Suzhou Proshare Brought TFN Membrane Tech To The 15th Five-Year Plan Steel Conference in Nanjing.

Leading·New Quality Productivity

From May 13 to 15, 2026, the Second "15th Five-Year Plan" Steel Equipment Cooperation and Development Exchange Conference was held in Nanjing. Centered on the theme "Low-Carbon Foundation·Digital Empowerment·Innovation Drive·Equipment Renewal," the conference brought together over a thousand industry elites to explore pathways for green and intelligent transformation in the steel industry.

As a technology-leading enterprise in the field of high-end membrane materials, Proshare Innovation Suzhou Co., Ltd. (Suzhou Proshare) was invited to attend and showcased its third-generation TFN nanocomposite thin-film membrane technology solutions for the metallurgical industry at the core exhibition area.

 

01 Addressing Steel Pollution Challenges in Line with the 15th Five-Year Plan

The steel industry is currently at a critical stage of "stable growth" and "ultra-low emissions." The Work Plan for Stable Growth of the Steel Industry explicitly calls for accelerating equipment upgrades and energy efficiency improvements. Meanwhile, wastewater resource recovery, zero liquid discharge (ZLD), and energy saving with carbon reduction have become essential needs for the survival and development of enterprises.

Given the challenges of metallurgical industrial wastewater-complex composition, high salinity, and difficult treatment-Suzhou Proshare highlighted its internationally advanced reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane products at the conference. With outstanding features such as "high flux, fouling resistance, and high pressure tolerance," these products have been successfully applied in demanding scenarios including coking wastewater advanced treatment and zero liquid discharge of desulfurization wastewater.

 

Technical Highlights

Stable and wash-resistant: Membrane chemistry design ensures long-term operational reliability.

Fouling-resistant and durable: TFN surface offers excellent anti-fouling performance and extended service life.

High flux, low energy consumption: TFN membrane flux is increased by over 30% compared to conventional TFC membranes, with lower energy consumption.

 

 

On-Site Report: Technical Exchange & Supply-Demand Matchmaking

The Suzhou Proshare booth attracted a steady stream of visitors, drawing many heads of equipment and energy/environmental departments from steel enterprises for in-depth discussions.

A representative of Suzhou Proshare said at the event: "Water is a key link in the green transformation of the steel industry. Proshare not only provides membrane elements but is also committed to delivering customized solutions focused on 'reduction and resource recovery.' Our TFN membranes have already been validated in high-end fields such as lithium extraction from salt lakes and semiconductor ultrapure water. In the metallurgical sector, we are equally confident in using membrane technology to help enterprises achieve wastewater reuse and salt resource recovery-turning pollution control into profit generation and supporting the construction of zero-carbon factories."

Connecting the Future: Creating a "New Blue Ocean" for the Steel Industry

With the deepening implementation of the "dual carbon" strategy, membrane technology-serving as the "throat" of water resource recycling-will play an irreplaceable role in achieving极致 energy efficiency and reducing both pollution and carbon emissions in the steel industry.

Looking ahead, Suzhou Proshare will continue to uphold its craftsman spirit of "spending ten years sharpening a sword." Leveraging its smart production bases in Suzhou and Yancheng, the company will keep increasing R&D investment, striving to contribute "Proshare's power" to equipment renewal and green, high-quality development of steel enterprises through better membrane products and more targeted services.
