Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can potentially spread through the drinking water system, from source to drinking water treatment plants and even to the tap. The presence of ARB and ARGs through this route could cause health risks to human. Continuous exposure to high levels of antibiotics is suggested to be

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and subjected to a variety of natural processes…

In Singapore, more than 50% of the water demand is used by the industry and this proportion is expected to reach 70% by 2060. In this project, new advanced oxidation technologies are being developed to deal with this specific kind of wastewater characterized by high organic load and toxicity.            

This project “Achieving Low COD in Industrial Treated Effluent Through Combination of AOPs and Biological Processes” aims to develop cost-effective AOP-biological systems for treating industrial wastewater with the aims of: 1. Meeting stringent COD discharge standard of 50 mg/L 2. Producing good quality treated

Effluents from pharmaceutical industries are generally characterised by high COD and TDS and contain copious amounts of refractory organic solvents that contribute significantly to the overall organic concentrations. The project aims to provide a comprehensive solution for treating organic wastewater from the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Specifically, it is to develop a cost-effective process

This research project aims to fill the gap in disinfectant degradation monitoring and control within Singapore’s treated water distribution system by integrating various real-time water quality sensors, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, hydraulic and chemical kinetics models to better control/predict the treated water quality and the operation system. Chlorine decay experiment has been

Water disinfection is essential to our daily lives and industries, especially aquaculture. Insufficient water disinfection may lead to disease outbreak and cause tremendous economic loss. Every year global aquaculture loss due to disease outbreak is estimated to be 13 billion Singapore dollar. As a result, UV is widely adopted in aquaculture for water disinfection. However,

The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city (SSTEC) is a collaborative project between the governments of China and Singapore to jointly develop a model for sustainable cities. The Tianjin Eco-city will be served as a role model to support China’s urbanization. Key feature of Tianjin Eco-city is its focus on environmental protection, resource and energy conservation and sustainable
