Where Does Your Wastewater Go?
For businesses involved in manufacturing, chemical processing and other industrial activities, knowing where your wastewater goes is an important part of managing trade effluent responsibly.
In Singapore, the applicable requirements depend on the discharge destination:
‣ Public sewerage system: PUB regulates trade effluent discharged into public sewers.
‣ Watercourses or onto land: NEA regulates trade effluent discharged through these routes.
But compliance doesn't stop at knowing where your wastewater goes. Depending on the discharge requirements and the nature of the effluent, appropriate treatment, sampling, and monitoring arrangements may also be necessary.
At W2 Industrial Services Hub Pte Ltd, we provide industrial wastewater monitoring solutions, including pH and trade effluent monitoring systems, to support businesses in managing their wastewater monitoring needs.
Does your facility generate industrial wastewater? Understanding your discharge requirements is a good place to start.
