Henlock immediately. Ready to start testing. As a representative of the Warren Group, Bernice was also informed to take the filter membrane of the Warren Group to the experimental site and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each product on the spot.

The test method for the filter membrane is very simple, which is to use a large container and separate the filter membrane into two parts. Sewage is injected from above and then penetrates to the lower layer through a filter membrane. If the filtration membrane is effective, the water quality of the lower layer should be able to achieve the desired filtration effect. Based on the amount of water filtered per hour, the filtration efficiency of the filtration membrane can be evaluated.

As soon as I came to the experimental site. Bernice regretted it. The performance of the filter membrane of Warren Company, Bernice is very clear, the filtering effect is naturally impeccable. But the index of permeate flux is far from meeting the requirements of cleaning engineering. This test, no matter what the results, Warren will not be selected as the filter membrane provider, it can be said that this is a war worthless to Warren.

If it's just worthless, that's it. The key issue is if the filter membranes of Daqin Group can really reach the targets they claim. Then Warren Company became the backing of Daqin Group, and it was the backing of the failure. This is for Warren. It is a great shame.

However, things are up to now. It was also impossible for Bernice to quit. If the Chinese provided a superfiltration membrane, Warren would not even have the courage to participate in the comparison. How would the media comment? Without Warren's comparison, Chinese products, even if they are bad, will be paid attention because they are the only products. Warren will still lose face.

The only hope now is that the performance of Chinese products is not good, and Warren's products are firmly on the upper hand, leaving the Chinese with nothing to say, and at the same time letting Henlock, Germer, Flandin and others die. However, judging by the aspirations of Qin Hai and others, Bernice really lacked confidence in this result.

"Mr. Bernice, can you get started?" An experimenter from the French Ministry of Ecology approached Bernice and asked him.

Bernice recovered his confused thoughts, looked up, and saw that the filter membrane sample he had brought was installed, and he could start the filtration test. He sighed secretly, nodded, and said, "It's time to start."

The seawater containing the chemicals and the oily decomposition products was injected into the test container. Under the action of the water pressure, the seawater began to permeate through the filter membrane and dripped to the lower layer of the container. Looking from the side, the underside of the filter membrane is like the eaves of a rainy day, and large drops of water are constantly generated, and they continue to fall, and accumulate in the lower layer.

The experimenter stepped forward, scooped a glass of water from the bottom of the container with the measuring cup, and then started the analysis test next to it. The results were reported from the experimenter's mouth:

"Surfactant residue, below 0.5 ..."

"Oil pollution particles, below 0.1 ..."

"Salt, pass ..."

"..."

There was a smile on the corner of Bernice's mouth. The filter membrane he brought withstood the test. The filtration effect completely met the expected requirements. The technical advantages of Warren Group in the field of filter membranes were not blown.

"Infiltration flux is 0.22 cubic meters per square meter per day."

The last data report came out. Henlock and others watching it gently breathed out. The filtration effect was good. Unfortunately, the permeation flux was too low. According to this filtration speed, how much time is needed to filter millions of tons of water? what.

"This is also the expected result," Bessborough whispered. "This is why I think that the use of membranes to filter wastewater is completely unfeasible."

"So, can the filtration membranes provided by the Chinese have a higher permeation flux?" Henlock asked.

"According to them, it should be possible, but ..." Bessborough dragged a long voice, and the subtext was only left to everyone to guess.

Gomer said: "Now that China's filtration membranes have arrived, it will be able to achieve their claimed performance, and you will know by trial and error. Let us look at the experimental results of Chinese filtration membranes."

Several people left the experimental site of the Warren Company and came to the experimental site of filtration membranes in China. Bernice and Crowden were also quick to keep up. In any case, they had to look around, lest their Chinese counterparts rely on cheating to win.

When a person came to the experimental device, Xia Yangjie and Yu Lihong already assembled the filter membrane. As the chief engineer of developing this kind of superfiltration membrane, Yu Lihong, although fully confident in his work, is unavoidably nervous at this moment. He repeatedly checked the encapsulation, for fear of leaks.

"This is the filter membrane produced by the Chinese? IMHO, this looks like the technical level of Warren Company 20 years ago." Bernice looked at the filter membrane of Daqin Group and said with a sneer.

It is also a filter membrane covered with two layers of fabrics. Compared with the products of the Warren Group, the products of the Daqin Group are really appalling. The surface of the filter membrane of Warren Group looks very neat, the fibers are smooth, and the luster is faint. The surface of the filter membrane of Daqin Group is rough and uneven, and even the thread ends of some fibers can be seen, how it looks like a sack.

Franding had some trust in Qin Hai. After looking at the filter membranes on both sides, he was a little discouraged. After all, Warren Group is an old giant enterprise, and its strength is there. As a rookie, Daqin Group is far from Warren Company. From such a small detail, we can see the clue.

"Mr. Bernice, the quality of the filter membrane does not seem to depend on whether the surface fabric is beautiful or not?" Qin Hai smiled heartlessly and said to Bernice, "The surface fabric is just to protect the filter membrane, even if No matter how good-looking it is, it doesn't work, what do you say? "

Qin Hai's words ~ www.readwn.com ~ is also a strong word. If the technology level of Jintang Chemical Group is higher, of course, he is willing to make the filter membrane more beautiful. But this is the reality, and he does not have enough time to improve the surface treatment process, so he can only use this words to cover up his gap.

Of course, Bernice also knows that Qin Hai is quibbling, but he can't find any reason to refute, but can only shrug his shoulders and say, "Maybe you are right, let everyone see the actual effect."

"Well, start testing now." Qin Hai saw that Li Lihong had completed the inspection and issued instructions to the experimenter.

The same sewage was injected into the experimental container, and at the same time, the sound of rushing water was heard in everyone's ears. Everyone has just come from the experimental device of the Warren Group, and has become accustomed to the clicking sound of sewage passing through the filter membrane. At the first hearing of this sound of running water, everyone's first reaction was: Did the filter membrane leak?

I saw below the filter membrane that the filtered seawater flowed down like a small waterfall, and the water curtain was dense, apparently permeated through countless micropores, and it was not a leaky feeling at all.

Bernice's face suddenly turned white. According to this permeation speed, the filtration efficiency was more than a hundred times that of Warren Company! (To be continued)
