The S$40 million wastewater treatment complex is the company’s second treatment plant and will have a capacity of 1,000 cubic meter per day – one of the largest in Singapore.

“The NSL OilChem Waste Management’s industrial wastewater treatment complex will be an important facility in Singapore’s growing chemicals industry where there is demand for increasingly challenging industrial wastewater treatment,” said Dr Low Chin Nam, Executive Director of NSL Ltd.

Located in Tuas, the wastewater treatment complex underscores the company’s commitment in Research and Development (R&D) capabilities to deploy state-of-the-art technology to address complex wastewater issues.

To meet the challenges of industrial wastewater management in a more effective manner, NSL OilChem Waste Management collaborates closely on the R&D front with the Nanyang Environmental and Water Resources Institute at Nanyang Technological University as well as other academic institutions.

With a robust R&D panel set to find innovative technologies to treat challenging trade effluents and a well-equipped laboratory that can conduct a range of treatability studies, NSL OilChem Waste Management is confident to tailor optimum and cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions that are in line with the Public Utilities Board (PUB)’s environmentally sustainable practices.

Dr Beh Swan Gin, Chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), was the Guest of Honour at the launch event.

“EDB welcomes the expansion of NSL OilChem Waste Management’s industrial wastewater treatment capacity in Singapore. Such facilities play an important role in our process manufacturing ecosystem, supporting customers from industries such as chemicals and pharmaceuticals. NSL is also an excellent example of a local company that is committed to the research and development of innovative water and wastewater treatment solutions as part of their growth strategy for the future,” said Dr Beh.
