As the pace of population concentration and industrial upgrading accelerates in the regionandmajor projects like the Huawei LianqiuLakeR&D Center have driven a surge in water demand,the Xicen Water Purification Plant commenced commercial operationsrecently.

This significant project not only marks a critical step in upgrading the infrastructure of the demonstration zone but also empowers ecological management with technology, injecting green momentum into high-quality regional development.

Located in the core area of Xicen Science and Innovation Town, the new plant covers 33muand utilizes a fully underground intensive construction model. It adheres to the quasi-surface water Class III standard, making it one of the nation’s top-performing underground sewage treatment plants.

The facility includes comprehensive processes such as sewage pretreatment, secondary biological treatment, advanced treatment, disinfection, sludge treatment, and deodorization, along with intelligent management systems, landscaping, and municipal pipelines.

The new sewage plant employs internationally leading wastewater treatment technology with a daily capacity of 25,000 tons, expandable to 50,000 tons in the future, meeting the developmental needs of the demonstration zone’s initial launch area.

The facility also integrates technologies like industrial internet and smart robotics, fully combining big data and artificial intelligence to achieve precise spatial awareness of people, objects, and machines, real-time monitoring with 3D visualization, and creating a smart sewage plant based on the "digital twin" concept for comprehensive perception, scientific decision-making, and intelligent management.

In its design, the new sewage plant fully considers sustainability and environmental protection concepts. Through fully underground construction and integration with surface ecological landscapes, it creates open green spaces and leisure trails, effectively "hiding" industrial facilities within urban spaces, providing citizens with new green, water-friendly environments, and vividly interpreting the concept of "environmentally friendly" infrastructure.
