Since it was restructured as a private science and technology enterprise by a municipal scientific research institution in 2003, the City Light Industry Research Institute has established a sound enterprise innovation system by integrating resources, improving incentive systems and management systems, and expanding the market space.
The City Light Industry Research Institute is the only scientific research, design, engineering consulting, scientific and technological information, quality detection, and intermediate test of the national well mineral salt industry. aspect. Designed and built China's first set of 600,000-ton/year salt plant: completed the design of the “1st in Asia†- Chongqing Sote Group's 1 million tons vacuum salt plant, and it has been officially put into production operation; The "solid lost-boiling desiccator", "triple streamer dryer", "salt thickening feeder", "spraying cyclone dust remover" and so on are in the leading position in the domestic industry.
In the process technology research, the institute cooperated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology to develop the study of the technology of the opposite crystal salt, the pickling solution of Yingcheng brine pipeline, the development of non-ferrocyanide salt anti-caking agent, and the mechanical engineering The related production and application technologies jointly researched by the Third Design Institute and Tianjin University have reached the domestic leading level.
In terms of product development and research, the Institute has cumulatively developed over 100 varieties of refined salt with a market share of over 50%. At the same time, Ganoderma lucidum salt was developed using biotechnology, which increased the technical content of salt products and increased the added value of products.
