NX Filtration supports water efficiency upgrade at power plant in Jiangsu, China
NX Filtration supports water efficiency upgrade at power plant in Jiangsu, China
Hengelo, the Netherlands, 12 March 2026
A large coal-fired power plant in Jiangsu Province, China, has upgraded its water treatment system with ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology from NX Filtration to improve water efficiency, operational reliability and wastewater reuse.
The installation provides pretreatment for several key processes at the plant, including boiler make-up water production, circulating cooling water treatment and wastewater resource recovery. By efficiently removing suspended solids, colloids and microorganisms, the ultrafiltration system significantly improves feed water quality and protects downstream treatment processes such as reverse osmosis.
The membrane system is designed to deliver stable operation with strong fouling resistance and low chemical consumption, helping reduce operational costs while maintaining reliable long-term performance.
As a key energy provider in the region, the power plant requires highly stable water treatment performance to support the operation of its ultra-supercritical generation units. Since commissioning, the system has achieved excellent water quality indicators, including low turbidity and SDI levels, exceeding typical industry standards for pretreatment.
A representative of the power plant comments: “Reliable pretreatment is essential for maintaining stable plant operation and protecting downstream treatment systems. The ultrafiltration technology helps us achieve consistent water quality while supporting our goals for water conservation and efficient plant operation.”
Shaohua Hu, Country Manager China at NX Filtration, comments: “Industrial customers in China are increasingly focusing on water efficiency and sustainable operation. With our hollow fiber membrane technology we help power plants improve pretreatment performance, protect downstream systems and increase water reuse.”
The project highlights the growing role of advanced membrane technology in supporting sustainable water management in China’s energy sector. Through innovative membrane technology, NX Filtration supports green industrial development and contributes to China’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions (Dual Carbon Goals) and improve resource efficiency.
