Sembcorp opens first industrial water reclamation plant in China

The S$21.5 million facility is capable of producing up to 20,000 cubic metres per day of industrial water.

Sembcorp opened its first industrial water reclamation plant in China capable of producing 20,000 cubic metres per day of industrial water and up to 4,000 cubic metres per day of demineralised water for supply to customers in the Zhangjiagang Free Trade Port Zone. The RMB106 million (S$21.5 million) facility has the unique capability of producing industrial water using treated effluent from Sembcorp’s centralised industrial wastewater treatment plant in the zone, thereby promoting water reuse and environmental conservation.

With this facility, Sembcorp’s total investment in the Zhangjiagang Free Trade Port Zone amounts to approximately RMB320 million (S$64.9 million). Sembcorp now manages the entire water cycle of the free trade port zone, providing total water and wastewater management solutions to its customers.

At the same time, Sembcorp’s industrial wastewater treatment facilities are capable of treating highly concentrated wastewater with chemical oxygen demand of up to 14,000 milligrammes per litre directly from source, without requiring its customers to invest in pre-treatment facilities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
