The 718th Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation was founded in 1966, and is situated in Handan city of Hebei Province with an occupation area of 900,000 m2. It is a national scientific research unit integrated with scientific research and development, design and production, and technical service. It is mainly engaged in many fields of high-energy chemistry, hydrogen generation and development of hydrogen energy, special gases, fine chemical industry, petroleum nuclear detection, environmental engineering, gas analysis, automatic control, nuclear-power hydrogen elimination, variable frequency energy saving, air purification, medical oxygen generation and etc. In the Institute, there are over 1600 workers and staff members of whom above 800 are engineers and technicians, including 30 specialists subsidized by the state government, 75 professors, over 350 senior engineers, 32 tutors of Master degree candidates and above 300 technicians with degrees of doctor and master.

Since its foundation, the Institute has provided above 500 types of advanced and reliable equipments and products for users. Now it has completed over 550 items of S&R projects and above 370 items are awarded, in which it obtained the first prize of National S&T Advance and over 220 items of provincial, ministerial or above S&T advances. It obtained over 100 items of national invention patents. Many products and technologies of hydrogen generation plants, special gases, energy saving and environmental protection, fine chemical industry, petroleum logging, automated control, instruments and apparatus and etc. are widely used in such industries as power, electronics, energy, metallurgy, chemical industry, environmental protection, building materials, textile, meteorology and etc. Our products are sold over 32 provinces and autonomous regions and also exported to over 30 countries and regions.

The Institute insists on the spiritual concept of revitalizing shipbuilding to serve our country, innovation and transcendence, forging excellent products and strengthening the major industry and aims to providing excellent technologies and products for the construction of the national defense and national economy. Taking scientific management as the base, development of new products as the key, hi-tech as the support and quality and reputation as the lift, we will offer excellent, high-quality and satisfactory products for users.
