Research Capabilities

NEWRI develops technology and engineering solutions based on transdisciplinary and in-depth scientific know-how, and application experiences. Guided by our Research-Engineering-Deployment (R.E.D) philosophy, NEWRI derisks its IPs and technologies to better meet the needs of industry and national interest. 
 

NEWRI is recognised by Lux Report 2013 among the top 9 research organisations in the environment & water domain globally. With our 400-strong scientific research and engineering manpower, led by globally ranked thought leaders in the domain, NEWRI has built a strong foundation of innovative research.​​​​​

Applied Research, Derisking, and Translation

 

 

One of the challenges for commercialisation of IP-protected novel technologies, is the translation and bridging the gap between laboratory processes, results and testing, and full-scale final product.

This comprises several key challenges, including scaling up component materials and equipment, system level thinking, and testing at pilot scale in an actual application setting.

NEWRI‘s ART (Applied Research and Translation) leads and facilitates the bridging process in three platforms:  lab scale - to pilot - to full scale plant; these platforms help NEWRI to de-risk its innovative technologies developed in its laboratories and make them market ready for their commercialization.
