ITT Corp and PUB, Singapore's national water agency, are setting up a joint research and technology testing program for energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment solutions, including pumps.doi:10.1016/S1359-6128(10)70302-5Elsevier BVPump Industry Analyst...
PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency has awarded ABB a contract worth around $30M (S$40.5M) to deliver a complete site-wide plant monitoring and control system for the Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (WRP). With a 30 percent more compact footprint than conventional plants, the Tuas WRP is...
Desalination requires lots of energy — one reason it is not more widely used around the world. But greater use of renewable energy mean PUB thinks it can halve its desalination power needs and make sure more of the energy is clean. Today, the possibility that Sing...
Singapore’s National Water Agency, PUB, officially opened the newly upgraded Choa Chu Kang Waterworks (CCKWW) that houses the largest ceramic membrane system in the world. This ceramic membrane technology, CeraMac®, was developed by PWNT, subsidiary of the Dutch PWN drinking water comp...
(similar to a direct potable reuse scheme). This decentralized approach offers the potential to substantially decrease water demand on the central supply by up to 90–95%. However, regulatory constraints on potable grey water usage must be addressed to fully realize this potential and alleviate ...
From a practical standpoint, very good examples of leading-edge utility practice can be found in Asia (e.g., Singapore PUB), and in Central and Northern Europe, such as in the Netherlands (e.g. PWN - North Holland), Germany (e.g. Munich, Berlin), Norway (e.g. ...
PUB has rallied households to conserve water. By 2023, it plans to have installed some 300,000 smart water meters in homes; they will use digital technologies to monitor usage and flag leaks. But the country is also rapidly accelerating efforts to expand on its own water sources. PUB has ...
and an ability to shape water usage behaviour, Biswas said: “Such network visibility enables companies to bring NRW [non‑revenue water, or wastage] down to 5%; most municipalities are in the double digits. Digital also enables a ramp‑up in production efficiency with total asset visibility...
Singapore’s National Water Agency, PUB, will roll out 300,000+ smart water meters between 2021-2023 as part of a wider water reduction project.
ecosystems, and more frequent droughts and floods, will require a more integrated and longer-term approach to water management. This is in essence what water resource management is about: bringing together multiple organisations, across different disciplines, to plan for future water usage holistically...
