About the Trainer:

Lee Mun Fong (Retired from PUB: 11 Oct 2020)

Lee Mun Fong's experiences as a Water Engineer spans some 41 years.  Notable experience includes his involvement in the planning and process design of large water treatment plants and managing their operations and maintenance for more than 25 years.  Besides conventional water treatment plants, he has also been involved in managing the operations and maintenance of plants using advanced processes such as ozone as a primary disinfectant and also in plants using membrane filtration.  He was the Deputy Director/Chief Engineer overseeing the operations and maintenance of 6 conventional water treatment plants in Singapore, and NEWater Factories and the administration of the contract for the supply of desalinated water from the first 2 desalination plants in Singapore involving the private sector. 

He was also a member of the team that brought NEWater to Singapore.  He was in the PUB Water Reclamation Technical Committee which supervised the study to reclaim water from secondary treated used water to produce high-grade water (NEWater) for indirect potable use and direct non-potable use.  It was one of the largest potable water reuse programmes in the world.  The study involved the implementation of a pilot plant employing dual membrane and ultra-violet disinfection and a 2-year sampling and monitoring programme involving some 350 physical, chemical, radiological, and microbiological parameters to determine the safety of NEWater for potable use.  The study also included fish and mice studies.  It eventually led to Singapore being one of the early pioneers in adopting water reuse for portable applications.
