BRACKISH
Use of Underground Brackish Water
This project centres on an oil palm refinery, specialising in processing crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality refined palm oil for food and industrial applications. As part of a broader sustainability initiative, the refinery has implemented a strategic water management system that innovatively utilises underground brackish water as an alternative source. This forward-thinking approach aims to significantly reduce dependence on freshwater resources while seamlessly maintaining operational efficiency and product quality.
Application
The treated brackish water is primarily utilised as process make-up water in several key operations within the oil palm refinery:
- Sterilization of fresh fruit bunches using high-pressure steam
- Digestion and separation of oil from fruit fibers
- Washing of pressed fibers and kernels
- Cooling systems for oil clarification and machinery
- Boiler feedwater after advanced desalination and softening

DESALINATION
Seawater Desalination for Water Security
The desalination plant plays a pivotal role in mitigating the freshwater scarcity affecting the island community. By efficiently converting abundant seawater into safe, potable water, the facility ensures a sustainable, climate-resilient, and continuous supply essential for both residential and commercial needs.
Application
The desalinated water is primarily utilised in residential and hospitality operations on the island, encompassing:
- Drinking and cooking water for households
- Sanitation and hygiene facilities (showers, toilets, handwashing)
- Resort operations such as laundry, kitchen use, and food preparation
- Landscaping and irrigation for resort grounds and public green spaces

GLOVES
Reuse of Treated Effluent Discharge
The project highlights a nitrile-based rubber glove factory’s commitment to sustainability through a new water reclamation initiative. By treating and reusing its effluent discharge, the factory is meeting global environmental goals and overcoming operational challenges.
Application
The primary application of the reclaimed water is for use as process make-up water in key manufacturing operations such as:
- Rinsing and leaching of gloves to remove proteins and residual chemicals
- Cooling tower supply for temperature control during production
- Part washing and equipment cleaning
- Clean-in-place (CIP) systems for hygiene maintenance
- Steam generation for curing ovens

POULTRY
Reuse of Treated Effluent Discharge
The project centres on a poultry processing plant, specialising in the slaughtering, cleaning, and packaging of poultry products. The facility has initiated a water reclamation programme designed to treat and reuse its effluent discharge from the existing wastewater treatment system. This move underscores the plant’s commitment to sustainable operations and efficient resource management.
Application
The primary application of the reclaimed water is for washing and cleaning processes within the poultry plant. In poultry processing, water is extensively used for tasks such as:
- Washing carcasses and internal organs
- Cleaning processing equipment and conveyors
- Sanitizing floors, walls, and workstations
- Pre-rinse operations before chemical cleaning
Plant Capacity

PULP & PAPER
Use of Treated Lake Water in Paper Production
This project centres on a paper manufacturing plant that produces paper. To support sustainable water management and reduce its dependence on potable freshwater sources, the facility has implemented a strategic initiative by withdrawing and treating water from a nearby lake for direct use in its production processes.
Application
Treated lake water is primarily utilised as process make-up water across various stages of the paper manufacturing process, including:
- Pulp dilution and fiber processing
- Machine washing and roll cleaning
- Cooling systems for machinery and equipment
- Steam generation for drying cylinders
Plant Capacity
1,500 m3/day.

SEMICONDUCTORS
Reuse of Treated Effluent Discharge
This project focuses on a semiconductor manufacturing facility that fabricates integrated circuits and microchips. To align with global sustainability goals and meet the industry’s exceptionally high-water demands, the plant has launched a significant water reclamation initiative. This programme is designed to treat and reuse its effluent discharge from the existing wastewater treatment system, transforming it into a feedwater source for ultra-pure water (UPW) production.
Application
The primary application of this reclaimed water is its use in the ultra-pure water (UPW) generation system, which then supplies the water essential for the facility’s highly sensitive manufacturing processes, such as:
- Wafer cleaning and etching
- Chemical dilution and rinsing
- Photolithography processes
- Equipment cooling and facility support systems
