싱가포르 수자원공사인 PUB는 마리나 이스트(Marina East)에 위치하게 될 네 번째 담수화 프로젝트 구축을 위한 입찰을 모집, 담수화 공급량을 추가하려는 노력을 기울이고 있다.

이번 프로젝트는 DBOO(design-build-own-operate) 계약 하에 하루 13만6천㎥ 규모의 플랜트를 시공하는 것으로, 싱가포르 해협의 해수와 마리나 저수지의 원수 2종류의 수자원을 처리할 예정이다.

 

 

 

Singapore utility PUB is adding to its desalination supply after calling for a tender to build a fourth project at Marina East.

 

To be delivered under a design-build-own-operate arrangement, the 136,000 m3/day plant will treat two different sources of water: seawater from the Singapore Straits or raw water from the Marina Reservoir.

 

Black & Veatch was appointed earlier in the year (read WWi story) to provide consultancy services on the development, having also worked on Hyflux’s SingSpring project back in 2005.

 

Singapore currently has two desalination plants, meeting 25% of current water demand and has a third plant at Tuas is expected to be completed by 2017.

 

By 2060, desalinated water is expected to provide up to 85 percent of Singapore’s water needs.

 

William Yeo, director of policy and planning at PUB, said: “Increasing desalination capacity will further strengthen our water security and boost the drought resilience of Singapore’s water supply. Like NEWater, desalinated water is independent of rainwater and can be used to supplement our other water sources during dry weather.”

 

It was in September last year when the announcement was made for the country’s fourth desalination plant.
