Under the association’s leadership, they pledged to vigorously advance the work of their respective branches and to make meaningful contributions to the development of China’s membrane industry.

During the event, the association also presented certificates to enterprises recognized as “Leaders” under the 2024 membrane industry enterprise standards, as well as to those that contributed to the drafting of the national standard, “Guidelines for Membrane-Based Integrated Treatment Technologies for High-Salinity Wastewater Resource Recovery.”

Finally, Zheng Genjiang, Chairman of the Association, delivered a closing summary. He noted that in 2025, the Association’s Secretariat undertook extensive work. The convening of this Board of Directors meeting not only strengthened internal cohesion and unity but also charted a clear course for the future development of the membrane industry.
