On May 18th, CPPCC Vice Chairman Wang Wenyuan paid an inspection visit to Dalian Power Plant. During the inspection, Mr. Wang was briefed by the general manager of the plant director Mr. Mu Weichun about the operations of the plant, especially sea water cooling and desalination system operation conditions. Mr. Wang expressed strong interest in the desalination system, which was put into operation last year. After inquiring about the investment, output, cost and related technical questions, he commented that China is a country lacking water resources, there is acute water shortage in coastal cities. It is hoped that Dalian Power Plant can further cut down on cost and accumulate more experience in sea water desalination so that it can become a way of solving the problem of water shortages in coastal cities. He went on to visit some of the workshops and interestingly tasted desalinated water.
