Thirty years of sewage treatment industry: Tuyere never sleeps

Soon, the BOT model became well known in the field of sewage treatment. People who were unfamiliar with the term at the beginning of 2003 knew it well by the end of the year. It will dominate the sewage treatment market in the next decade, sweeping across the country and captivating governments at all levels.

This is also the golden decade of the sewage treatment industry, the number of sewage treatment plants in the country has increased rapidly, the sewage treatment rate has climbed, and China has built a sewage treatment plant in developed countries for 100 years in ten years. By the end of 2013, more than 3,500 sewage treatment plants above the county level (including county level) had been built and put into operation, with a total daily treatment capacity of 149 million cubic meters, which is basically equivalent to that of the United States.

This decade has brought prosperity to investment operations, engineering technology, environmental protection equipment companies, and even pharmaceutical manufacturers. The constant is always strong, and the weak are also seizing the opportunity to become strong. The script of the sewage treatment industry has been written, and the actors are coming in.

During this period, the industry also gave birth to some special institutions. It seems to be a coincidence that in 2000, China's water network was born. But think about it carefully, and it seems destined: in 1999, the tide of the Internet hit every industry, and in 2000, a professional website was born in the field of water in the bud of industrialization, isn't it natural?

In another coincidence or fate - still more like the latter - in 2003, the "first year of marketization," the new China Water Network launched an annual ranking that ranked the major players in the water market in 2003, so that today we can know which companies were dominating the water market that year.

First place went to Beijing Capital. This company has dominated the list of the top ten influential enterprises in the water industry since 2003, and it has been 16 times so far. The list of 2019 has not yet been announced, and if there is no accident, there will be it. It was the most powerful in the water market, but in fact, it was mainly in the water supply field there was a series of large-scale investment mergers and acquisitions.

The second is Shenzhen Water (Group) Co., LTD., in addition to the famous equity transfer incident related to the first place, in 2003, in terms of sewage, it did win the bidding for Shenzhen Longgang Banxuegang sewage treatment plant, Guangzhou Panyu District forward sewage treatment plant and Nanjing Jiangbei sewage treatment plant operation and management projects.

Third place goes to Veolia Water Group. This year, it just changed its name. The number one on the joint list bought a 45% stake in the number two, causing a national sensation.

Fourth place goes to Thames Water Group. This company looks very strange, when through its subordinate Hong Kong Huijin Water and their own personally, in the Chinese market is also turned up waves. Huijin Water broke down the Changchun sewage project at that time, and then gradually disappeared.

The fifth is Beijing Urban Drainage Group. This is a state-owned large-scale infrastructure construction and management enterprise in Beijing, which is basically responsible for the construction work related to sewage treatment in Beijing, and it is also renowned for its excellent sewage treatment plant operation and management experience in the industry. In 2003, it set up a joint venture with Beijing Capital Water Co., LTD., and was responsible for the specific operation of the company. Also to Guangzhou, Jiangsu to develop sewage and tap water business.

The sixth is Suez Lyon Water, which is the parent company of Sino-French water, and Veolia Water, is also one of the world's top 500, and is the first of the three water giants to enter China. However, like Capital and Veolia, it was mainly more interested in tap water at that time. After all, sewage treatment was still in its infancy.

No. 7 was Golden State Holdings, better known as Golden State Environmental. In November 2003, he and several other companies jointly won the bid for the Beijing Olympic Water Park project, and in the same month, won the bid for the equipment design, procurement, transportation, installation, commissioning and technical services of Beijing Xiaohongmen sewage Treatment plant. At the end of the year, it also took over the Beijing water Tenth Plant project, which has attracted much attention in the industry.

The eighth is China Environmental Protection Water Investment Company. This company is a famous door, established by Shanghai Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. and China Energy Conservation Investment Company joint venture, and the capital shares, standing water industry top ten influential list for more than ten years, in the market is also tap water and sewage around the opening. But the overall impact on the industry is weaker than the first.

The ninth is Anhui Guozhen Environmental Protection and Energy Saving Technology Co., LTD., which is the representative of private environmental protection enterprises like Jinzhou. It mainly works in the sewage treatment market. In 2003, the project under construction included Hefei Zhuzhujing sewage Treatment Plant BOT project (construction started in 2001); In December, Guozhen Environmental Protection won the bid to construct the BOT project of Guangdong Xinhui East Suburb sewage treatment plant officially put into operation, and won the bid of Jiangsu Xuzhou sewage treatment plant project (30 years term) with the TOT model.
