Water is perhaps an indispensable part of life and it is also a must-have resource. For many countries or areas, to have clean, non-polluted water is a luxury.
HTG founder Lin Tseng‐Hsian [Frank Lin], has over 30 years of research under his belt and a qualified international professional environmental APEC engineer.
The company has over the years accrued a significant database through analyses of biological life forms in bodies of water and assessing the level of pollution in waters, leading to ever more rapid diagnosis of the condition of the water system.
The development of remote monitoring of effluent processing plants has allowed them to maximize the efficiency of chemical dosages used for water sanitation, as well as making changes to wastewater processing projects on the fly.
The company’s experience in this field gives them a significant insight of the industry and places them in a position to make suggestions on how to expand or make improvements, which in turn allows more efficient recycling and usage of water resources, ultimately giving the people more reliable sources of water to use.
In addition, HTG has, since 2019, began establishing an artificial intelligence program that could cross-analyze different micro-lifeforms based on the company’s massive data archives, a result of three decades of continued work in the industry. The program is to be paired with the Internet of Things concepts and expedite the rate of analysis for water-based micro-lifeforms.
Artificial Internet of Things (AIoT) is expected to be the future trend that would provide government agencies greater assistance when embarking on environmental engineering projects.
Assisting with the evaluation of the Matzu Reservoir water quality, improvements made to the water filtration system and allowing more freshwater for residents on Matzu Island.
The Matzu islands built its first reservoir in 1980 to provide a greater source of fresh water for the island’s residents. The presence of the military, residential areas and tourism on the upstream of the reservoir, however, increased the amount of pollution of water in the reservoir.
Lin, who had then recently graduated with a degree in Environmental Engineering, had been awarded the status of an honorary citizen after he helped test water quality for the Matzu Reservoir while also ameliorating the eutrophication problem, thus enhancing the reservoir’s functions.
HTG and Lin had also assisted the county government with the maintenance of the reservoir and the expansions made to the water filtration plant and waterworks, securing for Matzu Island residents more freshwater resources.
Combined use of drones and ships to assist Taipei, Miaoli and Taoyuan areas conduct water quality contamination tests in headwaters and ensuring the safety of water for public use
Since then, Lin’s experiences in handling water resources have only grown. Under his leadership, HTG has categorized and conducted research of micro-lifeforms in water.
Seizing the advantages of advanced technology, HTG ha actively developed more methods to monitor water resource. In Taoyuan, HTG has enlisted the resources and manpower of local communities near Dahan River and used the company’s self-developed drones, along with ships and GPS-tracking systems, to sample and monitor Dahan River.
The results of such monitoring have allowed local residents, as well as visiting tourists, to clearly understand environmental issues that are facing the communities as well as achieving the goal for sustainable development of environmental education in the community.
HTG has adopted the same system for the Feitsui Reservoir in the Taipei area, the Sifen River located in Taipei’s Nangang District and the Baoshan Reservoir in Miaoli, with minute changes based on the unique characteristics of each area.
The use of drones and boats to monitor and take samples of river water has allowed HTG to assess the water quality for different sections of the rivers and isolate pollutant sources. HTG was able to make suggestions for how to improve the water quality and enhance reservoir efficiency, with such knowledge and data.
Partnering with Japanese water-filtration company manufacturing ceramic flat-sheet membrane bioreactors (MBR) to achieve zero-output for wastewater in Taoyuan’s headwaters
With an established foundation in water quality assessment, HTG had moved forward with a partnership proposal with a Japanese manufacturer of ceramic flat-sheet MBRs. Utilization of the ceramic flat-sheet MBRs along with HTG’s own water-quality assessment systems, as well as long years of professional experience, in the 100 percent water resource recycle and reuse project had allowed Taoyuan’s local factories to achieve zero effluvia output and protect the drainage basin area of Taoyuan.
Forward into India – Ameliorating and assessing water quality of the Ganges
With a population of 1.36 billion, India is the second-largest in Asia and the largest in South Asia, in terms of population size.
On average, India sees 1.8 million deaths due to stomach issues and parasitosis, both brought on by the consumption of polluted water. The urbanization of Indian cities has directly contributed to an increased demand for water resources, forcing the Indian government to focus on developing and providing sources of water, effluent processing plants and enacting zero-output for wastewater projects.
In 2017, HTG was invited by the Indian government and the Asian Productivity Organization to establish a localized demonstration for zero effluvia output projects at a common effluent treatment plant (CETP) in the industrial city of Chennai.
The demonstration confirmed the effectiveness of ceramic flat-sheet MBRs in water-filtration while demonstrating that it was heat-resistant, provided excellent filtering capability for lipids, would not clog easily and was easily cleaned.
This made ceramic flat-sheet MBRs a go-to as it would filter the lipids and fat in the Ganges, as well as other large-sized impurities, thus augmenting water filtration plant effects and allowing better water quality for residents near the filtration plant.
