Chapter 253 The recycling rate is 97%
November 17.
There are three days left before the results of the academician's election will be announced, and Jiang Miao and Lin Shuya are rarely quiet for a day.
The two of them visited the Beijing Museum, Badaling Great Wall, Summer Palace and other attractions.
In the evening, we came to the Hailufeng Storage Center in the western suburbs of the capital, which is also a storage supermarket, for a secret investigation.
This storage center covers a very large area, reaching 94 acres, and the storage supermarket is a 5-story building that was put into use two months ago. This supermarket covers an area of 10,000 square meters.
With Shuya's hand in hand, the couple was walking on the first floor of the storage supermarket.
The first floor is the fresh food area, including vegetables, fruits, non-staple foods, meat, eggs, milk, and seafood.
Because it is a storage supermarket, the products on the shelves are packed in large portions, or just boxes without unpacking.
Jiang Miao did not join in the crowded product area, but stood not far away and watched.
"Durians are still as popular as ever." Shuya looked at the durian sales area not far away, and many customers were moving durian boxes one by one.
"It should be that the durian farm in Qiongzhou has started to pick it. The durian in Shanmei has to wait for another month."
Li Zixuan, who was standing beside him, whispered: "Boss, the Logistics Department has purchased ten shipping container ships specifically to travel to the domestic coastal areas. These durians should have traveled north through shipping container ships."
Hearing this report, Jiang Miao remembered something: "I read the internal documents a few days ago. The logistics department used a batch of experimental containers?"
Li Zixuan, who was breathing, replied: "Yes, boss, I just looked at the parking lot of this storage center. There are indeed several containers that are new."
"Go over and take a look."
Walk out from the side door of the storage supermarket.
I saw several large container trucks in the parking lot. After Li Zixuan revealed his identity, Li Keming, the team leader of the logistics business department stationed in the warehousing center, trotted to everyone.
"Huhuhu...Boss, boss, welcome you."
Jiang Miao glanced at him: "Ciming? Didn't you be at the Magic City Branch before?"
The flattered Li Keming had a hint of joy on his face: "Boss, I was in the Magic City Branch before, but some time ago, the company adjusted its management and conducted regional inter-regulation, so I came to the Beijing Branch from the Magic City Branch."
"So that's the case. Are you still used to it here?"
Li Keming shook his head: "There is nothing unaccustomed to it. The company also has dormitories in Beijing. We all move in with our bags."
"That's good." Jiang Miao swept the Bai Wu who was scanning the sunglasses: "I heard that the logistics department recently invested a batch of new containers. Are there any samples here?"
Li Keming pointed to a container truck more than ten meters away: "Yes, boss, look, the upper half of the container is a black container, which is the new container."
"This is a 20-foot container, which is commonly known as a small cabinet. At present, the container factory under our logistics department mainly produces two types of containers, namely 20-foot and 40-foot." "Is the black part a silicon carbide photovoltaic panel?" Li Keming nodded and replied: "Yes, this is a test product taken out by Minqin Group half a month ago. Silicon carbide photovoltaic panels are laid on the upper half of the container. If it is sunny, it is almost okay every day. Generate about 30 degrees of electricity. "
"If a large truck with refrigerated containers wants to maintain a refrigeration mode, it will consume 2 to 2.5 degrees per hour, and 48 to 60 degrees a day. The photovoltaic panel can meet about half of the electricity consumption."
"In addition, there is also a built-in sponge battery inside the container, which can store 400 degrees of electricity. If it is sunny, it can basically guarantee 12 to 15 days of electricity consumption."
Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows: "Will it affect the container capacity and payload?"
"No, the container factory has used new materials to replace steel plates, aluminum alloys and glass fibers. Currently, the common 20-foot refrigerated containers on the market have a weight of about 3 tons. The 20-foot refrigerated container produced by our company has a weight of about 2.5 tons, and a half-ton effective value has been added."
Li Keming added: "If it is a 20-foot container that does not contain refrigeration, the box body weight will be only about 0.5 tons, and the payload has increased by 2.5 tons."
Don't underestimate the 2.5 tons payload.
You should know that the total weight of a container is strictly stipulated. The maximum limit weight of a 20-foot container is 30 tons, and the maximum limit weight of a 40-foot and 45-foot container is 32 tons.
This is because during container transportation, transportation vehicles and hoisting equipment have a load-bearing limit.
Otherwise, an ordinary 20-foot container with an internal volume of 33 cubic meters, even if it is loaded with water, it will exceed the maximum load, not to mention that if it is stuffed with metal, glass, or rock products, the weight will seriously exceed the standard.
In other words, the new container manufactured by Hailufeng Company has a maximum payload of 29.5 tons for 20-foot containers. If it is a 20-refrigerated container, the maximum payload is 27.5 tons.
Adding a payload of 2.5 tons, it is a significant benefit for many goods with relatively large weight and smaller volumes. After all, it is naturally a good thing to increase the payload without increasing the overall weight of the container.
"How much does the container factory give you the logistics department?"
"The 20-foot ordinary container is 14,000 yuan per 20-foot refrigerated container is 32,000 yuan per 20-foot refrigerated container is basically the same as the market price."
