October in Beijing, comfortable wind blows along the beautiful autumn scenes. Wal-Mart's first global Sustainable Development Summit and the Sustainable Development Fair were held in Beijing Shangeri-la Hotel on Oct 22. The common strong anticipation of the whole nations for a sustainable development world has greatly conflicted with the exhausted global environmental resources. Environmental Protection and Resource Preservation thus has now become a world's urgent common mission. With the further development and opening-up of China, the awareness of environmental protection is now broadly and entirely awaked all over the Chinese land. Influenced by the "A Green Beijing Olympic", in this gold autumn in Beijing, the whole nation, led by its capital city, that has already accumulated adequate strengths, is vigorously ready to burst out walking into a cleaner & healthier future. Wal-Mart held this sustainable development summit in Beijing under such a suitable and extraordinarily excited background of environmental protection.

As the executing pioneer of the sustainable development strategy in globe, Wal-Mart revolutionized his over 900 worldwide scaled suppliers in China to ensure them develop greenly and sustainably.
Wal-Mart requests all its suppliers in China to strictly comply with the Chinese relevant environmental laws in the aspect of industrial gas purification, industrial waste water treatment, environmental friendly and safety for their resource materials, the energy conservation of their plant architecture etc, to fully take their social responsibilities. The Wal-Mart Sustainable Development Fair is the key event for the first Wal-Mart Sustainability Summit, which invited the top management as well as the expert in EHS from their over 900 hundred retailing suppliers which provide the 75% of the total products to Wal-Mart's global market to visit the exhibition, constituted by various environmental technology suppliers, to know the latest environmental solutions in above aspects.

PACT's agented product - GEM(Gas Energy Mixing) system , was invited to be only exhibitor in the area of waste water primary treatment to display on the fair by its excellent treatment efficiency as the technology recommendation to the manufacturing plant representatives. GEMT system attracted the attention of many visitors and gained very good comments.

"The COD amount can be deducted to 1260 mg/L from over 11000 mg/L, this technology is brilliant! This could help us to fully solve the problem of suspended solids; eliminating the old hassle emerged in the biological treatment generated by the insufficient processing in the floatation. ", said by an EHS female representative from a fabric manufacturer after she read the Gem's Post and brochure.

The innovative LSGM® dissolved air floatation (DAF) technology of GEMT was shiningly displayed on the fair, as it is a great innovation and evolution compared to the traditional DAF technology. The creative advancement brings in an exceptional 100% processing efficiency in the floatation. Flocs produced by GEMT are 100% floated up, which achieved a great breakthrough in the floatation technology. For the waste water treatment for various plants, a 100% rate achieved by this technology is like a gospel as it helps the plant to eventually realize a thorough elimination of the suspended solids in their waste water, which will not affect or add burden to their following biological treatment process. GEMT commits to a highest efficiency in floatation to better treat the waste water than ever.

Knowing that the sludge produced by GEMT is considerably firm, having a sharp lower water contain rate than any other floatation technology, Mr. David Carew, Group Executive Vice President for Sindicatum Carbon Capital had great interest in GEMT system. Sindicatum Carbon Capital is a company who expertises in the carbon decreasing certification service to the companies run in the Europe and North America Region who need to comply with the carbon decreasing goals according to the Tokyo Protocol. Understanding the current high sludge dewatering fare and the expensive cost that enterprises have to spend on the sludge outer transportation in the waste water treatment, Mr. Carew think GEMT system could greatly help their plant clients to achieve the carbon & energy decrease of waste and sludge treatment by 10 times decrease in water contain for sludge, saving 9/10 cost of transportation for sludge achieved by GEMT, which eventually will help these plants to fulfill their carbon decrease pledged to the Tokyo Protocol. This would be both an environmental friendly and financially benefited project to the plants, which saves a big part of the sludge treatment fare.

During the half-day fare, Wal-Mart suppliers from fabric, food, mechanic & manufacturing, paper-making, dying, as well as commodities manufacturing have come to GEMT's booth to inquire about GEMT's function and having our brochures to find out our solution to their waste water treatment. With the help of vivid 3D product animation and model in the live, Staffs for GEMT illustrated clearly to the plants owners & managers GEMT's value proposition, which will greatly enhance their efficiencies of primary water treatment process as well as will save major part of the cost and a quick ROI after installing the equipment.

"The little blue water-drop" toy was given to the visitors as a compliment on the Wal-Mart Sustainability Fair, which was greatly loved by the visitors even as well as other exhibitors. People come to the GEMT's booth, very exciting to take one as a memory for our product as well as for this fair. The great love people have towards the image of this clean cute blue water-drop shows their strong anticipation to a cleaner future of water. GEMT would commit to this mission by employing its excellent innovative technology to bring China a cleaner future of water resource.
