Kemira Oyj and PUB, Singapore's national water agency, have agreed to enter into
a strategic alliance to conduct research and development in water research.
Kemira and PUB will collaborate in the areas of raw water, used water, effluent
and sludge treatment. Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Kemira and
PUB will conduct applied research, share knowledge and build joint capabilities
that leverage one another's resources.
In June 2010 Kemira also started a research and development cooperation with the
Singapore Membrane Technology Centre at the NTU with the objective to enhance
used water treatment and purification. The goal of the project is to design a
more efficient water production process with a higher recovery rate, lower
energy consumption and less waste volume. These projects support Kemira's
strategy to grow profitably in the Asia-Pacific region.
"We are very pleased to start this strategic co-operation with PUB. Singapore is
recognized as the global hydrohub in terms of water technology and applications.
As one of the leading water chemistry companies Kemira is well placed to partner
PUB in the areas of advanced water treatment. Kemira's wide product portfolio of
chemistries caters to different water treatment applications for municipal and
industrial customers ranging from potable-, process- and effluent water to
sludge treatment" says Mr Kaj Jansson, Vice President, R&D and Technology,
Kemira Oyj.
"As part of the government's drive to grow Singapore into a hub for water
technologies, we actively seek research and development (R&D) investments and
encourage companies to make Singapore a global test-bed for new and emerging
technologies. The collaboration with Kemira will further boost Singapore's
global hydrohub aspirations and create a more vibrant R&D landscape here," said
Mr Harry Seah, PUB's director of technology and water quality.
