Congratulations to Professor Wang Rong, Associate Professor Zhou Yan and Associate Professor Chong Tzyy Haur on the award of Singapore - China Joint Flagship Project
Project Title: State-of-the-art nanofiltration membranes with advanced bioprocesses for next-generation wastewater management, water reclamation and resources recovery
PI: Wang Rong
Co-PIs: Zhou Yan and Chong Tzyy Haur
Approved Grant Amount: $ 2,990,936.00
Approved Grant Duration: 3 years, commencing on 1 July 2023
Brief description
Cutting-edge technologies are key enablers of Singapore’s sustainable water management and sanitation. This project will address our needs for a weather resilient urban water management, targeting especially at our industrial and municipal wastewaters and finding solutions on how we can strengthen our current capacity to meet future demands for wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
Our strategy amalgamates state-of-the-art membrane technology with advanced biological processes – anaerobic ammonia oxidizing (Anammox) process coupled with Fe3+ reduction (Feammox) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) – to realize more holistic, cost-competitive and energy-efficient wastewater treatment systems. To unlock this potential, the core technology is centered on the development of novel chemically resistant membranes, which will facilitate proof-of-concept of a new Feammox process for industrial wastewaters, and enable high technological readiness level demonstration of an enhanced MBR technology for municipal wastewater reclamation.
