technology ready for full-scale testing
Having set a new energy saving benchmark for seawater desalination, Siemens is now
poised to transition their ground-breaking technology to the product development phase.
As a result of an R&D initiative that commenced in October 2008, a demonstration plant was
built in Singapore to treat seawater to drinking water quality. The results, which will be
presented at Singapore International Water Week, show that the new process reduces
desalting energy by over 50% compared to best available technology. The next step for
Siemens is to set up a full-scale system in cooperation with Singapore’s national water
agency PUB by 2013.
