called Singspring..funny name. anyway,it is the first public-private patnership programme.. able to provide 30 million gallons of water a day(130000 cubic metres)
In September 2005, Singapore turned on its fourth National Tap, with the opening of the SingSpring Desalination Plant in Tuas. The SingSpring desalination plant was PUB’s first public-private partnership (PPP) project. This plant can produce 30 million gallons of water a day (136, 000 cubic meters) and is one of the region’s largest seawater reverse-osmosis plants.
Like its predecessor NEWater, desalinated water is the result of PUB's continued investments in water technologies and research. Recent advancements in technology and cheaper membrane prices have made desalinated water another viable source of water supply for Singapore.
At the SingSpring plant, sea water goes through a pre-treatment process where suspended particles are removed. In the second stage, the water undergoes reverse osmosis (RO). This is the same technology used in the production of NEWater. The water produced is very pure and is remineralised in the third stage. After treatment, desalinated water is blended with treated water before it is supplied to homes and industries in the western part of Singapore.

singapore carries out the desalination of sea water supply.A desalination plant was started in tuas in 2005.although the cost of building and operating this plant is high, it will supply up to 10%of the nation's demand.this plant uses the reverse osomosis method, which is to that used in the production of reclaimed water

Increased water conservation and water use efficiency remain the most cost effective priority for supplying water.[26] While comparing ocean water desalination to waste water reclamation for drinking water shows desalination as the first option, using reclamation for irrigation and industrial use provides multiple benefits.[27] Urban runoff and storm water capture also provide multiple benefits in treating, restoring and recharging groundwater.[28] An emerging alternative to desalinization in the State of California and other areas in the American southwest is the commercial importation of bulk water either by very large crude carriers converted to water carriers or pipelines. The idea is presently politically unpopular in Canada where governments have been scrambling to impose trade barriers to bulk water exports as a result of a claim filed in 1999 under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) by Sun Belt Water Inc. a company established in 1990 in Santa Barbara, California, to address pressing local needs due to a severe drought in that area.

hi
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeleteHi everyone :)
ReplyDeletehello :]
ReplyDeletewhat to do.....
ReplyDeleteNow do what? Talk about the geography thing.
ReplyDeleteeh... hi
ReplyDeletemust be serious... :)
ReplyDeleteusing desalinated water is much cheaper than using NEWater, because of the hceaper membrane prices :)
Desalinated water is Singapore's 4th National tap.

ReplyDeleteApperently,, this desalination thing was opened at september 2005
ReplyDeleteGreat what else
ReplyDeleteHey. Talk people. :0
ReplyDeleteyee ting you meant CHEAPER
ReplyDeleteOOI KENZO
ReplyDeletethere is an opening of the Singspring Desalination Plant at Tuas...
ReplyDeletewant to go visit???... lol... joking :P
who the hell is Mary Alexander Lim?
ReplyDeleteya lah... anonymous. who r u???
ReplyDeleteHIGH!
ReplyDeletecalled Singspring..funny name. anyway,it is the first public-private patnership programme..
ReplyDeleteable to provide 30 million gallons of water a day(130000 cubic metres)
water is cool! like me
ReplyDeletewhat the hell are we supposed to do
ReplyDeletehi.
ReplyDeletebut using desalinated water needs a lot of processes, unless we are able to drink salty water... lol...
ReplyDeletequite a lot for a day...right? if yes, shouldn it be an advantage?

whiteken? water is not cool. It is just clean, healthy for drinking, swimming, and ya, let's better answer the question. Miss Chin Angry le.

ReplyDeleteyeah isnt that whole thing the info about the desalination
ReplyDeleteI Don't know. Still got what advantages??? Cause i basically can't think of one. But what type of water are we using?
ReplyDeletei think desalination is more convenient..isn singpapore surrounded by nth but water?
ReplyDeleteGideon, we are supposed to talk here about wad u noe for destilation.

ReplyDeleteWe are using seawater right?
disadvantage is high cost
ReplyDeleteI think we can bath using saltwater.

ReplyDeletehigh cost? But it is MUUUCHHHHH cheaper than NEWater(the membranes damn ex)
ReplyDeleteBy using destilation, we can sort of clean the water, remove salt from it and to purify it. So that the water is fit for drinking.
ReplyDeletebut need to heat up the water to a damn hight temperature
ReplyDeleteso what are the differences between using desalinated water and NEWAter?
ReplyDelete= =
ReplyDeleteSaltwater(Or you mean seawater) may contain bacterias and other substances that are harmful to the body.
And yeah, the cost for desalination is really high.
ANyway, now sea level rising..more water to desalinate=D
ReplyDeleteoo. Now sea level rising that means there will be more desalinated water, which means MORE WATER to USE!!! But cannot waste water.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, which type of water you all like? i prefer desalinated water, because drinking NEWater like very weird. Very distilled.
