Recently, the inaugural assembly of the “National Seawater Desalination Industry Alliance” was grandly held in Tianjin Binhai New Area. Leveraging its leading technological capabilities in industrial wastewater deep resource recovery, extensive benchmark project experience, and broad industry influence, BGT Group was elected as the alliance's first vice-chair unit. Group General Manager Zhang Jianfei led the core team to attend the conference, gathering with government leaders, industry experts, and industrial representatives to jointly explore development paths for the seawater desalination industry and chart a new strategic blueprint for sustainable water resource utilization.

Currently, China faces increasingly prominent water resource supply-demand contradictions. As a strategic emerging industry ensuring water resource security, seawater desalination plays a vital role in supporting the sustainable economic and social development of coastal regions and optimizing the national water security landscape. The National Seawater Desalination Industry Alliance adheres to the principles of resource sharing, complementary strengths, industrial support, and collaborative development. It brings together leading enterprises, top research institutions, and universities across the industry chain to break down barriers to collaboration, accelerate the transformation of innovative technologies, and comprehensively enhance industrial competitiveness. Being entrusted with this important role is not only a high recognition of BGT's comprehensive strength but also a profound expectation for its leadership in driving high-quality development of the industry.

BGT's sustained leadership in seawater desalination and comprehensive water resource utilization stems from its dual-engine approach of independent core technology R&D and major project implementation. The Group's core systems—including high-salinity wastewater zero-liquid discharge salt separation technology and efficient reclaimed water reuse processes—have reached internationally advanced levels in certain aspects, providing robust technical support for achieving efficient, low-carbon, and cost-effective seawater desalination operations.

In engineering practice, BGT has delivered multiple benchmark projects with industry-wide significance. Among these, the 100,000-ton-per-day seawater desalination project at Wanhua Chemical's Penglai Industrial Park stands as a landmark project for industrial membrane-based seawater desalination in China and exemplifies Sino-French cooperation in water resources. As the core technical partner for this project, BGT Technology infused innovative momentum throughout the project's design, construction, and operation lifecycle with its cutting-edge salt separation and reuse technology systems, fully demonstrating the Group's systemic solution capabilities in large-scale seawater desalination projects.

Being elected as the Vice Chairman unit of the Alliance marks a new phase in BGT's industrial layout within the seawater desalination sector. Moving forward, BGT will actively fulfill its responsibilities as Vice Chairman, focusing on advancing the following initiatives:

● Strengthening Technical Collaboration: Opening R&D platforms, participating in joint research on key technologies, and driving progress in common industry technologies;

● Promoting Ecosystem Cooperation: Facilitating resource integration across the industrial chain to build a collaborative, win-win industrial ecosystem;

● Disseminate benchmark practices: Share proven project management and operational expertise to elevate the industry's overall service capabilities.

Water is the source of life and the foundation of development. Taking the establishment of this alliance as an opportunity, BGT will wield innovation as its pen and responsibility as its ink. Collaborating closely with partners across all sectors, it will continue to deepen its commitment to seawater desalination and comprehensive water resource utilization. This dedication will contribute robust technological and industrial strength to advancing green industrial transformation, safeguarding national water security, and supporting the achievement of the “dual carbon” goals.
