In 1998, the government initiated a study, the Singapore Water Reclamation Study (NEWater Study), to determine if reclaimed water treated to potable standards was a viable source of water. In order to facilitate the new integrated approach, the Public Utilities Board , which had previously been in charge of water supply only, was given the ...
Desalinated water is Singapore's fourth National Tap. It was first introduced in September 2005, with the first SingSpring Desalination Plant located in Tuas . The plant can produce up to 30 million gallons of water a day (136,000 cubic meters) and is one of the region's largest seawater reverse-osmosis plants.
Desalinated water is planned to meet 30% of Singapore's future water needs by 2060. [96] Existing (25% of Singapore's 2017 water demand) SingSpring, Tuas (2005) – 30 million imperial gallons (mgd) / 136,380 m 3 /day @ 3.5kWh/m3; Sungei Tampines (2007) – 4,000 m 3 /day, small scale variable salinity desalination.
The company is currently involved in developing an Integrated Water and Power Project and Singapore’s largest waste-to-energy plant. ... The company’s current desalinated water installed ...
In 2008, Siemens Water Technologies announced technology that applied electric fields to desalinate one cubic meter of water while using only a purported 1.5 kWh of energy. If accurate, this process would consume one-half the energy of other processes. [159] As of 2012 a demonstration plant was operating in Singapore. [160]
NEWater (pronounced New-Water) is the brand name given to highly treated reclaimed wastewater produced by Singapore's Public Utilities Board. NEWater is produced by further purifying conventionally treated wastewater through microfiltration , reverse osmosis and ultraviolet radiation.
To ensure sustainability, Singapore is moving increasingly towards non-conventional sources of water. These include desalination and water reclamation aimed to meet at least 25 per cent of Singapore's water needs by 2012. The Public Utilities Board planned to secure 136,000 cubic metres of desalinated water per day by the year 2005 to produce ...
