Creating new water sources in

Kuwait

375,000 m3/day producedfor irrigation

Frees up fresh water forhuman consumption

Worlds largest membrane

based wastewater filtrationproject

Challenge: Insufficient quality water for irrigation and human consumptionSolution: Purify wastewater for irrigation, use fresh water for drinking

Sulaibiya plant - Kuwait City

Harvesting wastewater from sewers

Australias first commercialsewer mining water reuse plant

Conserves 100,000 m3 /yr ofAustralias fresh water

Advanced Membrane

Bioreactor technology

Challenge: Ongoing drought challenged availability of water for golfcourseSolution: Sewer mining water reuse plant provides irrigation water

We are proud to be the first to embrace this innovative approach. It isbringing us a drought-proof supply of water that minimizes impact onAustralias fresh water reserves.

Creating NEWater in Singapore

Transforming wastewater intoindustrial and potable water

Electronics industry, waferfabrication plants, andcommercial cooling towers

Released back into localreservoirs for indirect potablereuse applications

Challenge: Inadequate supplies of renewable fresh waterSolution: Treat and reuse wastewater effluent for local industry

Bedok NEWater Factory

Insufficient water to expand output

Thermal solution produces14,000 m3/day of reuse

water Water used for cooling and

fire fighting

Replaced previously potablewater application

Challenge: Water scarcity prevented plant expansionSolution: Water reuse solution met demand and enabled expansion
