EuroTec Water secures retrofit UF membranes water recycling project in Malaysia
Singapore-based membrane technology company EuroTec Water has secured the final batch of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes replacement order for Central Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) located in Setia Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. It will retrofit two existing UF trains which produce 5 million litres per day (MLD) of non-potable treated water, eventually increasing the plant’s production capacity to 7.5MLD. In 2022, EuroTec Water supplied its first batch of UF membranes to retrofit Central WRP’s existing UF membrane train for piloting purposes on the treated bio-effluent. After demonstrating the reliability of its UF membranes for over a year, EuroTec Water received the second batch of retrofit UF membranes order in 2023. This is then followed
by a final purchase of retrofit UF membranes in 2024 to completely replace the two existing UF trains. A total of 96 retrofit UF membranes modules were installed in Central WRP. Central WRP is a water recycling project joint-partnered by Malaysia Water Agencies, Air Selangor and Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under its sustainable water recycling initiative, supported by the Environment and Water Ministry and the National Water Services Commission (SPAN). The agreement will permit the treated bio-effluent from IWK’s wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to be pumped to Central WRP for further treating with UF membranes and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The non-potable treated water will then be supplied through

Nik Chia, managing director of EuroTec Water, said, “We are proud to have worked with our Malaysia partner, Kloberz to supply our high-performing UF membrane modules to Central WRP without the need of any modification to the two existing UF trains, achieving reliable and stable UF membrane operation to support Malaysia’s sustainable water recycling initiative.”
