Memcor® CP Pressurised Ultrafiltration

Sembcorp NEWater Plant, Changi, Singapore
Selecting a Partner – Building for the Future Plant Details
Singapore’s population and industry are in a state of constant
growth and wastewater management and reclamation are Location Changi, Singapore
essential to ensuring a sustainable future. Access to water is
precious for this city-state, but there is also a substantial premium
Pressurised Memcor® CP

Ultrafiltration Membranes
When renowned plant design and operations firm Sembcorp
needed a trusted equipment and engineering solutions provider Chloraminated Municipal
Feed Source
to help complete a project for the Public Utilities Board (PUB), Secondary Effluent
Singapore’s national water agency, they turned to Memcor to
integrate membrane ultrafiltration into their NEWater Plant Pre-treatment to RO and UV for
design. Equipment weights and overall footprint were critical to Application high quality water for indirect
the design because the main components of the treatment potable re-use
system were to be built on the rooftop of the existing Changi
Water Reclamation Plant. The plant’s power consumption was Memcor 7 x 920L20 Memcor ® CP Low

Project Facts
• Market: Municipal
• Project: NEWater Reclamation Plant
• Location: Changi, Singapore
• Customer: Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd
• End-User: PUB, Singapore’s national water
agency
• Plant completion: Mid 2010.

The Sembcorp NEWater Plant has been
operating since 2010 and at the time of
commissioning was the second largest
wastewater reclamation plant in the world.
Memcor® CP System Process Benefits (continued)
The Memcor® CP system also operates at relatively low trans-
membrane pressure (TMP) across the membranes, helping to
reduce both the size and power consumption of feed pumps.
Furthermore, the Memcor ultrafiltration system typically does Membrane Solutions
not require chemical coagulant pre-treatment of the feed water,
which also reduces chemical costs and related disposal Memcor® membranes from DuPont Water
expenses. Solutions have helped municipalities and
industrial customers around the world to protect
A Reliable System That Delivers Results and improve the world’s most fundamental
natural resource – water.
The Sembcorp NEWater Plant was a Design, Build, Own,
