with mature process, advanced technicality and economical costing; three examples of large-scale implementation; strong technical adaptability for extensive promotion and application; and mature technical processing, process unit or equipment/material/agent.
Finally, applicants are required to provide truthful information and will be held accountable for the authenticity of the submission. Applicants are also requested to present a Project Acceptance Report or a Performance Test/Evaluation Report issued by a qualified third party. The corresponding Monitoring Report shall be submitted as well.
Evaluation of the techniques and decision-making process The process for evaluation and selection of techniques is divided into two stages. The first stage involves a large number of environmental technology experts from China and abroad and is carried out on an online platform. The experts assess the techniques based on clearly defined evaluation criteria, as listed in Tables 16-19, for each of the following categories of techniques: i. ii. iii. iv.
Air pollution prevention and control; water pollution prevention and control; soil pollution prevention and control; and environmental monitoring.
The number of evaluation criteria for each category varies between twelve and fifteen. They cover aspects such as rationality, applicability, innovation, effectiveness in pollutant removal, stability, economic feasibility, energy and resource conservation. Since the 3iPET platform also aims to promote technology innovation, aspects such as market demand, promotion capability, and strength of the technology provider are also evaluated when selecting the technologies. Each evaluation criterion corresponds to a maximum number of points. Techniques that reach a minimum score of 80 out of 100 are taken to the second stage of the evaluation process, which involves an assessment meeting with a group of five experts. The group seeks to reach a consensual decision; however, in cases where consensus is not achieved, a vote is carried out and a final decision is taken by the team leader. The techniques chosen by the expert group are not ranked, but presented as equally good alternatives.
