"I Am a Proud Member of Chambroad":
Visionary Insights, Dynamic Impact - Su Shigang, Chambroad Chairman's Special Honoree
Braving winds and waves in 2020
Progressing by leaps and bounds in 2021
Gathering new momentum 2022
As Chambroad heralds its continued progress, there exists a group of remarkable defenders of health and the environment. While they confront contamination, they bring clarity and purity. Their dedication may go unnoticed, but their fervor and commitment shine brightly. For a long time, they have tirelessly contributed to the nation's environmental protection, growing in their beliefs and dedication and expanding territories for the greater good. Su Shigang, the recipient of the Chairman's Special Award 2022, is one of the inspirers. Perhaps "working silently with explosive results" best describes Su's journey with Chambroad.
Su Shigang is a senior environmental engineer. He obtained his doctorate from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2019. He is currently affiliated with the Institute of Refined Materials and Biological Research at the Chambroad Research Academy. Since joining Chambroad in January 2021, his primary focus has been water treatment and resource utilization.
Problem-driven and Future-oriented
Su Shigang's journey is a testament to persistence and hard work，both of which are qualities of great researchers. During his Ph.D. studies, he was already diving deep into university-enterprise collaborative projects. Even in challenging climates abroad, he amassed invaluable work experience. These early endeavors laid a strong foundation for his subsequent project research and development. Post-graduation, Su, fueled with ambition, joined the Chambroad Research Academy and took the reins of spearheading the research projects.
True success often emerges from navigating through thorny paths and enduring tough terrains. Projects face myriad challenges, from inception to implementation, and only those in the trenches can truly grasp the intricacies. Su guided his team across locations like Zhanhua, Zibo, Cangzhou, Jinan, and Shijiazhuang, spearheading on-site operations, materials production, and equipment evaluations. Reflecting on the past, team members recall relentless travel and inspections, with brief pauses being a rare luxury.
The concurrent demands of ensuring project progress while meeting real-time pandemic prevention standards were daunting. Yet, Su and his team persevered. The persistent on-site presence and their meticulously organized supplies in transit encapsulated the spirit of teamwork and unwavering dedication.
When introducing the technology at Xintianhong, Su's team faced a significant hurdle. Adopting an established biological filler technology would demand more than a year for site transformation, accompanied by substantial investments. Determined to find a solution, Su's team worked tirelessly, day and night. They broke new ground by developing a pioneering process not previously implemented in China. With this innovative approach, current projects are speeding ahead to ensure compliance with water quality standards, aiming to reduce operating costs by over 60%.
Solidarity is the Formula
Navigating through evolving times, Su and his team have worked assiduously and pioneered an innovative low-carbon sewage treatment. Piloted successfully in Qingyuan Environmental Protection, Xintianhong, and Shijiazhuang High-tech Zone, their efforts have provided China with a groundbreaking solution for sewage purification and regeneration. While the Shandong TV reports offer a glimpse of their achievements, the full scope of Su's team's tumultuous and passionate journey remains largely untold. Their endeavor and devotion represents "the driving force of dreams, conscientiousness and diligence".
Even during his academic years, Su harbored dreams of making a difference in the global community：protecting the shared community for mankind, trying his best to reach the summit, and doing research to benefit human beings. His relentless pursuit of excellence, coupled with the backing of his platform and unwavering support from colleagues, allowed him to devise techniques to treat sewage with a low carbon and nitrogen ratio soon after graduation. More than a mere scientific achievement, this was the realization of his youthful ambition.
The project's triumphant realization can be attributed to the visionary leadership and the unwavering commitment of every team member. Su's squad is a testament to resilience and perseverance. Every member, seasoned by challenges, has made distinctive contributions, collaboratively forging a legacy of success. Their dedication has been recognized with accolades from Haijingtian, Xintianhong, and others, including the Chambroad Research Academy's 2021 Breakthrough Award. Earning the title of the 2022 Outstanding Innovative Breakthrough Team has further bolstered their spirits. With steadfast belief and dedication, they march into 2023, poised for more accomplishments!
Delve deep into one's strengths, ally with the insightful, harness a plethora of resources, and set sail on Chambroad's expansive platform—this has been Su Shigang's approach. Leveraging his networks, Su has fostered collaborative ties with premier institutions like Tianjin University, the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Qingdao University of Science and Technology. With unwavering passion, Su is on a relentless quest, bridging personal aspirations with broader societal benefits.