For this price, the container factory of Hailufeng Company is definitely profitable.
For example, the box weight of ordinary 20-foot container is 527 kilograms, of which 184 kilograms of high-strength silicon bean silk are used. The factory price of Minqin Group is 30 yuan per kilogram of silicon bean silk. The total cost of silicon bean silk is 5,520 yuan. With more than 200 kilograms of thermal insulation and flame retardant foam inner core, and related processing costs, the cost of this container is about 8,000 yuan.
You can earn 6,000 yuan in one box.
The reason for calculating profits is mainly because brothers settle accounts clearly. Although they are all industries under Hailufeng Company, considering the future account management issues, each subsidiary directly calculates the supply price according to the market price, rather than directly using the cost price as the internal supply price.
"How is your trial?"
Li Keming recalled some feedback from some drivers: "The usage is similar to that of ordinary containers, that is, the new refrigerated container needs to be cleaned frequently in the upper half of the photovoltaic panels. If it is not cleaned in time, the dust will affect the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels."
"Over the warehouse center is the company's battery swap station and the comprehensive automobile service station. At present, cleaning is relatively simple, but the water cost of automobile cleaning in Beijing is too high, and each party costs 160 yuan."
Li Zixuan whispered in Jiang Miao's ear: "Boss, the water use systems of several northern branches such as Beijing have been undergoing renovation and upgrading recently. Using the water purification system produced by Minqin Group, I estimate that the Xijiao Automobile Comprehensive Service Station should be upgraded."
"Oh? They are moving so fast! Go and take a look."
After a while, everyone arrived at the Hailufeng Automobile Comprehensive Service Station across the road.
Li Zixuan also notified the webmaster of this service station, Roman.
Roman is a short-haired female employee, quite young, only 29 years old. She ran over panting: "Boss! Boss's wife! Welcome to come and guide me. I am Roman, the stationmaster of the Beijing West Suburbs Automobile Service Station."
"Roman, has your service station upgraded the water circulation system recently?"
Hearing the boss's inquiry, Roman clarified his thoughts: "Our service station was renovated in early November, and the current water recycling rate of our entire service station has reached 97%. "
"Go in and take a look." "Boss, boss, please come here." Roman led the way in front of the left.
Enter into the comprehensive automobile service station.
The scene that comes into view is the huge parking lot.
"Our service station covers an area of 66 acres, the parking lot building covers an area of 33 acres, two underground floors and five above ground floors, with an indoor area of 140,000 square meters. Each floor is equipped with lifting and parking equipment, with a total of 7,000 indoor car parking spaces. Among these parking spaces, 2,000 locations can be used for charging services."
Roman led the way while introducing the situation to everyone.
Walking out of the parking building is a very convenient battery swap area. Currently, there are only a few future cars that are undergoing battery swap. In the next four or five months, the automobile industry has been working overtime. In September, it officially launched models that meet the new standards of batteries and lowered the price of some electric vehicles. Currently, three models have been upgraded and renovated.
In the future, the automobile will also launch an old car upgrade and renovation service, which only costs 3,000 yuan to upgrade and transform the old car into a model that can use sponge batteries.
In fact, in the future, cars will also take the advantage of taking the first move. After all, the standards of sponge batteries are similar to those of future car-mounted power batteries, and it is easy to be modified and upgraded.
Other car companies want to change to electric vehicles with battery replacement mode, and they need to consider issues such as the convenience of the replacement process, the safety of the battery layout, and the change of the vehicle center of gravity. Even if they are already working overtime, the speed will definitely not be as fast as future cars.
Jiang Miao looked in the battery swap area for a while and found that the battery swap speed was generally around 5 to 7 minutes.
In fact, the equipment automatically replaces the battery very quickly, but the time for car owners to pay and drive in and out accounts for a large part of the time.
The next door to the battery swap area is the car repair area, which is also a service for Hailufeng Company's own logistics vehicles. By the way, it provides maintenance services to car owners who park, charge, replace, and shop, as well as trailer services.
Next to the repair area, there is the car beauty area.
In order to facilitate customers to go back and forth from across the road, Hailufeng Company has also invested in the construction of two high-standard pedestrian overpasses, which are equipped with 16 elevators.
Many customers push shopping carts and can directly pass the elevator of the overpass to the parking lot and temporary parking spaces here.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
There are also nearby car owners coming to wash the car specifically.
After a while, Jiang Miao saw a car driving in and entering a special semi-enclosed car cleaning workshop. The two car cleaners began to get busy.
Roman introduced him to the situation: "Currently, the recycling rate of water for cleaning cars can reach 95%, while the recycling rate of water used in bathrooms can reach 98%. In addition, we also have indoor drainage, rainwater collection systems, etc.."
"Is there any difference in water use?"
"Yes, it is currently divided into three water use systems, namely non-food cleaning water, food cleaning water, and drinking water. They all use independent pipelines and water storage tanks. Under the ground of our service station, there are six large water storage tanks, each of which can store 5,000 cubic meters of water, and a total of 30,000 cubic meters of pure water."
