Vol 2 Chapter 522: Defeated

"Such a fast filtration speed, this can never be a nanofiltration membrane!"
Bernice roared a bit desperately.
The filtration membrane relies on the micropores in the membrane to achieve filtration. The smaller the pore size, the smaller the particles of the material passing through the filtration. At the same time, under a certain water pressure, the penetration rate of water will be correspondingly reduced. According to theoretical calculations, the permeation flux of the nanofiltration membrane can only reach 2.5 at most, and this is only a theoretical limit value, which cannot be achieved in practice. The filtration membrane provided by Daqin Group has a permeation flux of at least 20, which is completely unscientific!
Bernice is a technical person. Of course, he can also think that the Chinese may have mastered a completely different filtering principle, which can greatly improve the filtering efficiency while taking into account the filtering effect. However, now that he has no way back, he cannot admit that he is inferior to others. He can only pour some dirty water on the opponent first, and then hope that the opponent will make some mistakes, and then use these mistakes to completely negate the opponent's products.
The experimenters were not affected by Bernice. When they saw that the filtration membrane was already working, they took samples step by step to check the filtered water quality.
"Surfactants, 1.3 ..."
"Oil particles, 0.4 ..."
"Salt, pass ..."
The results were reported one after another, and the people present were silent. Everyone intently turned their eyes on Bernice, with some unspeakable emotions in their eyes.
Da Qin Group's filter membrane is indeed inferior to Warren Group in terms of filtration quality, but it is still within the qualified range. In terms of the sea's self-purification ability. Increasing the concentration of some chemical residues in wastewater by a few parts per million will not have any ecological consequences at all. The filtration efficiency of the Daqin Group's filter membrane is hundreds of times that of the Warren Group, which is crucial.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of the results of this test." Henlock broke the silence first. He is the Minister of Ecology. He is the person in charge of the entire decontamination project, and the final decision is made by him. In fact, after reading this test, he already knew how to choose, but he still had to ask everyone's opinions first, so as to avoid any criticism from Warren Group.
"I think the superfiltration membranes provided by China are perfect." Flandin said first. For such a test result, he is the happiest other than a few from the Daqin Group. This is not only because the filter membranes of Daqin Group have solved the problem of oil pollution cleanup, but also because they let proud Europeans plant a fierce follower. As a rich man in the Middle East, he was able to feel the various disdains of Europeans towards him, and this time he was finally able to use the Chinese hand to give himself a bad breath.
"If the performance of the ultrafiltration membrane can be kept stable, I think it will be of great help to clean up the oil this time." Gomer said in a more conservative way. Show your attitude.
Bessborough turned to Qin Hai and asked, "Mr. Qin, how long does your superfiltration membrane last?"
"If you are dealing with ordinary oil pollution, it will take about five days." Xia Yangjie answered this question for Qin Hai.
"It's only been five days?" Crowden, who stood aside like a chicken, screamed proudly, "What's the life of our filter membrane is 8 to 12 weeks."
"It's not surprising." Qin Hai glanced at Crowden and said lightly.
"What isn't weird?" Crowdon asked in a puzzled way, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. Suddenly his face became red.
Isn't that strange? The filtration efficiency of other people's membranes is 100 times that of yours, although the service life is shorter. But the amount of filtered sewage is far more than yours. The rejection of filter membranes is often not because of damage, but because the residue after filtration adheres to the surface of the filter membrane, making the filter membrane lose its ability to filter, and the amount of residue is obviously directly related to the amount of filtered sewage.
"So, there is another question, what is the unit price of your filter membrane?" Bessborough asked in a calm tone. He also knew that the big picture was set. His previous disdain for Qin Hai has become a laughingstock in the face of the experimental results. All he can do now is to try to downplay the matter. Maintain a "fair" expert profile.
"The selling price of this kind of filter membrane is 70 dollars per square meter, if the purchase quantity exceeds 100,000 square meters, it can be reduced to 60 dollars." Xia Yangjie responded.
"What's the price of the Warren Group's filter membranes?" Bessborough asked again, turning to Bernice.
"$ 20 per square meter." Bernice replied in a frustrated tone. Considering the difference in the amount of sewage that the two filter membranes can handle, the price of Warren's $ 20 per square meter and the Daqin Group's $ 70 per square meter. Compared to that, there is no advantage at all.
