  • Water Source: Seawater
  • Customer: Tuas Power-ST Engineering consortium
  • End user: PUB
  • Usage: Potable water
  • Technology: Reverse Osmosis (RO)
  • Contract type: Engineering & Procurement
  • Location: Singapore
  • Commissioning date: 2021

Highlights

  • Pre-fabricated modular design

  • Size & durability

    The first large-scale pre-engineered modular plant. The entire plant was fabricated in pre-assembled modules and tested in the production facility before being shipped to the site.

  • Design challenges

    Overcame difficult seawater conditions, including very high levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), high levels of organics, and numerous algae events, as well as significant daily tidal variations and conflicting currents that reverse seawater temperature and characteristics every six months.
