SingSpring is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyflux Ltd specialising in water treatment. They are trying to develop a desalination plant to supply potable water to PUB. The proposed plant is to produce fresh water from seawater using the reverse osmosis process. 

​

The scope of work for this study is to conduct a discharge dispersion study to predict the dispersion and mixing of a brine plume in the coastal waters around the area. The study was performed on a stipulated configuration of a submerged outfall and seawater intake and the corresponding flow rates, with a pre-determined land mass boundary specified by SingSpring.

​

The Pollution Control Study will specifically involve:

​​

• Identifying sources of emission of air pollutants, discharge of trade effluent, generation of waste and emission of noise,

​

• Quantifying and evaluating the impacts of such pollutive emissions,

​

• Recommending the measures to be incorporated in the design and operation of the plant to reduce the pollutive emissions to acceptable levels that would not pose a nuisance or harm to the people and the environment, and

​

• Recommending a monitoring program to review the effectiveness of implemented mitigation measures on a regular basis.
