Gotion Baotou Phase I full Wastewater Treatment Installation Completed
Gotion's Baotou Phase I facility produces cathode and battery-cell materials, generating high-salinity and metal-bearing wastewater. Baihuipu completed the installation of a complete wastewater treatment system that equalizes, precipitates, filters, and concentrates the effluent for compliant discharge.
Wastewater Sources at Baotou Phase I
Cathode material washing produces wastewater with elevated nickel, cobalt, manganese, and lithium concentrations.
Equipment and floor washing adds suspended solids and alkaline pH spikes.
Cooling tower blowdown contributes salinity and hardness to the combined stream.
Treatment Strategy
The design uses equalization, chemical precipitation, multi-media filtration, and activated carbon adsorption.
Metals are precipitated as hydroxides and sulfides, then removed in lamella clarifiers.
A brine concentrator reduces the volume of high-salinity residual for off-site disposal. The same selection criteria reappear in carbon fibre manufacturing wastewater, which is worth opening alongside this one.
Installation Execution
Baihuipu supervised unloading, alignment, and anchoring of all supplied tanks and skids.
Piping connections between process units were verified against P&ID drawings and pressure-tested.
Reference Data from Our Own Projects
One reference point: a 10 m³/day installation we delivered in Fuyang, Anhui (2022) was treating feed at roughly 17,938 mg/L COD and holding discharge near 150 mg/L, about 99.2% removal. The train was Fenton + UASB anaerobic + denitrification + contact oxidation + MBR.
| Location | Year | Flow | Feed COD | Treated COD | Removal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fuyang, Anhui | 2022 | 10 m³/d | 17,938 mg/L | 150 mg/L | 99.2% |
Figures are site-measured values from commissioned plants, not modelled estimates.
Electrical and control tie-ins were completed with the site's DCS integration team.
Testing and Acceptance
Hydrostatic tests were performed on all atmospheric and pressurized vessels. The same selection criteria reappear in Peel Oil, Pectin and High BOD, which is worth opening alongside this one.
A 72-hour continuous run demonstrated stable effluent quality and equipment reliability.
Final acceptance was signed after the third-party lab report met discharge permit requirements.
Conclusion
Baotou Phase I confirms Baihuipu's expertise in complex battery-material wastewater treatment.
The installed system supports Gotion's production ramp-up while maintaining environmental compliance.
Baihuipu continues to provide spare parts and technical support under the operations agreement.
Combining Treatment Stages
The same selection criteria reappear in Corn Wet Milling effluent, which is worth opening alongside this one. Most facilities do not run a single clean stream, and a shared equalisation and biological stage is usually the economical answer once the streams are chemically compatible.
Why Choose Baihuipu as Your Manufacturer
Two decades in this industry teaches you that most treatment problems are procurement problems in disguise. Someone bought the cheapest skid, nobody checked the equalisation volume, and eighteen months on the plant cannot hold its consent limit. We build differently.
In-House Fabrication
Our Guangdong works produces everything from standard modular units to fully bespoke lines. Building in-house keeps cost, schedule and quality under our own control rather than a subcontractor's goodwill.
Experience Built the Hard Way
Since the early 2000s we have commissioned plants for food and beverage processors, chemical works, electroplaters, textile mills, mines and municipalities. The lessons that stick are scaling, fouling and sludge handling — those inform every design we issue.
Complete Units and Turnkey Plants
Whether you need a single package unit or a turnkey installation with civil works, we deliver the entire treatment scheme. Our engineering team covers process, mechanical, electrical and automation so one party owns the outcome.
Spares, Service and Commissioning
Membranes, dosing pumps, diffusers, instrumentation and blowers are stocked for the systems we sell. Our control systems support remote diagnostics, and we can put an engineer on site for commissioning, training or an unplanned shutdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to quote?
Water analysis for your worst-case stream, peak and average flows, discharge limits, available footprint and utilities. If you do not have a full analysis yet, we can start from a partial one and flag the gaps.
How do you handle sludge from this process?
Sludge handling is where most budgets quietly blow out. We size dewatering against realistic solids production, and we usually recommend a filter press for this duty. The disposal route — landfill, incineration, or a licensed contractor — should be confirmed before commissioning.
Can you work with our existing equipment?
Often yes. We regularly integrate into existing civil structures where the concrete is sound, replacing internals and controls rather than starting over. We will tell you honestly when legacy kit is beyond economic repair.
How long does a battery plant installation system take to deliver?
Standard units ship in about 10 to 11 weeks. Custom trains with treatment strategy included run longer — plan for 17 to 21 weeks once detailed engineering starts. Site installation and wet commissioning add another few weeks.
What treatment capacity do you normally design for battery plant installation China?
Skid-mounted units cover roughly 37 to 533 m³/day depending on the duty, and parallel trains extend that further. We size against your actual peak hour flow rather than the daily average, because equalisation rarely absorbs the whole spike.
