From August 28th to September 1st of 2011, the team consisting of five 2009 Grade undergraduate students and 3 teachers from the Department of Energy Engineering went to Taiwan for 2011 Dongyuan Scientific Innovation Competition. They were Binbin Lin, Weiwei Huang, Fengsen Zhu, Xuping Zhou, Guodong Zhu, together with Professor Shaoan Cheng and Associate Professor Zhijun Zhou and Lecturer Jie Wu. The device Sewage Diaposal System Supported by Microbial Fuel which designed by them stood out from the 23 works in final competiton and won the Outstanding-Award.
Started from 2006, Dongyuan Scientific Innovation Competition set up annual themes according to the trend of the scientific development. This competition is the second one to invite top universities from mainland China since 2010, which offered a favorable platform for the communication between the students from both sides by the addition of demonstration competition. The Sewage Disposal System Supported By Microbial Fuel, designed by Zhejiang University, showing the confidence of students from Zhejiang University with its innovative sewage disposal ideal, feasibility analysis based on sound theories, data processing depended on strict experiments, visual experiment show, innovative idea of energy conservation, and good prospect of application, has received the approval and affirmation from the judging panel.
