자일럼(Xylem)이 싱가포르 대규모 지자체 물재생시설에 UV 살균 솔루션을 제공하는 50만 달러 이상의 계약을 체결했다. 이번 두 번째 창이(Changi) 물재생 플랜트에는 정밀여과(MF), 역삼투(RO), 자일럼의 ‘Wedeco Spektron 2000e UV 살균 시스템’을 포함될 예정이며, 이는 ‘NEWater’ 연구로 잘 알려진 싱가포르 물재생 연구의 계획이다.

NEWater는 고도 멤브레인 기술 및 UV 살균을 통해 정화하는 방식으로 폐수(사용수)를 처리해 만든 고품질의 재생수이다. 자일럼의 Wedeco UV 살균 솔루션을 포함하는 이번 대규모 처리를 통해 창이시의 산업부문 및 동부 마을들은 하루 5천만 갤런(22만8천㎥)의 추가 재생수를 공급받을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

 

 

 

Water technology company Xylem has been awarded a contract worth more than $500,000 to supply ultraviolet (UV) disinfection solutions to a major municipal water reclamation facility in Singapore.

 

The second Changi Water Reclamation Plant will include microfiltration, reverse osmosis and Xylem’s Wedeco Spektron 2000e UV disinfection system and is an initiative of the Singapore Water Reclamation Study, also known as the NEWater Study.

 

NEWater is high-grade reclaimed water produced from treated used water that is further purified using advanced membrane technologies and ultra-violet disinfection.

 

As a result of the extensive treatment including Xylem’s Wedeco UV disinfection solution, the city’s industrial sector and communities living in the east of the city will benefit from an additional 228,000 tons (50 million gallons) of reclaimed water per day.

 

Currently up to 30% of Singapore’s water needs are met by reused water, with a target of 55% by 2060.

The second Changi Water Reclamation Plant will be operational in 2016.

 

Johnson Tang, managing director, UESH Holdings Pte Ltd, the company responsible for constructing the new facility, said, “This second Changi water reclamation plant is another important step toward Singapore securing the majority of its water needs from reused water. Xylem’s Wedeco Spektron 2000e UV system delivered on the project requirements for a sustainable and efficient wastewater disinfection option with a low life cycle cost.”

 

Xylem’s Wedeco Spektron 2000e UV disinfection systems feature 600 watt Ecoray UV lamp technology, reducing lamp count by 60%, minimising maintenance and lowering energy costs.
