Supplying water to industrial clusters
Water is a key resource that supports the growth of our industries. A large portion of non-domestic demand is concentrated in industrial clusters such as Jurong Island.
There is potential to develop localised sources to meet these needs, through measures such as process water recycling and desalination. In these clusters, there are also opportunities to recover heat for water production.
A promising example is membrane distillation, which taps low-grade steam or waste heat from power stations, incineration plants or industrial processes to supplement the energy requirements for desalination.
