This slide presentation outlines information on Singapore's 1st Municipal Desalination Plant. It is theworld's second largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant, theworld's only SWRO plant of this scale to usein-filter dissolved air flotation (DAF), theworld's largest in-filter DAF, theworld's most cost efficient desalination plant, and it isone of the lowest specific energy consumption desalination plants. Singapore is considered a water stressed nation and is considering a holistic approach to managing the water cyclein Singapore and diversifying sources. The focus of this presentation is on Singapore's efforts to to meet 10% demand using seawaterdesalination and using a Public Private Partnership that would: encourage the private sector toparticipate in non-core services;allow private sector innovation (i.e.,private sector can select most cost effectivetechnology, site, procure or generate energy,etc.); and,optimize capital and operating costs incompetitive bidding environment. Specific topics outlined of the Tuas Desalination Plant include: process alternatives; intakes; pretreatment; in-filter DAF; process schematic; 1st and 2nd pass reverse osmosis (RO); energy consumption; flow balance overview; post-treatment; and, waste disposal.
