Retrofitting Singapore’s Jurong Water Reclamation Plant with Membrane Bioreactor – Minizing Energy Consumption through Selection of Unique Design Parameters

Paper presents the deisng considerations of the Jurong membrane bioreactor treatment facility in Singapore. The plant was designed retrofitting existing aeration basins with a membrane bioreactor to produce effluent which is suitable for reuse in industrial applications. Report outlines steps taken that are expected to reduce overall energy consumption of the plant by 15% compared to most conventional membrane bioreactors.
