Established
in 1995, SembCorp Utilities and Terminals (SUT) is Singapore's first central,
multi-utility facility. SUT has a simple goal – to provide efficient, cost-effecive
and reliable solutions flexibly tailored to meet the wide-ranging needs of
customers. Drawing on the extensive resources and expertise from its four major
shareholders: SembCorp Engineering, Tractebel, JTC International and EDB
investments, SUT offers its clients a full range of third-party services with
single-point accountability. These services include utilities like steam and
dematerialized water, terminalling, as well as waste management services. This
translates into efficiency and consistency for customers, who are then able to
concentrate on their core businesses.
As
Mr. Tan Cheng Guan, General Manager of SUT sums up, “Our mission is to be the
preferred utilities and service provider to the petrochemical, chemical and
pharmaceutical industries in Singapore and (in the future) the region”.
The
facilities of SUT are sprawled over twelve hectares on Sakra, Jurong Island and
its two phases of development represent a total investment of S$305
million. Operations
for Phase A commenced successfully in July 1997, while the completion of Phase B
in January 1999, marked the start of SUT’s full commercial operations.
Phase C is now underway to cater to the additional demands of customers
such as Celanese Singapore and Singapore Syngas.

SUT (Seraya)
|
|
Following
its success on Sakra, SUT is extending its wings to develop a second satellite
utilities centre in the northeastern part of Jurong Island in Seraya. This
second facility SUT (Seraya) is similar to SUT but will feature two additional
services – the supply of High Grade Industrial Water (HGIW), and Waste
Incineration service.
|
|
High
Grade Industrial Water (HGIW)
|
|
HGIW
is an alternative and cheaper source of process water to potable water and is
produced using Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology. The 30,000-m3/day industrial
water treatment facilities in SUT (Seraya) will treat raw industrial water from
Singapore’s Environment Ministry’s (ENV) Jurong Industrial Water Works to
produce HGIW for chemical users on Jurong Island.

|
Waste
Incineration
|
|
SUT
(Seraya)’s centralized waste treatment and incineration facility will be able
to assist industries in the efficient management of waste. The 60-ton per day
fluidized bed incineration plant will be commissioned to serve the waste
disposal needs of industries both on Jurong Island and mainland Singapore.
SUT(Seraya)
is expected to commence commercial operation in first quarter 2000 for its
Industrial Water Treatment facility and third quarter 2000 for its centralized
waste treatment and incineration facility.

SUT
has built a pipe rack network that is routed strategically to service its
customers by supplying feedstock supply and facilitating product transfer. This
efficient service corridor reduces customers’ initial investment costs and optimizes
land usage.

Fire Fighting
The
Sakra Emergency Response Brigade, S.E.R.B. was set up in 1996 to cater to the
emergency response needs of petrochemical and chemical plants on Sakra. It
functions as a first line of defence against potential fire hazards on Jurong
Island. S.E.R.B. also conducts training on fire safety procedures.

Why
Out-Source?
|
|
Traditionally,
petrochemical and chemical plants build and operate both their core process
plant, as well as the utilities plant. Why would they now contract out
third-party utilities and services to SUT?
The
benefits of outsourcing are obvious: minimal up-front investment costs, optimum
operating costs (minimal costs for facility-related maintenance and employment),
the ability to concentrate on core business set up and a convenient one-stop
delivery of utilities services. Furthermore, as a centralized utilities
provider, SUT enjoys economies-of-scale which enables it to provide these
services more cost-effectively and reliably.
