HYFLUX will build Singapore's second and largest desalination
plant, said national water agency PUB.
At a first-year price of $0.45 per cubic metre, Hyflux offers
the most competitive tariff for the supply of desalinated water
over a 25-year period from 2013 to 2038.
The plant is expected to commence operations in 2013 and will
add another 318,500 cubic metres of desalinated water per day to
Singapore's water supply. This will enhance the drought resilience
of Singapore's water supply and ensure reliability for Singapore's
water users.
Hyflux will use membrane technology in the proposed plant and
generate its own power on-site for the desalting process. All
excess power will be sold to the power grid.
The open tender attracted a total of nine bids.
