Because seawater contains a large number of corrosive substances, the pipe network used for seawater treatment must have strong corrosion resistance, and the copper pipe production industry with this corrosion resistance is expected to benefit. However, in China, the copper pipe production enterprises are small, the total production capacity is insufficient, the production technology and equipment level is uneven, and the product quality needs to be improved. It is urgent to vigorously promote technological innovation, establish industrial alliances, and make the industry bigger and stronger.
The "Copper Industry to promote the Development of seawater desalination thermal Process Seminar" jointly organized by the International Copper Association and the China Non-Ferrous Metals Association was recently held. Participating experts and enterprises focused on the "Twelfth Five-Year" desalination technology development plan, seawater desalination engineering design specifications for thermal power plants, thermal process status and future development trends.
