RESOURCE RECOVERY

Residues, Resource and Reclamation

Our research in residues, resource and reclamation strengthens Singapore environmental industry's capability in waste and resource management with emphasis on use-inspired R3 (Residues, Resource and Reclamation) research and translation for Singapore, and in the Asia Pacific region. It acts as a focal point for synergistic research collaborations with national agencies, industry partners, and educational and research institutions, both locally and from around the world.


Its R.E.D activities are focused around these 3 key areas: 

- Waste to materials - converting waste into new, useful materials; 

- Waste to energy - harnessing energy from urban biomass, sewage sludge, agricultural residues, micro-algae; 

- Contaminated site remediation - developing solutions and technologies for remediating contaminated sites.

Areas of research

Solid waste value capture through waste to energy and waste to materials technologies. 

Chemical Stabilisation

  • Ash/slag re-utilization
  • CO2 sequestration
  • landfill remediation

Gasification

  • Syngas upgrading,
  • Chemical looping combustion

Air Pollution Control