The filtration efficiency is not good, the durability is not good, and the price is not competitive. In this test, Warren Group can be said to be completely defeated.
Knowing this, why should we come to Le Havre? Bernice kept blaming herself. The thought of telling them the news was Germer, Bernice could not help but feel a little bit resentful towards Germer, but after thinking about it, Germer did not ask them to come forward, but just told them that there was one thing. It is clear that the Warren Group underestimated the Chinese people's technical level, and then ran to Le Havre waiting for others to face.
Bethborough pulled Henlock and several other experts aside and whispered something. When Henlock appeared again in front of Qin Hai, the smile on his face seemed very kind.
"Mr. Qin, I formally propose cooperation to your company in the name of the French Ministry of Ecology. We hope that your company can provide us with 200,000 square meters of superfiltration membranes for the treatment of oil pollution on the beach and at sea in the next month. Can your company provide these products? "Henlock said.
"However, we will immediately organize production to ensure that it will not affect your cleanup work." Qin Hai solemnly answered.
"Okay, I hope we can cooperate happily." Henlock reached out to Qin Hai and said.
Qin Hai smiled and held Henlock's hand, and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Bethborough also came forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, you have done a very great thing. The amazing superfiltration membrane you produced will completely change the mode of offshore oil pollution treatment. I hope you can expand the production of filter membranes, because there will be many places around the world waiting to use your products. "
"Thank you Mr. Bessborough for his compliments, I hope Mr. Bessborough can do more publicity for us so that our products can better serve the protection of the world environment." Qin Hai said politely to Bessborough, seemingly forgotten This is the encounter between the two before.
A deal was thus finalized in a harmonious atmosphere. Henlock, Flanders, Bessborough and others all surrounded Qin Hai and talked easily and happily. In fact, they did not have any principle conflict with Qin Hai. Qin Hai's products can help them solve problems, so they naturally accepted this enviable young Chinese.
As for Bernice and Crowden, they could not stand still on such occasions. They were black-faced and quietly left the experimental site.
That evening, Flanding again hosted a grand banquet to entertain all the officials and experts who participated in the oil pollution cleanup work. Among them, the guests were naturally Qin Hai and other Chinese people. At the banquet, in addition to the first round of wine toasted by the crowd, the rest of the time stood with Qin Hai, the two talked in English and laughed.
"Mr. Qin, you saved my company. You are my best friend." Flandin said to Qin Hai for the first time.
"Prince Flandin, you are so kind. It is our pleasure that our products can solve some difficulties for the prince." Qin Hai said with a smile.
Flandin patted Qin Hai's shoulder and said, "No, no, Mr. Qin, you don't know how important this matter is to me. Without your superfiltration membrane, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt. Mr. Qin As a friend, I would like to be able to do something to repay your help. Is there anything you need me to do? "
"It seems ... nothing, right?" Qin Hai said embarrassed. A prince was crying and shouting that he had to do something to repay himself, but he couldn't think of anything that needed the help of the other party, which seemed a bit shameless.
It was obvious that Flandin could not step down. He said, "Are you not willing to give me a chance?"
"Well ... let me think about it." Qin Hai held the wine glass and began to contemplate, "His Royal Highness Prince, the filter membrane we produce can be used for desalination in addition to chemical sewage treatment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I wonder if your country does not have this demand? "
"Desalination? This is so important to us!" Flandin said excitedly. "You know, Saudi Arabia is a water-scarce country, and desalination is of strategic importance to us. Our current desalination plants are all made up of European companies are contracting, if you can provide desalination technology no less than Europe, I can urge the government to cooperate with you in this field. "
"Our technology is no less than that of Europeans. As we have seen today, we are stronger than Europeans in some respects." Qin Hai said confidently.
"Okay, let's just say it right. After I deal with the oil spill, I will return to China to contact this matter. I look forward to seeing you again in Riyadh," said Flandin.
Xia Yangjie sighed and watched their conversation, sighing, and whispered to Yu Lihong, "I'm really convinced. After just a while, President Qin talked about a big business. If you can Saudi Arabia's desalination project is at least a billion-dollar big project. "
"Haha, I have been convinced for a long time. Following President Qin, we will never have to worry about being idle." Yu Lihong raised his glass with a smile and said to Xia Yangjie. (To be continued)
