Hyflux secures waste-to-energy project from Singapore's NEA
HYFLUX, together with its consortium partner Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has been named the preferred bidder by Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) to develop a waste-to-energy (WTE) plant in Tuas under a Design-Build-Own-Operate scheme and to provide waste treatment services exclusively to NEA for a period of 25 years.
The project, valued at an estimated S$750 million, is expected to be completed by 2019. Hyflux and MHI will respectively hold 75 per cent and 25 per cent stakes in the project company. Hyflux will undertake engineering, procurement and construction works worth S$636 million while MHI will provide the technology. In addition, Hyflux and MHI will jointly manage, operate and maintain the WTE plant over the concession period.
The new WTE plant, Singapore's sixth, will be able to process 3,600 tonnes of waste per day and generate 120MW of clean and renewable electricity. It will have one of the best land utilisation factors in terms of incineration capacity per unit floor area and will also be one of the world's most efficient in terms of energy recovery per unit waste incinerated.
The WTE plant will be situated on a 4.8-hectare site next to the Tuaspring Integrated Water and Power Project, a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant with a designed capacity of 318,500 cubic metres per day and a co-located combined-cycle gas turbine power plant of 411MW that was also developed by Hyflux.
