In July 2025, the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Technology Symposium, hosted by Industrial Environmental Protection Network, was successfully held, focusing on key industry issues such as high-salinity wastewater treatment, resource recycling, and zero discharge. The event brought together industry experts and corporate representatives to explore pathways for green transformation. Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was invited to attend, showcasing its innovative applications of electrodialysis technology and providing efficient solutions for industrial environmental protection and resource recycling through its core membrane technology.
At the conference, the company highlighted its electrodialysis process based on homogeneous ion-exchange membranes: by leveraging the selective directional migration of cation and anion exchange membranes, combined with a 20‑stack integrated design, it achieves a desalination rate of ≥95% for industrial wastewater while simultaneously recovering high-purity salt resources, truly turning waste into valuable resources. This technology boasts outstanding advantages such as low energy consumption, stable operation, and no secondary pollution, making it widely applicable to high-salinity wastewater treatment in industries including chemicals, power, new energy, and metallurgy, effectively helping enterprises achieve their zero-discharge goals.
As a high-tech enterprise and a specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative SME in Shanghai, dedicated to the R&D, production, and service of homogeneous ion-exchange membranes and membrane separation equipment, Shanghai Smax New Materials adheres to independent innovation, possessing complete intellectual property rights and stable production capacity. Its core membrane products have reached domestically leading and internationally advanced performance levels. The technical demonstration at this conference further underscored the company’s core competitiveness in the fields of environmentally friendly new materials, industrial wastewater resource recovery, and circular utilization.
In the future, Shanghai Smax New Materials will continue to deepen its research and development of membrane technologies and their engineering applications, constantly optimizing core equipment and processes such as electrodialysis, diffusion dialysis, and bipolar membranes, to provide industrial enterprises with safer, more efficient, and lower-carbon comprehensive water treatment solutions. Through technological innovation, the company aims to support the realization of the “dual carbon” goals and promote the high-quality development of the industrial environmental protection and resource circulation sectors.
