Singapore Fielding Pitches for Water Treatment Technology
Singapore has prompted for pitches from the city-state’s tech industry to aid in water treatment processes and operations, hoping to ensure long-term water sustainability. The money cap for the grants will be near $22.6 million.
PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, put forth the announcement on Jan. 15, 2018., which involved three Requests for Proposals (RFP).
Water demand in Singapore will likely double by 2060, and PUB hopes the technological offerings made for these will push the city-state towards greater levels of energy efficiency to account for a growing share of water use in the non-domestic sector.
Of the three RFPs, the first will specifically target technology to enhance energy efficiency of water and used water treatment processes. The second calls for technology that will enhance water efficiency for industrial purposes through recycling or reduction of water consumption. The third calls for the optimization of operational efficiency.
