DALLAS, Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs
(NYSE:JEC) announced it has successfully completed the testing and
commissioning of a new, state-of-the-art Ceramic Membrane – Ozone –
Biological Activated Carbon plant at the Choa Chu Kang Waterworks
(CCKWW) for PUB, Singapore's
National Water Agency.
Working closely with PUB, Jacobs carried out
the preliminary design, detailed design, preparation and award
of tenders, construction supervision, contract management, testing
and commissioning of the plant. The project upgrades the existing
360 million litres per day (80 million U.K. gallons per day)
waterworks through the addition of new ceramic membrane filters, an
ozone system and biological activated carbon contactors. These
improvements enhance both the lifespan and robustness of the
treatment process allowing the plant to process a wider range of
water quality fluctuations.
"New and innovative approaches to water management are key to
conserving our finite water resources for the long term," said
Buildings and Infrastructure Asia Pacific and Middle East Senior
Vice President and General Manager Patrick
Hill. "We're pleased to have partnered with PUB on this
project, helping to address Singapore's water treatment challenges through
the application of innovative technology."
CCKWW is one of the largest full-scale waterworks to use ceramic
membranes globally and is the first in Singapore to achieve the benefits of
integrating these membranes with ozonation and biologically
activated carbon contactors. The plant upgrades will serve PUB well
into the future, helping to overcome emerging raw water challenges
due to increasing urbanization.
Jacobs has been delivering water and wastewater projects with
PUB for more than 20 years. Notable projects include Changi Water
Reclamation Plant, Kallang River-Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park and Tuas
Desalination Plant.
