New facilities to boost waste treatment and
maximize energy and resource recovery
DALLAS, April 6,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was appointed by
PUB, Singapore's National Water
Agency, to provide professional engineering services for the
development of the new greasy waste (GWTF) and food waste treatment
facilities (FWTF) to maximize energy and resource recovery at the
Changi Water Reclamation Plant (CWRP).
To be co-located with the CWRP, the new facilities will boost
Singapore's waste treatment
capabilities while harnessing synergies from co-digesting greasy
waste, food waste and used water sludge – a by-product of the water
reclamation process – to increase biogas yield. The additional
biogas can be used for electricity generation to power CWRP,
thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
Jacobs will provide preliminary and detailed design and engineering
services for the new GWTF, as well as site supervision during
construction, testing and commissioning of the project. Jacobs will
also conduct the preliminary design study for the FWTF and will
review additional modification works to the existing facilities at
CWRP to support the co-digestion process.
"With the addition of treatment facilities at Changi and also
Tuas, Singapore's greasy waste
treatment capacity is expected to double by 2025," said Jacobs Asia
Pacific & Middle East Senior Vice President and General Manager
Keith Lawson. "The project will meet
the nation's long-term needs and help decarbonize the water
treatment process. We're excited to continue our partnership with
PUB in delivering forward-looking technologies that bring climate
response to the forefront of the water treatment process. And in
the process, we are combining our knowledge, experience and lessons
learned from both CWRP and Tuas Water Reclamation Plant to deliver
the best outcome on this project."
When completed, the GWTF will treat up to 12,000 cubic meters of
waste a month – the equivalent of over 75,000 barrels of oil
product.
"By co-locating both waste treatment facilities with CWRP, PUB
will be able to reap the synergies from processing both types of
waste with used water sludge. This will boost PUB's quest to
enhance water sustainability and contribute to a low-carbon
future," said PUB Water Reclamation (Plants) Department Director
Mr. Ooi Kian Eng.
