\nConstruction works on the first phase of Tuas Nexus, Singapore\u2019s first integrated waste and water treatment facility has started, revealed the National Environment Agency (NEA) and PUB in a joint release on Tuesday (8 September).
\nExpected to be completed in phases from 2025, the facility is a co-location of two mega facilities \u2013 the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) and the Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (Tuas WRP) \u2013 that will \u201chelp forge a more sustainable Singapore by optimising land use, and maximising energy and resource recovery\u201d, said the release.
\nThe agencies noted that Tuas Nexus will be energy self-sufficient \u201cby harnessing synergies from Tuas WRP and IWMF\u201d.
\nThis would result in carbon savings of over 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide yearly, which is equivalent to taking 42,500 cars off the city-state\u2019s roads.
\nIntegrating both facilities will also result in up to 2.6ha of land savings \u2013 about the size of four football fields \u2013 as compared to constructing the two as standalone facilities.
\n\u201cWe are building Tuas Nexus because it is the smart thing to do, as the sum would be far greater than its two parts,\u201d said PUB Chief Executive Ng Joo Hee.
\n\u201cI believe the Tuas Nexus advances the state-of-the-art in sustainable urban waste management and resource recovery, and establishes a new international benchmark for the field.\u201d

\nPUB\u2019s answer to more effectively closing the water loop, the Tuas WRP will feature an initial treatment capacity of 800,000 cubic m per day, which is equivalent to 320 Olympic-sized swimming pools of water.

\n\u201cUnlike conventional water treatment plants, it is equipped to receive both domestic and industrial used water streams from two separate deep tunnels for treatment,\u201d said the release.
\nIn a first for the city-state, the Tuas WRP will also have the capability to treat industrial used water to a \u201csufficiently high standards\u201d for use by industries.
\nAside from incorporating advanced biological, physical and chemical treatment processes, it will also house the world\u2019s biggest membrane bioreactor facility.
\nIWMF, on the other hand, is the response plan of NEA to meeting the solid waste management needs of Singapore. The facility will boast state-of-the-art solid waste management technologies that will improve energy and resource recovery from waste.
\n\u201cIt is Singapore\u2019s first integrated facility to treat incinerable waste, source segregated food waste and dewatered sludge from Tuas WRP, as well as to sort household recyclables collected under the National Recycling Programme (NRP),\u201d according to the release.
\nAside from being Singapore\u2019s biggest waste incineration plant once completed, IWMF will also be \u201cthe most energy efficient yet and for the first time, integrate an operational food waste treatment facility and sludge incineration facility to achieve higher food waste recycling rate and greater synergy with WRP\u2019s operations\u201d.
\nThe automated Materials Recovery Facility of IWMF will also consolidate \u201call recyclables collected under the NRP to achieve greater economies of scale, higher sorting efficiencies and recovery yields for various recyclable waste streams such as metals, paper, and plastic\u201d, said NEA and PUB.
\n\u201cThis will help boost Singapore\u2019s overall recycling efforts and bring Singapore another step closer to realising its vision towards zero waste.\u201d
