On February 26, 2018, Beijing Daily reported on our hospital in the birth of 10 "Qing" prefix companies.

 

The original report is as follows:

 

Beijing, Wudaokou. The car drove out of Tsinghua University, along the Fourth Ring Road to the south, via the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, and then to the south, it is feasible to go to Huaming High-tech Zone, Dongli District, Tianjin.

 

The two places, more than 140 kilometers apart, have a close intersection of innovation due to the birth of a research institution. In July 2014, less than half a year after the introduction of the national strategy for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Dongli District Government of Tianjin signed a cooperation agreement with Tsinghua University, and the Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University came into being. The positioning of the high-end institute is to rely on the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Tsinghua University, with high-end equipment design, manufacturing and technical services as the entry point, and develop into a comprehensive technology transformation and industrial incubation platform. The first phase of the scientific research and industrialization base is located in Dongli District. Huaming High-tech Zone.

Tsinghua enterprises settled in Tianjin

 

In the past three and a half years, how has the development effect of the high-end institute been? Open the official website, Qingke Environmental Protection, Qingyan Huayu, Qingyan ZhiShu... A series of companies with the word "Qing" first appeared, which originated from the research and development achievements of Tsinghua teachers and students, and the high-end institute has hatched 10 companies.

 

Among them, Qingke Environmental Protection is the earliest industrialized company established. This is a scientific research achievement transformation company based on the research and development of self-assembled nano-coating technology developed by Wang Jiadao, a professor in Tsinghua Department of Mechanical Engineering.

 

After 6 years of doctoral studies, as a student of Wang Jiadao, Du Chuan is also deeply involved in the research of this technology, and his doctoral thesis is also on this topic. The strength of this technology is that it can improve the surface performance and service life of the filter material, and then it can be used to filter industrial flue gas particles. At that time, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was plagued by smog. According to data released in 2014, industrial production accounted for 18.1 per cent of local PM2.5 emissions in Beijing. Defending the blue sky and reducing industrial pollution, nano-coating technology has great potential.

 

"Our good results cannot be shelved in the laboratory. We must play a greater role through industrialization." Under the influence of Professor Wang Jiadao, the students consciously transform their scientific research achievements into their mission. In the summer of 2015, Du Chuan gave up a high-paying position in a central enterprise in Beijing and entered a high-end hospital, becoming the first batch of water testeers. In July of that year, the micro nano technology research institute of surface interface was established in the high-end institute, and Tianjin Qingke environmental protection technology co., ltd. also settled in Binhai new area. du chuan, who graduated with a doctor's degree, had two new identities, the deputy director of the research institute and the CEO of the company.

 

Tianjin, which is positioned as a national advanced manufacturing R & D base, opens its doors to welcome such technology-driven enterprises. The local Wang Jiadao, Du Chuan team to provide talent apartments, research and development funds, production sites and other aspects of strong support.

 

Like most start-ups, Qingke Environmental Protection has also faced the test of market trust. Industrial application orders are relatively large, and companies can't easily believe their technology, because once the effect is not ideal, the loss will be quite serious.

 

The first large order came from a chemical fertilizer enterprise in Hebei Province to provide flue gas filtration solutions for two 75-ton coal-fired boilers. Since 2015, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have raised industrial pollutant emission standards. The particulate matter emission level of this enterprise is required to reach 30 mg/m3. They boldly used the technology of Qingke environmental protection company, and the result was reduced to 10 mg/m3. The market of Qingke Environmental Protection has opened up. Since then, they have successively renovated gas-fired boilers in Haidian District of Beijing and Nangang Industrial Zone of Tianjin, effectively reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and providing technical support for air purification.

 

New Model of Transformation of Scientific Research Achievements

 

In 2017, the world's first (set) steel wire drawing waste lubricant regeneration treatment device invented by Qingke Environmental Protection was put into use in a tire radial enterprise in Shandong Province, realizing the dual effect of "regeneration + treatment" of waste lubricant and greatly reducing the degree of waste water pollution. After adopting this new technology, the company can save more than 50% of its annual lubricant consumption, saving more than 1500 million yuan at once.