In fact, the water treated by the new water purification equipment is basically pure water, and the same water supply pipeline can be used.
However, considering psychological problems, a special independent pipeline is still adopted.
After all, the water used in the bathroom and the water carried by excrement are recycled as drinking water through water purification, which is probably difficult for many people to accept.
Therefore, the water in the drinking water system is collected using rainwater and tap water, and is treated with water purification equipment and then used as daily drinking water.
Of course, considering the risk of electrolyte disorders using pure water as drinking water, the company specializes in producing mineral instant tablets, which will be regularly placed in drinking water tanks to increase the mineral content of the water body, which is equivalent to artificial mineral water.
"At present, our service station can basically achieve self-sufficiency in water use. Unless it does not rain or snow for several consecutive months, our water basically does not need to be purchased from the tap water plant."
Jiang Miao did not doubt this.
You should know that after adopting the new water purification system, the internal water recycling rate of this service station can reach 97%. If natural precipitation replenishment is added, it can even produce excess water.
And the International Space Station, which is still surviving in outer space, has an internal water recycling rate of only 98%.
This represents the water circulation system of this service station, and its effective utilization rate is basically the same as that of the International Space Station.
Maybe this recycling rate looks a bit useless in the southern region with abundant water resources, but in the North China Plain, south desert and northwest where water resources are tight, this system can basically solve the water use problems of many cities.
For example, the base camp of Minqin Group: Minqin County.
Recently, the issue of recycling all sewage is being discussed.
However, considering the psychological acceptance problem, it is estimated that sewage recycling will definitely not be able to enter the ranks of drinking water, but there is no problem in replacing some domestic water.
This requires the renovation of tap water pipes. If the tap water plant does not want to upgrade and renovate the pipelines, it is very likely that it will be used directly.
After all, laying a set of special water supply pipelines is quite costly.
In fact, as long as you pass the level in your heart, you can use mixed circulating water. After all, both are pure water and do not contain any impurities at all.
The key is the psychological level.
When I think that part of the tap water is extracted from excrement, a large number of people are probably disgusted.
This is also the reason why Hailufeng Company has laid three sets of internal water supply pipelines in its own service station.
In fact, some employees sometimes drink water from the faucet of the sink.
Roman talked about an interesting thing: "A employee from the warehouse supermarket opposite secretly brought water back from the bathroom of the supermarket to drink. He used to drink tap water, but he kept losing hair when he was in his thirties. Now he switched to drinking water from the supermarket, and his hair loss has decreased."
"What happened later?"
"Later, the warehouse supermarket was worried that other employees would follow suit, so it issued a special management regulations requiring internal employees not to take water home privately. If necessary, they can apply to the supermarket. The 15-liter bottle of internal drinking water will be charged 5 yuan."
"15-liter liter 5 yuan?" Jiang Miao thought it was OK for this price.
"In fact, only a dozen local employees need it. In our dormitory area, the dormitory area will also install a household water purifier and equipped with mineral instant tablets, so that the supply of pure water can be basically achieved at home."
For drinking pure water for a long time, as long as you eat vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk frequently, there will be basically no electrolyte disorders.
The situation where electrolyte disorders are prone to occur is those who have been doing physical labor for a long time or exercise frequently. If they drink too much pure water after sweating profusely, electrolyte disorders may occur.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many pure water bottled water on the market. "Amiao, do you think every family will be equipped with a water purifier in the future?" Shuya said with a smile, looking at the car beauty area where people come and go. "This is the general trend, especially in the northern regions, the probability of installing a home water purifier is very high."
The basis for his judgment is mainly because the water quality in the north is generally poor and the water quality is hard. Drinking too much can easily lead to kidney stones and the Mediterranean.
Moreover, as time goes by, it has now entered the late stage of the era of large-scale infrastructure. Many tap water pipelines built more than ten or twenty years ago have begun to have problems of aging and insufficient maintenance.
The aging and inadequate maintenance of the tap water pipe network can easily lead to further deterioration of the water quality, such as rust smell and reddish-brown water.
This has a clear conflict with the people's pursuit of a better quality of life.
The renewal of tap water pipeline network is obviously not that simple, especially as the land fiscal revenue in various places decreases, local investment in infrastructure will become more stingy.
At this time, many residents with relatively good family conditions will definitely purchase water purifier equipment.
The tap water purifier produced by Minqin Group can have an effective service life of 40 years. Even if some accessories can only be used for 20 years, it is better than the water purifier that is currently replaced once a few years on the market.
What's more, the water purifier effect of Minqin Group is not something that other water purifiers can touch the porcelain. This thing is completely an aerospace-level water purifier.
Purchase a set of household water purifiers, a low-energy-consuming product, for users who use dozens of cubic meters of water per month, the amount of electricity used during the period is even less than the consumption of a water pump.
If it is a restaurant, foot wash shop, bathhouse, etc. for a large water user, you can also install an independent internal water purifier to circulate the cleaning water.
In this way, commercial industries and even industries that use more water can realize internal circulation of water in this way, greatly reducing procurement from tap water plants.
