The JINGYU leadership team
The JINGYU leadership team is made up of process engineers, not administrators. Zero liquid discharge is not a product you buy off a shelf. Every plant is designed around one specific water, and it only works if the people who designed it can also run it.
Depth behind the org chart
JINGYU employs more than 1,200 people. For a difficult water, what matters is how many of them are technical, and how long they have been doing this.
Founding team
JINGYU was founded in 2009. The founding team still runs the company.
Kui Lu, PhD
ChairmanPhD in environmental science and senior engineer, and honorary dean of the JINGYU Environmental Research Institute. Vice President of the China Environmental Sanitation Association. Standing council member of the Water Committee of the All-China Environment Federation. He has spent his career in environmental protection and water treatment, and sets the company’s strategic direction.
Longbo Xiao
Director and General ManagerEMBA from the China Europe International Business School. More than twenty years in the environmental industry, in corporate management and market development. He runs the company’s overall management. His focus is putting new process technology into the field and expanding downstream applications.
Bingfeng Wang
Director and Deputy General ManagerGraduate of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and a senior finance executive. Since 2005 he has held head of finance and chief financial officer roles at Shanghai Wangyu and at JINGYU Environment. He has more than twenty years of financial management experience.
Junfang Xia, PhD
Chief Engineer and Director of Operations TechnologyPhD in environmental engineering. His career spans research and field engineering in wastewater treatment, zero liquid discharge, and resource recovery. He received first prize in the 2020 Huaxia Construction Science and Technology Award. He co-authored the industry standards for industrial sodium sulfate and sodium chloride from coal chemical by-products, and the guidelines for municipal solid waste leachate treatment. He now leads operations technology, engineering technology, and materials testing.
Technical leadership
Between them, the engineers below have spent well over a century on industrial water. Several worked on China’s first full-scale ZLD plants. That is why our process packages come from field experience rather than from a catalog.
Professor Minghong Wu
Foreign Academician, Russian Academy of Engineering and Russian Academy of Natural SciencesBorn in 1968 in Dongyang, Zhejiang. PhD in science, professor, and doctoral supervisor. She currently serves as Vice President of Shanghai University and Dean of its Graduate School.
The team she leads received the 2018 National Natural Science Award, Second Prize, for work on microstructure control in graphene. She also holds appointments as a standing council member of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences and of the Nuclear Technology Application Branch of the Chinese Nuclear Society. She serves on the review panel of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and as a review expert for the National Science and Technology Awards.
Professor Wu established the Shanghai University–JINGYU Environmental Research Institute. Her work on graphene has already been applied in several JINGYU projects. She leads our R&D team on new materials for wastewater treatment and on other treatment technologies.

Jianwei Lan
Director, Deputy General Manager, and Dean of the Research InstituteMaster’s in chemical engineering from Zhejiang University. Senior engineer and registered environmental protection engineer.
Jianwei has spent his career in wastewater pollution control and environmental engineering. His practical experience in salt separation for zero liquid discharge is pioneering in the field. He has driven the development and field application of several of our core technologies, and has received provincial and ministerial environmental science and technology awards more than once. He now leads technology strategy, the R&D organization, and our core process routes.
Wengang Pan
General Manager, EPC CompanyIntermediate engineer in environmental engineering, with more than twenty years in industrial water treatment.
Wengang works across water treatment, reclaimed water reuse, ultrapure water production, and whole-plant water system planning. His specialties are high-recovery brine reuse, high-efficiency purification, and crystallized salt recovery. He has published three papers in Materials Protection and the Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science). The team he leads has generated 15 invention patents and more than 30 utility model patents.
Yaoshui Zhou
Chief Engineer, EPC Company. Head of Technology R&D, Research InstituteA senior specialist in zero liquid discharge, Yaoshui works on the development and application of industrial ZLD and resource recovery technology.
His experience spans engineering design, technical review, system commissioning, and project execution. He is one of the technical leads for our ZLD work, and has directed the technical scope of large ZLD plants across several industries. The focus is always the same: high recovery, stable long-run operation. He now handles technical review and sign-off on EPC company projects.
Shuishui Zhang
Deputy General Manager, EPC Company. Dean of the Design InstituteMore than twenty years in wastewater treatment, concentrated on evaporation, crystallization, and salt separation for zero liquid discharge.
Shuishui works on process concept development, engineering design, and pre-sales support. He is one of the leads for ZLD project design and front-end engineering. He took part in China’s first pilot project for industrial brine ZLD with salt separation, and in the plants built since. He is named as an inventor on several invention patents.
Xiaoqin Fang
Head of the Project Development Office and the Laboratory, Research InstituteXiaoqin’s work covers laboratory analysis, water quality testing, and R&D project management. Her depth is in chemical and biological analysis, and in building testing systems.
Her team provides the analytical backbone for our technology development, process validation, and project execution. She leads research into new water pollution control technologies and the rollout of new processes, and has organized numerous patent applications. She has also run research programs including the Shanghai Science and Technology Little Giant program and the enterprise patent pilot program.
Pengfei Li
Executive Deputy Dean, Research InstituteMaster of Engineering and senior engineer, specializing in evaporation and crystallization for zero liquid discharge.
Pengfei has directed the application and full-scale implementation of evaporation technologies in ZLD projects across China. His emphasis is on standardizing process packages so projects can be delivered efficiently. He now organizes technology development at the research institute and supports new business technically.
Chao Xie
Deputy Dean, Research Institute. Head of Advanced ResearchMaster’s in chemical engineering from Tsinghua University. Registered environmental protection engineer and senior engineer.
Chao has spent close to twenty years in water treatment. He previously served as deputy chief engineer at a listed environmental company. His technical background covers coal chemical, petrochemical and refining, fine chemical, and pharmaceutical wastewater, along with reuse and zero liquid discharge. He now leads advanced research and our priority technology directions.
