ABB to power dual-mode water facility

The Design-Build-Own-Operate (DBOO) project, initiated by PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, will produce approximately 30 million gallons of fresh drinking water a day, enough to fill about 55 Olympic-sized swimming pools, when it is completed by 2020.

ABB will design, engineer, manufacture, install, test and commission the complete plant electrification, instrumentation and water analyzers, automation and control system. The scope of supply includes 66kV gas-insulated switchgears, power and distribution transformers, medium- and low-voltage switchgears and drives, control system, remote terminal units, field instruments and analytical systems, AC and DC uninterruptible power supply, emergency diesel generator, bus duct and cabling system, local control cubicles and earthing system.
