Everbright Water has been adhering to the philosophy of "Development Driven by Technological Innovation" and continued its effort on carrying out relevant works. In 2025, the application of technologies in areas such as sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification and high-density sludge treatment across multiple projects enhanced automation levels and supported the ongoing development of "dark factory".
