On July 31, 2025, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over a regular meeting of the State Council, which approved the “Opinions on Deeply Implementing the ‘AI+’ Initiative.” The introduction of this policy has brought unprecedented opportunities for various industries to deeply apply AI technology and promote industrial upgrading. BGT's deep cultivation in the field of intelligent water management aligns highly with this national strategic direction, demonstrating significant development potential.

In today's era of global digitalization, artificial intelligence technology is transforming our lives and production methods at an unprecedented pace. As the core driving force of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, AI is reshaping the global industrial and economic landscape, deeply integrating into all industries, and becoming the “digital engine” driving application innovation and industrial upgrading.

In this transformation, the environmental protection sector is witnessing the emergence of highly imaginative application scenarios.

As a leading enterprise in the industry, BGT has long recognized the trend of digital transformation and actively expanded into smart water management services. In 2022, BGT established a Digital Center dedicated to exploring the deep integration of environmental protection and artificial intelligence. Leveraging its extensive experience in industrial water treatment and a vast amount of structured data, BGT's Digital Center has successfully developed an intelligent detection and alarm system through relentless efforts. This system can monitor key indicators such as water quality, water volume, and equipment operation status in real time. Upon detecting anomalies, it can automatically issue warnings and swiftly generate solutions, helping maintenance personnel quickly identify issues and effectively prevent minor problems from escalating into major failures, thereby reducing labor costs by over 30%.

In May 2025, BGT secured the first national-level smart water treatment maintenance project in the petrochemical industry. This marks a major breakthrough for the company in smart water management services and sets a new benchmark for digital transformation across the environmental protection industry. The project is based on the outcomes of two years of research and practical validation by BGT's Digital Center, with the core objective of achieving “unmanned operation.” It has established a comprehensive intelligent control system covering the entire process. By deploying high-precision sensor networks and edge computing nodes, the system can collect and dynamically analyze water quality parameters, equipment status, and energy consumption data in real time. Combined with predictive models built using AI algorithms, it can autonomously adjust core process parameters, upgrading traditional manual inspections to intelligent monitoring mode. The equipment's automatic start/stop rate exceeds 90%, gradually achieving the transition from “minimal manpower” to “unmanned operation.”

Smart operation and maintenance: the key to future development

Against the backdrop of the State Council Executive Meeting emphasizing the in-depth implementation of the “AI+” initiative, BGT's smart water business has ushered in broader development opportunities. The accelerated iteration and evolution of AI technology provide strong technical support for the intelligent upgrading of the water industry. Through its smart maintenance system, BGT not only achieves real-time, precise monitoring of water facilities but also integrates and analyzes historical data with real-time monitoring information to generate trend prediction models, thereby establishing a “data-driven” scientific decision-making system. This makes water operations management more efficient, precise, and intelligent, enabling effective responses to complex and dynamic water environments while enhancing the stability and reliability of water systems.

The application of the intelligent operation and maintenance system has also yielded significant results in energy conservation and emission reduction. BGT's independently developed intelligent allocation algorithm has effectively reduced comprehensive chemical consumption; the pipeline pressure dynamic balance algorithm has reduced ineffective circulation water volume by approximately one-third. In the current global trend toward green and low-carbon development, this achievement not only aligns with national policy directions but also provides a strong foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises.

Looking to the future

The State Council's Executive Meeting approved the “Opinions on Deeply Implementing the ‘Artificial Intelligence+’ Action Plan,” injecting new momentum into BGT's smart water management business. BGT will continue to increase its investment in artificial intelligence technology applications, continuously optimize and upgrade its smart maintenance system, and further enhance the intelligence level of water management operations. Additionally, BGT will actively respond to national policy initiatives, strengthen collaboration with government departments, research institutions, and universities, and jointly promote the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology in the water industry to contribute to the achievement of high-quality socio-economic development.

In the future, BGT will continue to uphold the philosophy of innovation-driven and technology-led development, with smart operation and maintenance as the core, continuously expanding the boundaries of smart water management business. By deepening the integration of artificial intelligence technology with water management operations, BGT is committed to creating smarter, more efficient, and greener water management solutions, setting a new benchmark for the digital transformation of China's water management industry and opening a new chapter in the future development of smart water management.
