With the official implementation of China’s HJ 212-2025 Technical Requirements for Data Transmission of Pollutant Automatic Monitoring System and the upcoming enforcement of the Ecological Environment Code, stricter supervision is being carried out on wastewater discharge monitoring. Regulators have raised higher standards for online water quality instruments used at wastewater outlets, including pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity sensors. Factories in chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage industries, together with industrial wastewater treatment plants, are now entering a critical period to evaluate and upgrade their monitoring systems.

At a time when the world is paying more and more attention to environmental protection, the importance of water quality monitoring is self-evident. However, its development has encountered many bottlenecks. On the one hand, the uneven distribution of monitoring points and the insufficient number of monitoring points cannot fully and accurately reflect the water quality of the water area. Taking a large lake as an example, only a few monitoring points are set up sporadically around it, and the center of the lake and other areas have been in the monitoring blind spot for a long time. Once the water quality is abnormal, it is difficult to detect it in time. On the other hand, the aging of monitoring equipment and lagging technology have resulted in poor detection capabilities for trace pollutants and emerging pollutants. For example, some old sensors have extremely low detection sensitivity for some new pesticide residues, which cannot meet the increasingly stringent monitoring needs. At the same time, the massive monitoring data lacks unified standards and effective sharing mechanisms, forming "data islands" with low utilization rates. ​

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of water quality management technology and level in water plants, online water quality monitoring system has been integrated as an emerging management method, triggering industry changes. With the help of advanced sensor technology and automation equipment, the system can monitor the quality of raw water, water production process and outgoing water in water plants 24 hours a day. From key indicators such as pH, turbidity to residual chlorine content, they can all be accurately measured, and data can be fed back in real time, which completely changes the lag and limitations of traditional manual sampling and monitoring. ​

In today's society, water is a basic substance for human life and economic development, and its importance is self-evident. From daily drinking to industrial production and agricultural irrigation, the quality of water is directly related to people's health and sustainable development of the industry. The water quality monitoring industry has also shouldered a heavy responsibility and become a key line of defense to protect the safety of water resources. ​
