On the basis of achieving significant results in the domestic market, Beijet actively seeks to expand into overseas markets. The ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Industrial Water Treatment Project has been carefully debugged by all project team members and has been successfully put into operation; The industrial water treatment project in BASF's Guangzhou integrated project has also successfully completed debugging and is about to enter a stable operation period; The Penglai 100000 ton/day seawater desalination project, a collaboration between Beijet and Suez, has also made significant progress, providing strong support for the effective utilization of seawater resources and alleviating the shortage of freshwater resources.

The "Beijet Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Service Platform" has successfully achieved the digital twin of Hongbo's overall operation process in the first half of 2024, and the digital twin of Wuhai Park and urban area in the second half, solving the problem of data fusion and promoting the launch of intelligent decision-making system. In December, Beijet once again broke through technological barriers and won a highly valuable invention patent: a machine learning based optimized water treatment method and system. In the future, we will continue to expand the application scope of digital twins, promote the widespread use of digital technology, and ensure continuous optimization and upgrading of the system. The digital information department will also deepen the construction of intelligent operation and maintenance platforms, use AI and big data analysis to enhance the level of intelligence, continuously strengthen AI technology research and application, promote the landing of AI patents, enhance predictive maintenance and intelligent decision-making capabilities through deep application of AI, achieve efficient resource scheduling and operation and maintenance management, and meet the needs of the company's digital transformation.

Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Field

In 2021, BJT successfully won the bid for all five core equipment sections of the ten thousand ton lithium extraction project in Zabuye Salt Lake, Xizang, and officially entered the field of lithium extraction in salt lakes. By the end of 2024, the mechanical completion of the five core process sections, including the nanofiltration device, under the responsibility of Beijet, has been completed and all have entered the stage of single machine testing; The Tibet Salt Lake Green Comprehensive Development and Utilization and Environmental Protection Joint Laboratory has gathered advantageous resources from all parties and is continuously committed to the research of Tibet Salt Lake resources and environment; The Xizang Salt Lake Comprehensive Development and R&D Base invested and constructed by BJT and Xizang Shigatse Zabuye Lithium Industry High Technology Co., Ltd. has achieved stable output of lithium carbonate in only 6 months; Xizang Salt Lake Comprehensive Development and R&D Base has made breakthroughs in the field of lithium extraction technology, significantly improving the extraction efficiency and reducing the extraction cost on the premise of adapting to the plateau extraction environment. Looking ahead to the future, Beijet will fully utilize its technological and experiential advantages, continuously optimize its technology route, expand related businesses, and strive to achieve comprehensive utilization of products such as lithium, freshwater, acid, alkali, rubidium, cesium, etc.

Mineral Resources Field

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era that we must persistently implement the policies and measures of the Party Central Committee on the development of the western region, and strive to build a new pattern of great protection, great opening up, and high-quality development. At the beginning of 2024, Beijie Te and the Hotan Administrative Office jointly signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the investment and development of industries such as lithium salt lakes/brines (including underground brines in blank areas), mines, and downstream positive electrode materials in Hotan.
