SUEZ, a global leader in circular water and waste management solutions, unveiled three new projects in Asia during the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), showcasing its innovative approach to water management in both municipal and industrial domains.
Centered on digital solutions, seawater desalination, and water reuse, these collaborations in Singapore, China, and the Philippines exemplify SUEZ’s dedication to tackling critical water challenges by empowering communities to adapt to climate impacts with enhanced resilience. This is accomplished through strategic partnerships and circular solutions.
Providing Singapore’s National Water Agency with an innovative Smart Water Grid Analytics Platform
SUEZ was awarded a new contract by Singapore’s national water authority, PUB, to deploy and maintain a Smart Water Grid Analytics Platform for its water supply network. Leveraging SUEZ’s AQUADVANCED® Water Networks platform, this advanced system will contribute to strengthening PUB’s operational efficiency and resilience.
The Smart Water Grid Analytics Platform can detect and pinpoint water quality and pressure issues within the network. It can generate accurate simulations and propose necessary remedial actions to support more effective decision-making.
With this new system, PUB will gain enhanced visibility of network conditions and advanced analytics capabilities to simulate and anticipate challenges. This will enable PUB to formulate a more comprehensive network management strategy, further optimizing its operations and minimizing inconvenience to its customers.
A desalination plant in the Iloilo region to remedy the water shortage
SUEZ and JEMCO, a leading construction company in the Philippines, are partnering to design, build, and operate a large-scale seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant in Metro Iloilo to address the region’s critical drinking water shortage.
Commissioned by Metro Pacific Investment Corporation, the plant is poised to become the largest of its kind in the Philippines, capable of producing around 66,500 cubic metres of water daily to supply drinking water to nearly 50,000 households and meet the industrial water needs of a nearby power plant.
This project marks another successful collaboration between SUEZ and JEMCO, following their joint venture on a major water reclamation facility in Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila.
Designed for efficiency by implementing SUEZ’s advanced SeaDAF™ Filter technology, the compact plant is expected to be completed within 24 months from the start of construction.
Promoting zero liquid discharge and water recycling in Jining Industrial Park
In China, following the successful Qufu municipal wastewater treatment project in Shandong Province, SUEZ and Shandong Public are expanding their partnership to invest, build, and operate an industrial wastewater treatment plant in the Jining New Materials Industrial Park through a new joint venture.
With a daily capacity of 10,000 cubic metres, the project has been awarded a 30-year concession and will transform high-salinity wastewater into industrial water to supply companies within the park, aiming to achieve 100% wastewater recycling.
To support the park’s ambition of green, low-carbon, and high-quality development as one of the top 20 chemical industrial parks in China, this project will deliver significant environmental benefits.
The new wastewater treatment plant will be able to produce approximately 3.6 million cubic metres of alternative water per year – equivalent to the volume of around 1,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Additionally, 85% of the crystallised salt products from the high-salinity wastewater can be recycled for the production of sodium sulfate through the treatment process.
