Keppel Infrastructure has signed agreements with subsidiaries of Keppel Infrastructure Fund Management (KIFM), the trustee-manager of Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT), to advance the development of low-carbon water solutions.
These research activities will be undertaken and piloted at three KIT-owned facilities: SingSpring Desalination Plant, Ulu Pandan NEWater Plant and Keppel Infrastructure's recently completed Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant.
The parties will explore the sequestration and utilization of carbon, in combination with the capture and utilization of hydrogen from seawater. The pilot project will investigate the potential enhancement of electrochemical processes used in water treatment, where byproducts such as chlorine and precipitates can be respectively reused for water disinfection and to produce green construction material. The softened seawater can then be desalinated using less energy and chemicals. The parties will also explore technologies
