To promote the development and innovation of wastewater treatment technology, while driving technological advancement and validation, the emphasis is also on facilitating industry experience exchange and promoting the application of emerging wastewater treatment technologies in plants. This project assesses the applicability and feasibility for domestic manufacturers or business entities to adopt emerging wastewater treatment technologies, modules/equipment/materials, or combining automated monitoring and control technology modules. This project involves researching a total of 13 nitrogen wastewater treatment technologies, 6 heavy metal-containing wastewater treatment technologies, 4 color-containing wastewater treatment technologies, and 5 emerging pollutant (PFAS, antibiotics) wastewater treatment technologies. It integrates emerging wastewater treatment technologies from both domestic and international sources and simultaneously establishes a platform for emerging wastewater treatment industrial application. This platform provides opportunities for the experience exchange of emerging technologies and industry collaboration, aiming to meet the objectives of compliance with the 4L+C , enhancing wastewater management, and promoting the reuse of wastewater resources. Serving as reference points for the implementation of the project, three expert consultation meetings were conducted to gather suggestions from experts in various fields from industry, government, and academia. The on-site certifications include Membrane Capacitive Deionization (MCDI) technology and Air-Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) technology. These remove ammonia nitrogen and heavy metals from factory wastewater. The results confirm that MCDI technology effectively controls the water quality of the scrubber tower while achieving water-saving benefits for the tower system. The optimal operating conditions for AGMD technology are found to be an inlet temperature of 75°C, an inlet flow rate of 4 L/m, and a gap spacing of 0.6 mm between the membrane and the condensation plate. The treated water quality closely resembles that of tap water, making it reusable. The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) system is used to verify the credibility of innovative/improved technologies. This is in response to climate change, in line with international circular economy trends, and in support of the domestic 2050 net-zero carbon emission policy. Through collaborative efforts between industry, government, and academia, both domestic and international environmental innovation technology research and verification are promoted. This drive aims to advance novel wastewater treatment or resource recovery technologies, desalination, and water reuse technologies. These technologies hold significant potential for application in today's society, which faces water scarcity and emphasizes a circular economy. In order to promote emerging wastewater treatment technologies, an event named " Promotion of Emerging Wastewater Treatment Technologies ＆ Taiwan-India Sustainable Water Environment Forum" was held on September 18, 2023. The event included a press conference and invited 22 domestic and international experts and scholars in emerging wastewater treatment technologies, as well as industry representatives, for technical presentations and case sharing. Additionally, 12 emerging wastewater treatment technology-related research and equipment manufacturers were invited to participate in the exhibition to foster domestic industry, government, and academic technological exchange. Beyond the results presented during the event, this project also documented the implementation process, including expert consultation meetings, on-site certifications, application information platform development, and results presentation, serving as factual data regarding the outcomes of this project.
