THE CHALLENGE
Designing an independent wastewater solution
A global pharmaceutical leader and long-time Veolia partner is constructing a new Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing facility at the Tuas Biomedical Hub in Singapore, adjacent to its existing plant. The new facility is expected to generate an average of 132 m³ of wastewater per day, comprising both weak and strong effluents. While located side by side, the new plant is designed to operate independently with its own dedicated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). To meet this goal, they required a trusted partner with proven expertise to deliver a fully compliant solution—on time and in accordance with stringent local environmental regulations.
THE SOLUTION
Innovative design and advanced technology
Leveraging its global pharmaceutical expertise and deep experience in industrial wastewater treatment, Veolia delivered a robust and future-ready solution tailored to the project's needs.
The WWTP was designed to fit within a compact footprint while allowing for future expansion and potential water reuse.
The treatment process combines advanced technologies—including ozonation, Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR), and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)—to ensure safe, continuous operation and full compliance with Singapore's strict discharge standards.
In addition to the treatment facility, Veolia also designed and constructed dedicated tank farms for segregating various complex wastewater streams, including non-halogenated, halogenated, and chlorinated aromatic effluents, all requiring off-site treatment.
