[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT Engineering announced on the 28th that it will collaborate with EcoPeace, a smart water quality management specialist company, to target the eco-friendly convergence energy market.

The two companies signed a business agreement to mutually cooperate in ▲environmental and water quality improvement devices (equipment) and applied/convergence markets ▲business applying KT Engineering's concepts or EcoPeace's design and manufacturing products. KT Engineering will be responsible for market discovery and customized customer proposals, while EcoPeace will handle the design, manufacturing, and delivery of environmental and water quality improvement devices (equipment). EcoPeace is a company that possesses AI robot technology capable of pre-detecting algae bloom areas in freshwater facilities such as dams or water sources, purifying 600 tons of water per day, and simultaneously removing algae blooms.

Prior to this agreement, KT Engineering jointly designed the solar power-linked smart water purification platform "EcoStation" with EcoPeace. EcoStation will be first unveiled at Sincheok Reservoir in Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk, which was selected last year as a target site for the Ministry of Environment's "Smart Green City" contest project.

EcoStation is a floating structure that links an AI water purification robot with an eco-friendly solar power generation system. A solar power generation system is installed on the platform that forms the body to generate electricity, while AI-based water purification robots on both sides move around the water surface to purify the water quality. The solar power generation platform itself also has water purification functions, so it is expected to greatly help improve the water quality of the water area where the structure is installed.

Lee Sugil, Executive Director of KT Engineering's Business Division, said, "We are pleased to have an opportunity to create synergy with EcoPeace, which has strengths in eco-friendly water treatment technology, and KT Engineering, which has capabilities in renewable energy design and construction," adding, "We will do our best to discover eco-friendly water quality management business opportunities nationwide targeting freshwater facilities together with EcoPeace."
