Center Enamel: EPC Contractor for Singapore Municipal Wastewater Treatment Project

As a highly urbanized island country with scarce land resources and extremely strict environmental regulations, Singapore regards water resource recycling and pollution control as core national development strategies. The construction and upgrading of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Project have become indispensable urban infrastructure to alleviate water shortage, curb water pollution and maintain urban ecological balance.
As a professional and experienced Municipal Sewage Treatment Project EPC Contractor, Center Enamel delivers one-stop customized EPC solutions for Singapore’s sewage treatment industry. With high-performance GFS Tanks as core equipment and mature anaerobic treatment technologies, we help Singapore achieve efficient sewage purification, biogas resource utilization and sustainable water environment management, adapting to the unique geographical, climatic and industrial characteristics of Singapore.
Analysis of the Generation Principle of Municipal Wastewater
Singapore’s municipal wastewater presents unique characteristics due to its high population density, compact urban layout, developed commercial economy and complete domestic supporting facilities. Urban municipal wastewater is mainly composed of domestic sewage from residential areas, catering and commercial sewage from business districts, public facility sewage and a small amount of rainwater mixed inflow.
In daily urban operation, residents’ daily washing, catering consumption, public sanitation maintenance and commercial operation will continuously produce wastewater containing complex pollutants. The main pollutants include high-concentration organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, suspended solids, grease and trace pathogenic bacteria.
If discharged directly without treatment, these pollutants will cause serious damage to Singapore’s limited coastal waters and inland water bodies, trigger water eutrophication, destroy marine ecological environment, and even affect the country’s reclaimed water supply system.
Restricted by the narrow land area and dense urban buildings, Singapore’s municipal sewage has the characteristics of complex water quality, stable water volume and high treatment standards. It puts forward higher requirements for the compact design, high efficiency and low odor of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Project. Reasonable treatment process and high-corrosion-resistant storage and reaction equipment are essential to realize standardized discharge and resource reuse of sewage.
Anaerobic Technologies for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Projects
Anaerobic treatment technology is the core process of modern municipal sewage treatment, which can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and realize biogas recycling. Combined with Singapore’s land shortage, high temperature and humid tropical climate, Center Enamel optimizes and applies a variety of mature anaerobic processes including CSTR, USR, UASB and IC to meet different project scales and treatment demands.
2.1 CSTR (Completely Stirred Tank Reactor)
CSTR anaerobic reactor adopts full mixing stirring design, which can fully mix sewage and anaerobic sludge. It has strong tolerance to grease and suspended solids in Singapore catering and municipal mixed sewage, avoiding sludge deposition and local acidification. The stable operating state reduces daily maintenance difficulty, which is very suitable for large-scale municipal centralized sewage treatment projects in Singapore.
2.2 USR (Upflow Solid Reactor)
With simple structure, small floor area and low energy consumption, USR process integrates reaction, precipitation and separation. It is suitable for small and medium-sized municipal sewage upgrading projects in Singapore’s compact urban areas. Its low operating cost and stable treatment effect perfectly fit Singapore’s demand for energy-saving and low-carbon environmental protection projects.
2.3 UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket)
As a widely recognized mature process, UASB reactor forms a high-activity granular sludge blanket inside. Sewage flows upward for full biochemical reaction, with high organic removal efficiency and low infrastructure investment. It is widely used in conventional Municipal Wastewater Treatment Project in Singapore, with stable operation and strong environmental adaptability.
2.4 IC (Internal Circulation) Anaerobic Process
IC reactor features high volumetric load and ultra-small occupied area. Relying on biogas internal circulation to strengthen mass transfer efficiency, its treatment capacity is several times that of traditional anaerobic equipment. For Singapore’s land-scarce cities, the IC process effectively saves construction space and is the preferred process for large-capacity and high-load municipal sewage renovation and new projects.

The anaerobic treatment system can recover biogas for power generation or heating, realizing the recycling of waste energy, which is in line with Singapore's strategic goal of renewable energy development and reducing the long-term operation cost of the project.
Equipment Provided by Center Enamel for Wastewater Treatment Projects
Center Enamel provides a complete set of core equipment for Singapore Municipal Wastewater Treatment Project, among which GFS Tanks are the core equipment with outstanding advantages.
1.GFS Tanks (Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks)
As the flagship product of Center Enamel, GFS Tanks are formed by high-temperature fusion of glass enamel and special steel plate at over 820℃, with excellent performance:
- Super corrosion resistance: Resistant to pH 1-14, suitable for acidic, alkaline and corrosive environments in municipal wastewater treatment, and the service life is longer than that of traditional concrete tanks and carbon steel tanks.
- Excellent seismic and thermal stability: Adopting bolted connection structure, it has better seismic performance than rigid concrete, and can resist strong ultraviolet radiation in Singapore without aging and deformation.
- Fast installation and low cost: Factory prefabrication, on-site bolt assembly, no on-site welding, short construction period, less affected by climate, suitable for Singapore's remote and dispersed project sites.
- Large-scale customization: Can be customized in volume and specification according to project needs, meeting the storage and reaction needs of anaerobic reactors, regulating tanks, etc.
2.Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tanks
