The desalination plant has commencedcommercial operations with effect from 29 June2020.Under the Design, Build, Own and Operate (DBOO)arrangement with National Water Agency PUB, Marina East WaterPte Ltd will undertake plant operations for a 25-year concessionperiod from 2020 to 2045. The Keppel Marina East DesalinationPlant is Singapore’s first large-scale, dual-mode desalination plantcapable of producing 137,000 cubic metres (about 30 milliongallons) of fresh drinking water per day. It is the second waterplant developed and operated by Keppel Infrastructure HoldingsPte Ltd. under the DBOO arrangement, the first being the KeppelSeghers Ulu Pandan NEWater Plant.The Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant’s location in MarinaEast gives it the ability to treat either seawater or freshwaterdrawn from the Marina Reservoir, depending on the prevailingweather conditions. This will strengthen Singapore’s water supplyresilience in the face of increasingly dry weather conditionscaused by climate change. In dry weather, the desalination plantwill draw water from the sea to produce desalinated water.When it rains, it will utilise rainwater collected in the reservoir toproduce potable water that requires less energy and fewer stepsin the treatment process compared to desalination.In a press statement, Chief Executive of PUB Mr Ng Joo Heesaid: “Seawater desalination is one of Singapore’s ‘four nationaltaps’. Unlike the other three taps – imports, rainfall and recycledwater – it is a practically limitless source. The ocean is almostinfinite. It is also weather-resistant and always available, rainor shine, as a source of life-giving water. The availability ofdesalination makes Singapore’s water supply immensely resilient.The desalination plant coming online will further strengthenSingapore’s water security.”“The Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant’s completion isalso eagerly awaited because it is such a special facility: a dualpurposedesalination plant in the middle of our city, integratedwith parkland, accessible to the public, and a beautiful piece ofarchitecture. I am certain it will become as iconic and as loved asMar-Apr 2021 | www.b-i.biz 35
