Ceramic MBR Plant Awarded Industrial Water Project of the Year

Singapore's Ceramic MBR Plant awarded Industrial Water Project of the Year at Global Water Awards 2015

-PUB, Singapore's national water agency and MEIDEN SINGAPORE (MSL) announced that the Ceramic MBR plant, coupled with an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB), has been awarded the Industrial Water Project of the Year at 2015 Global Water Awards.

The 2015 Global Water Awards was presented by José Manuel Barroso, the 11th President of the European Commission (2004-2014) and the Prime Minister of Portugal from 2002-2004 in Athens, Greece.

This plant with a capacity of one million gallons (ie 4,550 cubic meters) is sited at PUB's Jurong Water Reclamation Plant in Singapore. This plant is constructed and operated by Meiden Singapore which treats and recycles industrial used water in a more energy-efficient and cost-effective manner.

The reclamation of industrial used water has conventionally been considered challenging because of the high organic loading in industrial used water. The combined use of UASB and MBR technologies can achieve a consistent, high-quality output of recycled water. As a pretreatment system, the USAB can remove organic contaminants efficiently while the downstream Ceramic MBR can produce a higher yield and more consistent water quality.

The biogas generation from UASB can also be utilized for in-house power generation. This project was supported with grant from the Technology Pioneer (TechPioneer) Scheme, which is administered by Singapore's Environment and Water Industry Programme Office (EWI). Each year, the coveted Global Water Awards are presented at the Global Water Summit, the major business conference for the water industry worldwide. The Awards acknowledge the most important achievements in the international water industry within several categories.
