SINGAPORE – Singapore has opened a new plant to treat and recycle industrial used water.
Previously, industrial water was treated then discharged into the sea. This new plant treats used water to bring about with a higher yield and consistent quality that can be recycled by industries.
The plant uses technology that combines an anaerobic treatment method with ceramic membrane bioreactor to treat used industrial water. The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket removes organic contaminants from the water, while the ceramic membrane bioreactor further treats the water.
Sited at the Jurong Water Reclamation plant, the plant has a capacity to treat 4,550 cubic metres of water, equivalent to 1.5 Olympic-sized pools.
It is the result of a collaboration between national water agency PUB and Japanese company Meiden Singapore. The plant cost the PUB and Meiden Singapore some S$10 million.
