Beijing Biogas Measured With UK Analyser
Trade Partnership Agreed in China
Modern Water (UK), the owner of water technologies for the production of fresh water and monitoring of water quality, has signed a Framework Agreement with Hangzhou Development Centre of Water Treatment Technology, Company Limited (“Hangzhou Water”) in the People’s Republic of China.
The new partnership will allow both organisations to jointly identify and develop projects in China, including seawater desalination plants and other water-related opportunities.
Hangzhou Water is a key player in the water industry in China and is owned by National BlueStar (Group) Co, Ltd which is part of the state-owned China National Chemical Corporation. Hangzhou Water specialises in membrane systems which have different industrial uses such as seawater desalination, industrial pure water preparation and water reuse.
Hangzhou Water has won or been involved in approximately 60% of China’s current or planned desalination projects. Hangzhou Water has engineer, procure and construct (“EPC”) contracts as well membrane manufacturing and fabrication facilities.
The partnership with Hangzhou Water further strengthens Modern Water’s position in China. Last year the Group appointed a non-executive chairman to drive business development in the region. This appointment was supported by the growth of Modern Water’s Monitoring Technologies division in China which last year contributed sales of more than £500k to the Group.
The agreement was signed in Hangzhou recently by Mr Neil McDougall, Executive Chairman of Modern Water and Mr Zheng Genjiang, Board Chairman of Hangzhou Water. Senior guests at the signing included Mr Liu Shaohua, Deputy General Manager of Hangzhou’s parent company, Bluestar; Mr Brian Davidson, British Consul General Shanghai; and Mr Zhou HuaFu, Deputy Director of Zhejiang Province Development and Reform Committee.
At the Liulitun landfill in Haidian District of Beijing, the operator specified their requirement for a landfill gas analyser with ‘high accuracy and strong stability’. After a competitive pitch by Geotech (UK) distributor, Onuee Electronics, they selected the Geotech GA3000 fixed landfill gas analyser.
Landfill operation started in 1999 at the Liulitun landfill and it continues to take 1,500 tonnes of waste every day. Currently it has four flares and the site operator uses the Geotech GA3000 to measure methane concentration of the landfill gas.
The GA3000 fixed landfill gas and biogas analyser can be user installed in seven simple steps. Throughout its worldwide installations Geotech reports over 99% up-time. In addition to methane, the other gases the system analyses as standard are carbon dioxide and oxygen. Optionally, the new GA3000 PLUS measures high-range hydrogen sulphide at 0-10,000ppm and low ranges of 0-50ppm.
It also features multiple sample points enabling the GA3000 PLUS to measure landfill gas from different parts of a landfill as it goes into separate flares or CHP engines.

Neil McDougall, Executive Chairman of Modern Water, commented: “We are very excited to be extending our presence in China and we look forward to working with Hangzhou Water. This partnership of like-minded and skilled organisations should lead to an abundance of opportunities and offer world leading solutions to the water and wastewater industry, such as our cost and energy-saving desalination technology.
It is an exciting development with sources estimating the industry in China will see new investment of up to RMB20 billion (US$3.2billion) over the next four years.”
Zheng Genjiang, Board Chairman of Hangzhou Water, added: “Our aim is to be at the forefront of water technology and this partnership with Modern Water is another strategic move that will build on this and improve our international reach. We believe that this partnership is the start of a long-standing relationship with Modern Water, who has a leading position in the field of FO technology, and Hangzhou Water with our innovative capability and industrial scale in China.”
