Hyflux Ltd

Corporate Profile

Hyflux Ltd began in 1989 as Hydrochem (S) Pte Ltd, a trading company selling water treatment systems in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and later, China. A little more than a decade later, Hyflux Ltd became the first water treatment company to be listed on the Singapore stock exchange in January 2001 and it is an index stock on the Straits Times Index since March 2005.

Today it has a market capitalization exceeding S$1 billion and is recognized as Asia’s leading environmental company with operations and projects namely in Singapore, China, the Middle East and India.

Specialising in membrane technologies, Hyflux is today an integrated solutions provider offering services that include process design and optimization, pilot testing, fabrication and installation, and engineering, procurement and construction. It is also engaged in the commissioning, operation and maintenance of a wide range of liquid treatment systems on a turnkey or Design-Build-Own-Operate (DBOO) arrangement.

Backed by its membrane and materials research centre in Singapore, the largest in Asia outside of Japan, Hyflux ensures that development of cutting edge membrane technologies is the key driver to spearhead sustainable company growth. Hyflux leverages on its technologies to develop a comprehensive range of membranes - polymeric, stainless steel and ceramic for a wide range of applications in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemicals and petrochemicals sectors.

More recently, Hyflux has also moved into the field of clean energy with the use of its proprietary membranes in additional environmental applications – the recycling of spent oils and solvents, as well as in the production of bio-based materials such as lactic acid and biodegradable plastics.

Hyflux’s outstanding performance has been widely recognized. In 2006, Hyflux was awarded Water Company of the Year by the UK’s Global Water Intelligence at the Global Water Awards. Hyflux was also twice listed as Forbes Asia's "Best Under a Billion" company in 2005 and 2006.
Ahead, Hyflux will focus on the development of cutting edge technologies as well as strong technical, financial and project execution capabilities and human capital to extend its reach in the growing markets of China, the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia.

Hyflux currently focuses on four core businesses:

• Water – Seawater desalination, raw water purification, wastewater cleaning, water recycling, water reclamation and ultra pure water production for municipal and industrial clients, development of consumer lifestyle products for homes and offices;
• Industrial Processes – Separation, concentration and purification treatments for manufacturing process streams;
• Energy - membrane system applications in resource recovery, waste recycling and energy reclaimation such as oil recovery and recycling.
• Specialty Materials - development and commercialization of materials such as lactic acid and biodegradable plastics using membrane technology.

公司简介

凯发有限公司创立于1989年，前身是一家在新加坡、马来西亚、印尼和后来在中国等地销售水处理系统的贸易公司——凯能(Hydrochem)。约十年后, 凯发有限公司于2001年1月成为首家在新加坡交易所上市的水公司，并自2005年3月份起，成为海峡时报指数的指数股(index stock)。

今日，凯发市值超过10亿新元，并是被认可的亚洲一家领先的水和流体处理公司。集团在新加坡、中国、中东及印度都有业务。

集团对膜(membrane)相关技术方面有专门研究，是全面综合方案的供应商，提供的总承包服务包括工序设计与优化、设计采购与施工管理、试验、建造、安装。另外，集团的业务也包括，在统包式或“设计-建造-拥有-操作”DBOO(Design-Build-Own-Operate)的安排下，委托、操作与维护一系列液体处理系统。

集团在新加坡拥有一所膜及材料研究中心，中心是日本以外亚洲最大的，而这所研究中心确保集团将不断发展尖端的膜技术，并以它为催动集团持续增长的动力。集团利用所研发的技术，开发出一系列的膜，包括聚合、不锈钢及硅纤维、可用在药剂、生物科技、化学及化工业等的不同程序。

该集团于2003年初次涉足消费市场，并设立消费休闲部门。专为这个市场所设计的产品包括空气转换为水的生水机、龙头过滤器及水罐，这些产品都利用集团的膜技术。最近，集团也开始涉及净化能源领域，将集团自身所开发的膜用在环境程序，如循环失活油脂及溶剂，及生产生物为基的材料如乳酸及生物降解塑料。

凯发的卓著表现亦受到各方的认可。在2006年，集团荣获英国的国际水务情报局所颁发的全球水务公司奖 。在2005年，集团也在《福布斯》亚洲财务少过10亿最强的小型企业公司的名单中占一席之地。
