On May 1st 2018, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the 50,000t/d sea water desalination project which contracted to Safbon was successfully held in Aktau, the famous oil city of Kazakhstan. Experts of technology, construction and operation management of Safbon leading by the president Mr. Zhang Chunlin attended the event were warmly welcomed by the state governor Mr. Tugzhanov, the Mayor of Kuryk town Mr. Bekov, also the residents and the medias of Mangistauskaya Oblast. 

Governor Tugzhanov expressed his vision in his speech: It is his dream to use clean water for the locals, which is also a urgent realistic issue that is eager to be solved. This plays an important role in promoting local economic development. This desalination project of SafBon will alleviate the serious water problem in the Aktau region and also bring a gospel to the local community.

Chairman Hilling Zhang believes that the governor and his people’s choice of Safbon as a collaborator of this great seawater desalination project is an extremely correct decision. Although Safbon is headquartered in Shanghai, he has 25% of employees working in Europe and the United States. He has a global team of experts who can provide “green seawater desalination technology”, making the project an environmentally friendly project, ensuring that no pollutants are emitted to the Caspian Sea, and building the project into a model of low-carbon seawater desalination projects.

After the completion of this project, it is believed that the serious drinking water problem in Aktau would be effectively alleviated, the living quality of Aktau residents would be greatly improved, the development of local economy would be promoted.

After the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony, the governor and the local squire warmly welcomed Chairman Zhang Chunlin and his entourage in the beautiful Mongolian yurts. He expressed his blessings on the National Day of Unity in Kazakhstan and congratulated on the prosperity of the Manggis State of more than 100 ethnic groups. Peace, people's health and longevity.

The local television station asked in the interview why Safbon chose Aktau? Zhang Chunlin, chairman of the company, answered in a straightforward manner that Aktau is equivalent to Dongying in Kazakhstan (where Shengli Oil Field is located). Both cities are oil cities. They all built cities in the 1950s because of oil. Safbon provided Dongying City with a drinking water project that met the European standards six or seven years ago. Local residents can open the tap and safely drink safe water.

The settlement of this world-class advanced desalination project in Kuryk Town will continuously deliver healthy and qualified purified water to local residents and industrial users, which will greatly alleviate the water shortage problem. Safbon is making its own contribution abroad with advanced Chinese technology under the guidance of The Belt and Road policy
