The Industrial Water Solutions Project Unit (IWSPU) provides funding and technical support to facilitate the execution of approved projects in collaboration with industrial water users.

The scope for exploration includes: 

• water recycling and reuse opportunities
• use of alternative sources of water such as seawater
• minimise water losses through cooling processes

The Industrial Water Solutions Demonstration Fund (IWSDF) is available to support high-impact and innovative projects to treat and reclaim fresh water from industrial used water for process reuse. Companies with monthly water consumption of more than 10,000 m³ are invited to submit proposals for projects that yield at least 5% reduction in water consumption through reuse. Expressions of interests may be directed to the IWSDF secretariat at PUB_IWSDF@pub.gov.sg.

The Applicant can refer to the following criteria for eligibility:  

(a) Water Savings

• Companies with monthly water consumption (potable water/NEWater/industrial water) of more than 10,000 m³ as well as high-grade industrial water may be considered.
• Project should yield at least 5-10% reduction of water consumption (potable water/NEWater/industrial water) to be assessed by PUB. 

(b) Technology Specification

• The proposed technology has been tested and proven to be viable, and can provide sufficient data to warrant a Pilot Demonstration Project. Proposal should display a significant degree of innovation either in terms of technology or application in new or different industrial sectors.
• Upon successful completion, the technology may lead to full-scale implementation and could potentially initiate catalytic effect of wider adoption of similar installations within the industrial sector.

Please complete the Application Form and e-mail it along with your proposal to PUB_IWSDF@pub.gov.sg for funding application. You will receive an acknowledgement from us within 14 working days upon submission.
