Desalination refers to the process of removing salt and other minerals from water.
The desalinated water is then used for human consumption or in industries. There are
mainly two types of desalination processes: thermal distillation and membrane-based
desalination.
Membrane-based desalination, such as reverse osmosis (RO) technology, uses semipermeable membranes and pressure to separate salts from water. Membrane-based
desalination is becoming the desalination technology of choice as it has proven to
reduce overall desalination costs.
Hyflux is acknowledged as a global leader in membrane-based desalination solutions.

The SingSpring Desalination Plant at Tuas is

Singapores first seawater desalination plant, and
it meets some 10% of the nations current water
needs. The plant adopts RO technology with
semi-permeable membranes to produce some
136,380 m 3/day of potable water, enough to fill
about 55 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The plant also holds the distinction of being
Singapores first public-private-partnership
initiative. The project financing deal was awarded
the Euromoney Asia Pacific Water Deal of the Year

in 2003, setting a new benchmark in terms of scope

as well as complexity of execution in the growing
market of privately financed water projects.
The SingSpring Desalination Plant also won
Distinction at the Global Water Awards 2006, with
the judges pronouncing the plant as a brilliant work
of engineering which has challenged the global
perception that desalination is a high cost source
of water.

Tuaspring Desalination Plant is Singapores second
desalination plant. With a designed capacity of
318,500 m3/day of desalinated water, it is the largest
desalination plant in South East Asia.
The plant utilises Hyfluxs proprietary Kristal
ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology for the
pre-treatment process and a double pass reverse
osmosis (RO) process to produce water for domestic
and industrial use. This is one of the worlds largest
UF installations in a desalination plant.

Yet another innovative solution to enhance the

operational efficiency of the plant is the integration of
a 411 MW on-site combined cycle gas turbine power
plant with the desalination plant. The power plant will
supply electricity to the desalination plant.
This landmark desalination project is sited some
250 m away from SingSpring Desalination Plant.
It marks Hyfluxs entry into the integrated water and
power project market.

Hyflux was awarded the project to develop a

seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination
plant in Magtaa, Algeria in April 2008 by the stateowned Algeria Energy Company (AEC) which
handles the power and water privatisation exercise
in the North African country. Hyflux won the project
under intense competition from international
contenders.
Hyfluxs partners for the project are AEC and the
state-owned national water company LAlgrienne
Des Eaux (ADE). The off-takers are Sonatrach
and ADE.
The Magtaa Desalination Plant is distinctive in
a number of ways. With a designed capacity of
500,000 m 3/day of desalinated water, it is one of the
largest SWRO desalination plants in the world.

It features the worlds largest installation of

ultrafiltration membranes for the pre-treatment
process. Hyfluxs Kristal membranes are employed
for the pre-treatment stage.
The pipe laying is an engineering feat in its own
right. The plant is located some 400 m away from
the shoreline separated by a very challenging
stretch of terrain that includes a lake, a railway
track and sand dunes. In order to lay the intake
and outfall pipes, a tunneling technique called pipe
jacking was employed to tunnel some 10 m below
sea level for the pipes to be laid and extended to
the sea. Three intake tunnels, each 1.2 km long and
an outfall tunnel of 1.0 km length were constructed
in this manner.

treatment market in the region.
Situated just 50 m from the coast, the desalination plant employs Hyfluxs ultrafiltration
membrane technology for the pre-treatment process, followed by a reverse osmosis treatment
process. The water produced is for Algerias state-owned national water company and the

NEWater is a term coined by PUB, Singapores national water agency, for high-grade
reclaimed water that has been produced from treated used water that is further purified using
advanced membrane technologies and ultraviolet disinfection, making it ultra-clean and safe

The Bedok NEWater Plant is Singapores first NEWater plant, and it marked Hyfluxs entry
into the municipal water treatment market. The project also featured the first large-scale use
of membranes in a municipal project in Singapore.
Hyflux supplied the process equipment for the plant, which uses ultrafiltration and reverse

The Jurong Membrane Bioreactor Plant is situated at Jurong Water Reclamation Plant, a
conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment facility. Using biological processes and
microfiltration membranes, wastewater from the industrialised Jurong catchment is treated for
use by industries on Jurong Island.
As a brownfield site, this project presented some challenges. The limited land area meant
that the plant layout had to be designed to minimise overall footprint while detailed planning
and site survey were required to ensure that the existing underground structures were
protected during the retrofit. In addition, the retrofitting work had to be carried out in an
operating plant with minimal disruptions to ongoing operations.
MBRs offer several advantages over conventional wastewater treatment such as small
footprint, easy retrofit and simple operations, in addition to high quality effluent that can be
re-used or safely discharged to coastal, surface or brackish waterways.

Wastewater treatment is the treatment of used water released from residences,

businesses (such as restaurants and food courts) and industries. It is a multistage treatment process to eliminate or reduce the pollutants and toxins in the
wastewater to an acceptable level before the water can be safely discharged into
the environment. Wastewater treatment may be followed by recycling for re-use.
