What KEPPEL Seghers does

Keppel Seghers is an integrated environmental solutions provider operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Group within the Keppel Corporation conglomerate. The company designs, engineers, supplies technology, constructs, operates, and maintains environmental infrastructure in three core domains: solid waste management via waste-to-energy (WTE), water treatment including desalination and water reuse, and sludge treatment through its proprietary ZEROFUEL fluidized bed technology. Its core product platform is the SIGMATRIX waste combustion system, combining SIGMA automated combustion control with MATRIX multi-movement grates capable of handling up to 1,000 tonnes per day per line, complemented by two-section boilers, dry and semi-dry scrubbing flue gas cleaning, ash treatment, and the AI-supported plant follow-up service that monitors 40+ operational WTE lines.

Keppel Seghers generates revenue through a mix of project-based and recurring streams. One-time revenue comes from Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts and technology package licensing, while managed-services revenue flows from Design-Build-Own-Operate (DBOO) and Design-Build-Operate (DBO) concessions, long-term O&M contracts, and remote monitoring and technical assistance programmes. Documented concessions extend to 25 years (Marina East Desalination, Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Water Reclamation Centre), 20 years (Ulu Pandan NEWater), and 15 years (Senoko WTE). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through competitive bidding for government, municipal, water-utility, and industrial clients, often delivered via joint ventures with construction and infrastructure partners such as Zhen Hua, China Harbour-ST Engineering Marine, Budimex-Cespa, Acciona, and the Macquarie-Phoenix Energy consortium.

Across more than 450 environmental projects delivered in 25 countries, Keppel Seghers has built a diversified customer base that includes PUB Singapore, the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority, Ineos Chlor, the Qatar Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning, Shenzhen Energy Environment Engineering, and the Macquarie-Phoenix Energy consortium. Notable reference projects include the world's largest single-site WTE facility at Baoan, Shenzhen (8,875 TPD), the Greater Manchester EfW plant (2,600 TPD), Singapore's first WTE plant using Singaporean technology at Tuas, and the Marina East Desalination Plant, which in 2019 became the first industrial facility in Singapore to receive PUB's ABC Waters Gold certification.
