Singapore Selects Nitto To Provide RO Membranes For Its Water Desalination Plant

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- Singapore has selected Nitto Denko Corporation (Nitto) to provide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to its first dual-mode desalination plant -- Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant (KMEDP). Currently, Singapore's water supply is coming from four sources including imported water from Malaysia, water from local catchments, wastewater reclamation (NEWater) and seawater desalination. KMEDP enable treatment of both seawater and freshwater to produce up to 137,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day. Shipping of the membranes is slated to begin this 2018 fiscal year to meet requirements for the plant's operational scheduled in 2020, a statement said. The plant will be constructed near the city center and its water treatment equipment will be located underground, topped off by a gently sloping green lawn as its roof. Nitto provides membrane technologies for water treatment and contributed to the establishment of the country's water supply infrastructure in collaboration with PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency. The company has developed a new product, ‘ESPA2-LD MAX’ to enable both energy efficiency and high water production by maximizing an RO element's membrane with aims to add more RO product to accommodate customers’ needs.
