06-30-2010: Kemira starts a research and development cooperation with the Singapore Membrane Technology Centre at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) that aims to enhance used water treatment and purification. The goal of the 2-year project is to design a more efficient water production process with a higher recovery rate, lower energy consumption and less waste volume.
"Today, water production from used water is an energy and water intensive process. Kemira will develop together with Nanyang Technological University an improved used water reclamation process with higher recovery rates. By contributing our vast experience in water treatment chemistry, we aim to work with NTU to produce more clean and usable water with less energy and waste. This R&D cooperation is designed to support Kemira's Center of Water Efficiency Excellence launched in March 2010," explains Kaj Jansson, Vice President, R&D and Technology, Kemira Oyj.
In 2006, the government identified the Environment and Water industry as a strategic key growth area for Singapore and committed S$ 330 million to develop Singapore as a Global Hydrohub. Mr. Goh Chee Kiong, Director (Cleantech), EDB and concurrently Director (Cluster Development), EWI, said, "We are pleased with Kemira's R&D project in collaboration with the Singapore Membrane Technology Centre. Today Singapore is recognised as a Global Hydrohub, with over 70 water companies operating regional headquarters, manufacturing and R&D activities here. Kemira's new investment will strengthen this ecosystem, and also help accelerate the commercialisation of our public research investments."
