Since late September, master students and teaching teams of professors and Ph.D. students in Germany and China began working directly with the water treatment and product solution experts at GF Piping Systems to research and develop new approaches for waste water treatment applications specifically in China to increase efficiency and sustainability even further.
The project – funded by the company – will run over ten months and focus on waste water treatment applications for chemical processing, microelectronics and industrial production. It will use the Design Thinking approach, a core methodology for both organizations, in exploring current and anticipated customer needs with innovative solutions.
The efficient, safe, and sustainable treatment of industrial waste water on a large scale is a main concern for China, home of the world’s largest population and the world’s second-largest economy. GF Piping System has been active in China since 1997.
"This initiative allows us to rethink current water treatment solutions together with customers in China to address their future requirements while including the fresh perspective of master students in this field", says Design Thinking expert André Costa who leads the project on the side of GF Piping Systems. "It is part of our innovation strategy of linking the innovation process to identified customer needs."
