Membrane equipment, operating conditions, mixed siphon and pump system, schedule, cost summary, and site tour are all presented. Conclusions indicate that: the Chua Chu Kang Water Treatment Plant upgrade was the largest retrofitted membraneplant, 182 MLD (48 mgd) in Asia Pacific and 2ndlargest in the world; immersed ultrafiltration (UF) membrane retrofitted from existingsand filters; enhanced water quality and achieved micro-animalalgae-free drinking water; innovatively designed for energy and chemicalefficiency; and, first plant to use a mixed pump-siphon system.
