Desen Environmental Takes Its Soil Washing Technology to Global Trade Fairs

Zhengzhou Desen Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. has spent the first half of 2026 presenting its mobile soil washing and remediation equipment to both domestic and international audiences. In May 2026, the company exhibited at IFAT, the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management in Munich, Germany. Shortly afterwards, in June 2026, Desen participated in the 24th China International Environmental Protection Exhibition (CIEPEC 2026) at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing. Both events gave Desen the opportunity to demonstrate how its modular and mobile systems help remediation contractors and site owners treat contaminated soil more efficiently.

Why Global Buyers Follow IFAT and CIEPEC

IFAT in Munich is widely regarded as the most important environmental technology exhibition in the world, attracting exhibitors and visitors from every continent. It is where buyers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia evaluate new equipment for soil remediation, sludge treatment, water treatment and solid waste management. CIEPEC, held in Beijing, is one of China's premier environmental protection exhibitions and the key meeting point for the domestic remediation industry, bringing together regulators, engineering companies, technology providers and equipment manufacturers.

A Strategic Bridge Between Chinese Manufacturing and Global Markets

By exhibiting at both shows in the same year, Desen is building a bridge between its manufacturing base in Zhengzhou, China, and the international remediation market. The company already exports equipment to more than 100 countries and has completed over 1,000 engineering cases. Appearing at IFAT and CIEPEC reinforces Desen's position as a serious global supplier of soil washing plants rather than a purely domestic manufacturer.

What Desen Showed at the Exhibitions

Desen's exhibition stands focused on the product lines most in demand for contaminated site remediation and slurry treatment:

• Mobile soil washing and remediation plants that integrate feeding, screening, scrubbing, solid-liquid separation and wastewater treatment on a single trailer-mounted platform, deployable within one to three days.
• Mobile multistage classifying plants for the wet-type high-efficiency grading of slurry, mud and pipe sludge, equipped with a modular lifting control center, DCS distributed control and 5G cloud monitoring.
• Fixed and modular soil washing plants with capacities from 15 to 100 tons per hour for large-scale heavy metal and petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil.
• Mobile solid-liquid separation and water treatment plants that recycle more than 90 percent of process water on site.

Growing Demand for Mobile Remediation Equipment

The interest Desen received at IFAT and CIEPEC reflects a broader trend in the contaminated land industry. Contractors increasingly prefer equipment that can be deployed quickly, moved between dispersed sites, and restarted with minimal civil works. Mobile soil washing units answer this demand because they:

• Eliminate the need for concrete foundations and long installation periods.
• Cut project mobilization time by more than 80 percent compared with fixed plants.
• Allow the same machine to serve multiple plots in sequence, spreading capital cost over several projects.
• Reduce the environmental footprint of a remediation campaign by avoiding unnecessary soil haulage.

From Exhibitions to Middle East and Overseas Projects

The two 2026 exhibitions build on momentum Desen has already established overseas. In mid-2025, the company began trial operation of a soil washing project in the Middle East, treating sandy soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, PAHs and BTEX compounds from an oilfield. That project, which involves approximately 300,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil, uses washing combined with bioremediation. Success in such challenging conditions has strengthened Desen's credibility with international clients who first learn about the company at trade fairs.

Technology Highlights Behind the Mobile Plants

The equipment Desen presented at IFAT and CIEPEC is the result of more than a decade of dedicated development in environmental equipment manufacturing. The mobile scrubbing unit, for example, integrates a bar-type screening structure for primary separation, a high-efficiency soil scrubber for slurry preparation, and a clean aggregate classification module in one compact trailer configuration. Its integrated hydraulic station and water tank reduce transfer costs and shorten installation time at every new site.

The mobile classifying and finishing vehicle uses a spiral classification structure combined with a lifting stirrer, which screens fine particles from slurry efficiently while boosting the reaction rate between washing agents and contaminants. A hydrocyclone with a spiral inlet and compound-angle cone body improves separation efficiency and lowers energy consumption. The modular lifting control center enables decentralized equipment control, centralized operation and monitoring, and hierarchical management, with 5G cloud connectivity keeping the operating status of every unit visible in real time.

For slurry dewatering, the mobile filter press vehicle receives thickened slurry from the front-end scrubbing and classification stages, performs rapid solid-liquid separation, and discharges filter cakes directly onto a discharge belt for downstream handling. Filtered water either enters the water treatment module or returns to the clean water buffer tank for reuse. Together, these vehicles form a complete mobile washing train that can be towed by conventional trailers and deployed on a hardened level surface without permanent foundations.

A Renewed Commitment to Industry Development

Beyond product demonstrations, Desen used both events to exchange ideas with partners, universities and research institutes. The company maintains long-term cooperation with Zhengzhou University and Henan University of Technology, and works with leading environmental firms from Germany and Finland through technical alliances. As a founding unit of China's first team standard for soil leaching remediation systems, Desen is also helping to shape the technical framework that guides the industry. The company's history in large-scale equipment manufacturing spans more than 30 years, and its strategic shift toward environmental protection equipment in 2010 laid the foundation for the modular and mobile washing systems on display at both shows.

Looking Ahead

For remediation contractors, engineering companies and site owners exploring contaminated soil treatment options, Desen Environmental's presence at IFAT 2026 and CIEPEC 2026 confirmed that reliable, transportable and intelligent soil washing equipment is available today. Whether the goal is treating heavy metal contaminated soil at a former smelter or petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil at an oilfield, Desen offers field-proven modular and mobile solutions backed by 1,000-plus completed projects and a global service network.
