DSD won the China Award for Science and Technology in Construction 2023 (First Prize)

We are delighted that DSD, together with Sun Yat-sen University, the Kong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and other esteemed partners, has been honored with the First Prize in the China Award for Science and Technology in Construction 2023, presented by The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China. DSD has collaborated with Professor Feng Jiang from Sun Yat-sen University to develop technologies for predicting and controlling sulfide generation in sewerage systems. These cutting-edge technologies have been successfully implemented in Hong Kong, including their application in the deep sewage tunnels of Harbour Area Treatment Scheme, effectively identifying the sources and factors contributing to hydrogen sulfide generation. This prestigious recognition reflects the innovative efforts of our collaboration. We remain committed to our continuous endeavors in providing the public with superior-quality sewage treatment services.
