Discussion on "equipment lock" in modern sewage treatment technology
In the process of modern industrial production and urbanization, the importance of water treatment has been paid more and more attention, among which sewage treatment is the most important. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, sewage treatment technology is also improving. However, in this process, the problem of "equipment lock" has gradually emerged.
The so-called "equipment lock" mainly refers to a special technical protection measure taken by some manufacturers to ensure the market share and profit space of their products. Usually, these manufacturers will design specific operating systems, accessories or maintenance procedures for their own sewage treatment equipment, so that they can only use their own products and services. This is the so-called "equipment lock".
Taking sewage treatment as an example, sewage treatment devices produced by some manufacturers often need to use special filter materials or biofilm to complete filtration and purification. These materials are often provided exclusively by manufacturers and are not compatible with other brands' products. This makes users have to continue to choose the supporting products of this brand when replacing consumables in the later stage, which invisibly increases the operating cost. In addition, due to the lack of competitive pressure, some suppliers may also have inflated prices.
On the surface, "equipment lock" seems to bring certain competitive advantages to manufacturers, but in fact it has caused many adverse effects on the whole industry and even the social environment:
1. First of all, "equipment lock" leads to waste of resources and environmental pollution. When a certain type of sewage treatment equipment is eliminated, the exclusive consumables used with it will also be abandoned; Moreover, because it is not universal, a large number of surplus special consumables in the market can not be effectively recycled, thus aggravating the risk of garbage accumulation and secondary pollution.
2. Secondly, "equipment lock" restricts technological innovation and development. In a closed ecosystem, it is difficult for different enterprises to share resources and exchange technology. In the long run, it will seriously hinder the research and development progress and overall level improvement of new technologies and processes in the field of water treatment in China.
3. Finally, for consumers, "equipment lock" directly increases the purchase and use costs. In addition to the initial investment, it is necessary to hold during the daily operation and maintenance.Continue to pay high fees for updating and replacing exclusive consumables.
In view of the above problems, we suggest:
Government departments should strengthen the supervision of such acts, prohibit manufacturers from abusing their monopoly position through legislative means and set clear punishment standards;
Industry organizations can take the lead in establishing an open platform, promoting the construction of information sharing mechanism and broadening supply chain channels to reduce procurement costs;
Users themselves should also enhance their awareness of rights protection and try to choose products with good openness and high cost performance when purchasing;
In short, although "equipment lock" can create profit returns for enterprises in the short term, in the long run, this practice obviously does not meet the requirements of the concept of sustainable development. Only by breaking down barriers and promoting fair competition can China's water treatment industry move towards a healthier and greener direction!
