The China Quality (Nanjing) Congress, themed "Quality: Empowering New Quality Productive Forces," was grandly held on September 16. Aligning with global economic trends and the Party Central Committee and State Council's decisions on high-quality development, the congress brought together representatives to discuss hot-button quality topics and cutting-edge quality management approaches in the current landscape. The aim was to build consensus, foster quality cooperation, accelerate quality transformation, and promote high-quality development of the global economy. Guo Hongxin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sunpower Tech, and President of Jiangsu Province (Sunpower) Industrial Energy-Saving Technology Research Institute, was invited to attend and delivered a keynote report titled " New Quality Productivity Drives Innovation & Development" at a special session. He shared Sunpower's practices and insights on driving high-quality development through technological innovation, with a core focus on high-efficiency heat transfer technology.
In his speech, Chairman Guo Hongxin stated that as a technology innovation enterprise, Sunpower has always been committed to building core technological barriers through introduction, digestion, absorption, and re-innovation since its establishment. The company provides system solutions for production increase, energy saving, emission reduction, and carbon reduction to high-energy-consumption industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, LNG, metallurgy, steel, power, and new energy, striving to be a "safeguard of national energy security" and a "practitioner of the 'Dual Carbon' goals."
Through over two decades of technological accumulation, Sunpower has established an innovation system centered on high-efficiency heat transfer technology, with coordinated development in high-end equipment R&D, cost-effective environmental systems, and technical services. In the field of high-end equipment R&D, leveraging its self-built high-efficiency heat transfer technology database and complex working condition models, the company has achieved breakthroughs in the localization of major technical equipment. Its high-end equipment has been successfully applied in localization research and technology achievement transformation projects for key equipment used by large state-owned enterprises and industry leaders such as Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, PipeChina, China Energy Investment Corporation, Wanhua Chemical, GCL Group, Tongwei Group, DAQO Group, and Huayi Group. Its series of high-end integrated equipment are also favored by Fortune 500 companies like BASF, Dow Chemical, and Shell, and have been exported to numerous countries and regions across Europe, the Americas, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, etc.
Chairman Guo Hongxin specifically highlighted that Wanhua Chemical, which received the China Quality Award at this congress, is an "aircraft carrier" in the chemical industry and an important strategic partner of Sunpower. Recognized for its superior product quality and technical service capabilities, Sunpower was highly commended by Wanhua Chemical, receiving the honorary titles of "Gold Strategic Supplier" and "Special Joint Innovation Award."
Throughout years of collaboration, Sunpower has conducted joint R&D with Wanhua Chemical based on high-efficiency heat transfer technology, achieving long-term, highly efficient, and stable operation of equipment and significantly enhancing production efficiency. Sunpower has custom-developed over 2,000 core equipment units for Wanhua Chemical's various production bases. Among these, more than 1,800 heat exchange equipment units, involving over a million tube joints, have achieved a "zero leakage" target, becoming exempt from inspection products for Wanhua Chemical and providing crucial technical support for its production increase, energy saving, and high-quality development.
In conclusion, Chairman Guo Hongxin pointed out that quality and innovation are the twin engines of corporate development and the core manifestation of new quality productive forces. Sunpower has established a "Light-Out System" information management model for the entire process quality chain. By prioritizing planning and ensuring data transparency, the system guarantees controllable processes and scientific decision-making, making the production process visible, product quality transparent, and quality security multi-dimensional. Thanks to its high-standard quality management system, Sunpower has gained widespread recognition, winning important honors such as the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the Jiangsu Province Governor's Quality Award (Nomination Award), and the Nanjing Mayor's Quality Award.
Looking ahead, Sunpower will continue to focus on high-efficiency heat transfer technology, using new quality productive forces as an engine. Through continuous technological innovation and quality improvement, it will provide comprehensive solutions for production increase, energy saving, emission reduction, and carbon reduction to more industry clients, help propel "Made in China" towards world-class standards, and contribute Sunpower's strength to achieving the "Dual Carbon" goals and the energy security strategy.
