Empowering Southeast Asia’s Water Sector Building a Green Future Together
— CEEC GEZHOUBA ECO-ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMPANY Debuts at ASIAWATER 2026 in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, April 7 — From April 7 to 9, ASIAWATER 2026 officially opened at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, bringing together leading players across the global water and environmental protection sectors. As one of Asia’s most influential professional exhibitions, this year’s event focuses on key issues including water resource management, wastewater treatment, and seawater desalination across Malaysia and the wider region. By convening cutting-edge technologies and industry resources, the exhibition serves as a vital platform for advancing the green transformation of the local water industry.
CEEC Gezhouba Eco-Environmental Protection made a strong appearance at the event, presenting its full industrial chain solutions and global project experience. The company highlighted its commitment to delivering customized, professional solutions tailored to Malaysia’s needs, underscoring both its technical strength and long-term dedication to the local market.
Sustainable water resource management remains a critical priority for Malaysia’s urban development and public well-being. As an active participant in international water cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, CEEC Gezhouba Eco-Environmental Protection aligns closely with Malaysia’s green development vision. By integrating proven global expertise with local conditions, the company aims to inject new momentum into regional water governance.
Global Benchmarks Adapted to Local Needs
Leveraging its integrated investment, construction, and operation capabilities, the company has developed a portfolio of benchmark projects worldwide—offering valuable references for Malaysia’s water sector.
Internationally, the Malabo Wastewater Treatment Project in Equatorial Guinea, the country’s first such facility, has significantly improved access to clean water while contributing to a reduction in malaria incidence, delivering both ecological and public health benefits. Meanwhile, the Kality Wastewater Treatment Project in Ethiopia adopts a combined UASB and biological trickling filtration process. Beyond plant operations, the company has also provided technical and management training to local personnel, successfully exporting Chinese standards and operational expertise.
These overseas projects provide mature, replicable models for the localized implementation and lifecycle management of water infrastructure projects in Malaysia.
In China, the Macau Artificial Island Wastewater Treatment Plant—an iconic project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—processes 300MLD of wastewater daily and produces 50MLD of reclaimed water, with over 50% green coverage, creating a “garden-style” water recycling facility. The Phase III expansion of the Jingu Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tianjin handles 450MLD of wastewater and 700 tons of sludge per day, with an annual ecological water replenishment capacity of 120 million tons. Integrating photovoltaic energy storage and smart water management systems, it stands as a model for green, low-carbon water treatment.
These successful projects offer practical insights for Malaysia’s push toward intelligent and low-carbon upgrades of its water infrastructure.
Rooted Locally, Committed for the Long Term
“Deepening our presence in Malaysia is not about simply exporting technology—it is a long-term commitment to mutual growth with local partners,” said Yang Huobing, Deputy General Manager of CEEC Gezhouba Eco-Environmental Protection.
To ensure precise alignment with Malaysia’s needs, the company’s technical teams have conducted on-site assessments of pipeline networks, collected and analyzed water quality data, and gained in-depth understanding of operational challenges faced by local facilities. By collaborating with Malaysian engineering firms and technical institutions, the company has refined customized solutions and localized its core technologies. At the same time, it actively recruits local engineers and technical professionals, fostering dual empowerment through both technology transfer and talent development.
During the exhibition, the company’s delegation engaged in in-depth discussions with Malaysian water authorities, leading engineering firms, and industry associations, facilitating precise alignment between technical solutions and local demand.
“We hope to leverage this exhibition as a springboard to accelerate key project negotiations and deliver benchmark projects in Malaysia at the earliest opportunity—ensuring that technological advancements truly benefit local communities,” Yang added.
Technology-Driven Solutions to Water Challenges
In response to the core demands of Malaysia’s water sector, CEEC Gezhouba Eco-Environmental Protection, together with its strategic partners, adopted an innovative “1+6” joint exhibition model, showcasing a range of advanced technologies characterized by intelligence, low carbon, and localization.
The Smart Water Island AI Control System integrates proprietary AI algorithms to enable full-process intelligent management, including water quality monitoring, process optimization, and equipment operation—significantly reducing lifecycle costs. The ozone generator and activated carbon advanced treatment system, certified under EU CE standards, effectively removes residual chlorine, odors, and harmful substances from water. The sludge dewatering system enables both volume reduction and resource utilization, addressing the industry’s high disposal costs and environmental pressures. Meanwhile, the combination of satellite leak detection and trenchless pipeline repair technologies allows precise identification and repair of leaks without large-scale excavation, minimizing disruption to urban traffic and daily life.
CEEC Gezhouba Eco-Environmental Protection will continue to uphold its principles of localized operation, professional service, and long-term partnership. By continuously optimizing its technologies and service models, the company aims to support Malaysia in enhancing its water resource management capabilities and jointly building a sustainable, green water ecosystem—opening a new chapter in China-Malaysia cooperation in the water sector.
