Green design, also known as eco-design or environmental awareness design, refers to designing products in accordance with the lifecycle concept. During the product development phase, it systematically considers the impact of raw material selection, production, sales, use, recycling and disposal on resources and the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of the product. The goal is to minimize resource consumption during the lifecycle of the product and reduce or avoid the use of materials containing toxic substances as much as possible, thereby reducing pollutant generation and emissions, thus achieving environmental protection activities. Promoting the production and manufacturing of green design products can drive green consumption and economic development. Establishing evaluation standards and norms for green design products in various industries is the foundation for creating such products; a complete standard system ensures smooth implementation of green design products.
Integrated modular wastewater treatment equipment combines processes such as biological filters, denitrification filters based on raw water quality and effluent requirements. It solves the disadvantages of traditional municipal wastewater treatment plants, including large land use, high investment, long construction periods, and difficulty in maintenance. Integrated modular wastewater treatment systems are characterized by small footprint, short construction period, high treatment efficiency and automation levels, automatic adjustment of operating parameters based on changes in raw water quality, economic energy savings, and ease of maintenance. With the growing awareness of energy conservation and emissions reduction throughout society, integrated modular wastewater treatment equipment is evolving towards a more efficient and energy-saving direction.
This document ensures that the functional structure, sealing integrity, and effluent quality of integrated modular wastewater treatment equipment meet product requirements by proposing requirements for environmental compliance during its entire lifecycle. These include minimal harm or low impact on the environment and ecosystem, reduced resource and energy consumption, and high safety standards throughout the lifecycle. By reducing the resource and energy inputs and negative environmental impacts during the lifecycle, it promotes the development of eco-friendly, economically viable, and sustainable green design products.
Establishing technical specifications for evaluating green design products in integrated modular wastewater treatment equipment can provide technical guidance for their production and offer a basis for evaluating such products in the industry. This will promote green development in the manufacturing industry of integrated modular wastewater treatment equipment and drive the entire supply chain towards green transformation.