 

This technology is currently applying for an international invention patent. "In 2018, we will go abroad and enter the South Korea and European markets." When it comes to New Year's resolutions, Du Chuan is full of ambition.

 

Last year, Qingke's new environmental protection product formaldehyde purification cloth was also officially launched. This magical "cloth" can not only absorb formaldehyde caused by decoration pollution, but also completely decompose it into carbon dioxide and water to avoid secondary pollution. The product has sold 20000 boxes in less than half a year and has entered 5000 families.

 

Since starting his business, Du Chuan has lived a two-city life and can only return to Beijing to reunite with his wife on weekends. The one who accompanied him for the longest time was the new car he bought in 2015. He has run 130000 kilometers so far, with an average of hundreds of kilometers per day. He explained with a smile, "mainly talking about business". As a joint innovation and incubation company in Beijing and Tianjin, Qingke environmental protection products and technologies mainly serve the steel, chemical, tire, petrochemical and other industries in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas. At present, Qingke Environmental Protection has achieved break-even and received 30 million yuan of venture capital. In 2016, the sales revenue was 6 million yuan. Last year, it more than doubled to 15 million yuan. The actual contract amount signed exceeded 40 million yuan.

 

The cooperation between the two places has explored a new mode of industry-university-research transformation of scientific research achievements in colleges and universities: the tutor leads an academic team of more than a dozen people to study basic theories in the school, of which the part applicable to industrialization is put into the research institute of the high-end institute for industrialization research and development and market development, while the company is committed to production, sales and docking the market. The technical problems encountered by the company in the service market can be turned to the R & D team of the research institute and the school, and the technical competitiveness is very strong.

 

Beijing Technology Continuously Loses to Tianjin and Hebei

 

So far, the high-end institute has established 31 research institutes, 6 research laboratories, and 6 joint research centers. The total amount of scientific research contracts signed in 2017 has reached 100 million yuan, and cooperative enterprises cover hundreds of companies.

 

Relying on the high-end institute, more scientific research achievements in Tsinghua University are "blooming" in Tianjin ". Like Du Chuan, Lin Feng, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University, has two other identities: the director of the Institute of Additive Manufacturing Technology and Engineering of the High-end Institute and the chief scientist of Tianjin Qingyan Zhiliang Technology Co., Ltd.

 

The research and development work of Lin Feng team has been at the forefront of the field of additive manufacturing. The team has developed a number of additive manufacturing technologies and equipment, such as electron beam selective melting, low temperature deposition manufacturing and three-dimensional cell controlled assembly. As early as 2004, they developed China's first electron beam selective melting experimental system BSM-150, and obtained the first domestic electron beam selective melting metal 3D printing technology patent. Qingyan Zhibeam Company is a technology industrialization company established by relying on these scientific research strengths. The core technology and team of the company come from Tsinghua.

 

Just last month, the first domestic powder bed electron beam metal 3D printer developed by Qingyan Zhibeam Company was officially released in the high-end institute. As soon as the equipment was launched, it received a total of more than 1200 million yuan of orders. The cooperation units include both Tianjin local units such as Tianjin Vocational University and overseas well-known enterprises, which have successfully exported domestic high-end metal 3D printers. The company also plans to set up a 3D printing service center in Tianjin to promote the development of the industry.

 

According to statistics from the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, in 2017, the turnover of Beijing's export of Tianjin-Hebei technology contracts increased by 31.5 year-on-year. In the new year, there are many new actions to promote collaborative innovation in the three places. Beijing will promote the establishment of a cohesive innovation voucher policy in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and pilot the construction of joint laboratories in the fields of automobiles and biomedicine to promote the sharing of resources among the three places.
