苏伊士与全球化工品牌前25强企业万华化学集团在2017年至2022年已在四个重要的水处理和污水处理项目上携手合作。此次山东烟台蓬莱海水淡化项目，苏伊士将为其设计并建造一座日淡水产量为10万吨的高工业标准反渗透海水脱盐工厂。该项目将在各方长期的合作伙伴关系的基础上，结合世界500强企业中铁股份全资子公司中铁上海工程局强大的建设能力，在节约稀缺的淡水资源的同时，提升当地水生态系统韧性，助力万华及其工业合作伙伴实现生态转型。
苏伊士在海水淡化领域已拥有50年的丰富经验，于澳大利亚建造了全球最大的反渗透海水淡化厂之一 —— 维多利亚海水淡化厂项目，而后继续加快其在南半球领先的业务布局。此前，苏伊士于2006年在珀斯开发的海水淡化项目每年为超过 200 万人提供超过 450 亿升洁净的饮用水。在中国，山东烟台蓬莱项目成为苏伊士在全球最大的工业领域海水淡化项目，同时也是其在中国的首个海水淡化项目。这标志着苏伊士在中国海水淡化市场的一次突破，也是其在中国发展迈出的新步伐。
此次合作不仅扩大了苏伊士与万华、中铁的合作范围，同时彰显了三方在打造绿色产业生态体系和可持续发展方面的承诺，致力于共同推动中国的生态转型。这也是苏伊士和中国合作伙伴携手协助中法两国实现共同愿景的又一次重要体现。

SUEZ Joins French President’s Business Delegation to China:
Launches New Contract with Local Partners to support China’s Ecological Transition
SUEZ was part of the French business delegation that accompanied President Emmanuel Macron on his state visit to China, from 5 to 7 April. This visit will further strengthen ties between France and China, creating more opportunities for collaboration between the two countries. During this visit, witnessed by Ministers of both countries, SUEZ and its Chinese partners, Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua) and China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group (CRSH), signed a cooperation agreement for a seawater desalination project that will further expand their cooperation in the environmental sector, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
“We’re greatly encouraged by President Macron’s visit to China, which is an excellent opportunity to strengthen environmental cooperation between France and China. As one of the first multinational environmental firms to enter the Chinese market 50 years ago, SUEZ has a long history and deep roots in China. We’ve proudly become a preferred partner for customers and industries here and have forged strong, long-term partnerships with municipal and industrial clients in more than 30 major cities and regions across the country. Together, we’ve contributed to the development of China’s infrastructure and environment services industry.”
“Today, in the presence of esteemed Ministers from both countries, SUEZ has officially signed a new and significant contract with our valued Chinese partners. SUEZ has been providing essential services to protect and enhance the well-being of people in all the regions we serve for over 160 years. I am thrilled to collaborate with Wanhua and CRSH on our Shandong project and to turn it into a new standard of excellence in Sino-French environmental cooperation. Our joint efforts are sure to boost bilateral cooperation in ecological transformation and advance China's high-quality development.” said Sabrina Soussan, Chairman and CEO of SUEZ.
LIAO Zengtai, Chairman of Wanhua Chemical Group, said,
“I am very encouraged by the remarkable success of our cooperation with SUEZ to date. SUEZ is a great company whose expertise and excellent services have contributed to the success and development of many Wanhua projects. I expect this desalination project to become another benchmark and ‘lighthouse’ project.”
WANG Jianying, Chairman of China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group, said,
“Today we are proud to see our tripartite cooperation deepen. Like Wanhua, we look forward to continuing our sincere, close, extensive and long-term partnership with SUEZ to achieve more outstanding results in areas such as infrastructure and environmental protection. We are confident that our cooperation will deliver greater benefits to society!”
SUEZ and Wanhua, which is a global top 25 chemical company, worked together on four major water and wastewater treatment projects from 2017 to 2022. For the new desalination project in Penglai District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, SUEZ will design and build, for Wanhua, a 100 MLD seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant with the highest industrial standards. The project builds on the partners’ proven track record of success and leverages the strong engineering construction capabilities of CRSH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Railway Company Limited. China Railway is a Fortune 500 company. While saving scarce freshwater resources, the project will increase the resilience of the local water ecosystem and enable Wanhua and its industrial partners to achieve ecological transformation.
SUEZ has 50 years of know-how in seawater desalination, having built one of the world’s largest SWRO desalination plant in Australia (Victorian Desalination Plant). It subsequently accelerated the pace of expansion and cemented its position as the category leader in the Southern Hemisphere, after the development in 2006 of the desalination plant in Perth providing more than 45 billion liters of clean drinking water to over two million people per year. In China, the Penglai project in Yantai, Shandong Province, is SUEZ’s largest seawater desalination project in the industrial sector worldwide and its first such project in China. This marks a breakthrough for SUEZ in the Chinese desalination market and a new step in its development strategy for China.
The new project broadens SUEZ’s scope of cooperation with Wanhua and CRSH and furthers the ambition of the three partners to build a green industrial ecosystem towards sustainable development. It also speaks to the parties’ commitment to working together to drive China’s ecological transformation and to contribute to the shared vision of France and China.

Witnessed by Ministers of both countries, SUEZ and its Chinese partners, Wanhua Chemical Group and China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group, signed a cooperation agreement for a seawater desalination project.
