本次生工實習專題演講我們很榮幸邀請到中欣工程的郭彥廷經理與我們分享，中欣工程是一間以代操作維護為主要服務內容的環保公司，為工業區與科學園區提供事業廢棄物的一條龍服務。在這次的演講中郭經理與我們分享了汙水處理流程及其背後原理，並提倡環境友善永續經營的概念，並以他在工作時的實務經驗與我們分享科學與工程應用的關聯性，如焚化爐的廢棄物處理技術發展成熟、已有百年歷史，但只要妥當改善流程就能達到雙贏目標。以燃燒時排放的廢氣為例，其包含了兩大關鍵議題，一為針對空氣汙染物進行處理以符合環保署的排放標準，減少化學品用量為潛在的改良點，二則是可以利用廢氣作為綠能發電的動力來源，以政府所設定綠色能源在2025期望可達25%(現7%)的目標，仍有相當大的發展空間，郭經理勉勵我們將基礎科學知識應用於工程技術中，可以為地球省下無數環境成本，為社會環境盡一份心力。

It is a great honor for us to invite project manager Yen-Ting Kuo from AX group. Axiom engineering corp. is an environmental protection company, which mainly provides the service of sewage treatment for factories in industrial zones and science parks. Manager Kuo shared about the process of sewage treatment and its principles behind, then he promoted the concept of environmental friendly and sustainable development. He also mentioned his working experience, which is closely related to solving engineering issues. For instance, incineration is a well-developed waste treatment process for over hundreds of years. Yet we can optimize the process to meet current development goals. In terms of the exhaust gas produced when burning the wastes, there are two crucial topics: air pollution and energy production. The exhaust emission must conform with the environmental protection law. One of the potential issues that needs to be dealt with is to reduce the usage of chemical reagents. Moreover, the heat produced during the process can be utilized as the power source of renewable energy production. As there’s still a long way to reach the goal set by Taiwan’s government of achieving the renewable target of 25% by 2025. (now: 7%) Manager Kuo encouraged us to make use of the scientific knowledge on engineering technology. We can save the earth by reducing the harm to our planet.
