Desalinated Water   

Officially opened in 2013, Tuas South Desalination Plant (formerly Tuaspring Desalination Plant) is the largest desalination plant in Singapore. Tuas South Desalination Plant came under PUB’s ownership in 2019. It uses advanced desalination technology namely ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.



Here’s how the treatment process works:

Officially opened in 2018, Tuas Desalination Plant is Singapore’s first desalination plant to use advanced pre-treatment technology that combines dissolved air-flotation and ultrafiltration, which reduces membrane fouling when treating seawater and enhances operational efficiency.



It is also Singapore’s first desalination plant to be fitted with solar panels – more than half its roof space is covered with panels that can generate enough electricity to power over 300 HDB four-room flats annually.

It was conferred "Desalination Plant of the Year" at the Global Water Awards 2019.

Here’s how the treatment process works:

Officially opened in 2020, the Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant is Singapore’s first dual-mode desalination plant with capability to treat either seawater during dry weather or freshwater drawn from the Marina Reservoir during rainy weather. The plant achieves multiple land use with treatment facilities located underground, and green roof integrated with public open space for community recreation.

It was conferred "Desalination Plant of the Year" at the Global Water Awards 2021.

The Jurong Island Desalination Plant was officially opened in April 2022. Its co-location with Tuas Power’s Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex (TMUC) allows it to derive synergies in resources such as seawater-intake and energy, making it about 5% more energy-efficient than conventional desalination plants.
