PUB calls for open tender to expand Bedok NEWater plant
The Public Utilities Board (PUB) is expanding the production capacity of the Bedok NEWater plant. An open tender will be called for the installation of new equipment. When completed in mid 2008, the plant will have more than double the existing capacity from 32,000 cubic metres per day to 83,000.
Homegrown water company GrahamTek has successfully developed a new system that has proven to be more efficient in the production of reclaimed water. The system uses 16-inch reverse osmosis membrane technology, which the company has been test-bedding at the Bedok NEWater Factory since August 2004. Compared to the 8-inch system, the 16-inch reverse osmosis membrane takes up 25% less space and saves up to 15% in annual operating costs. PUB says it will adopt this new technology at its Bedok NEWater plant, making PUB a world first in using the 16-inch reverse osmosis membranes in water reclamation.
