BUSINESS | Desalination & Water Reuse | 9 || PUB picks HSL Constructor for Singapore's third desalination plant HSL Constructor will build Singapore's third desalination plant in Tuas, the country's water supply agency, PUB, has announced. And PUB has awarded a consultancy services tender for a fourth desalination plant. PUB said that it selected HSL Constructor from an open tender that attracted eight bids. "At a tender price of S$ 217 million, (US$ 152 million) HSL Constructor offered the most competitive price for the design and construction of the plant," said PUB. The plant is expected to start operating in 2017 and will add another 136,000 m 3 /d, of production capacity to Singapore's water supply. Singapore currently has two desalination plants, the 136 Ml/d Singspring desalination facility, and the 318 Ml/d Tuaspring, south east Asia's largest. Desalinated water currently meets 25% of Singapore's water demand. With demand expected to grow, PUB intends to increase that capacity to continue to meet 25% of future water demand in 2060.

Management services company, Sweetwater Tech Resources (STR), selected Water Planet to supply its IMS- 5000 integrated produced water treatment system as part of a project to give oil and gas producers in the Bakersfiled region a reliable, economic and sustainable option for treating the billions of litres of oil-contaminated water they generate annually. "We believe STR has a great vision, and we look forward to being part of the team that delivers this first-of-a-kind regional treatment facility," said Water Planet's chief executive officer, Eric Hoek. Pilot demonstrations for oil and gas producers and potential customers of the treated water will begin in the first quarter of 2016. The planned facilities at sites in Wasco and Lost Hills will produce clean water for use by local industry and agriculture. At full capacity, the Wasco plant would recycle up to 3.2 Ml of produced water each day while the Lost HIlls facility would convert at 16 Ml/d. Sweetwater's general manager, Dundee Kelbel, said: "STR's experience, established relationships and core business development capabilities blend well with Water Planet's innovative, creative and flexible engineered systems to provide a powerful solution to the oil and gas industry." Water Planet's award-winning technology comprises a "unique" hydraulic design with a pre-integrated mechanical oil-water separator, ceramic ultrafiltration membranes and automated self- adaptive process controls.
