Sebagai informasi, Sigapore sendiri mempunyai perusahaan pembuat mesin
desalinasi air laut
yang sudah mengglobal sepak terjangnya, yaitu: Hyflux
(http://www.hyflux.com/). Perusahaan ini
baru sekitar 6 atau 7 tahun berdiri, tumbuh dari perusahaan ventura yang
mendapat backing full
dari pemerintah Singapore. Dan saat ini sudah menjadi pemain dunia, dan
banyak mendapatkan
proyek mulai dari China, Saudi sampai Nigeria. Dan sahamnya banyak
diincar investor karena
prospeknya.
Menurut saya, yang patut menjadi pelajaran buat pemerintah kita adalah :
1) Menentukan fokus dan prioritas bidang teknologi apa yang harus
dikembangkan. Penentuan sektor ini harus
mempertimbangkan prospek dan strategis tidaknya bidang tsb. dan
juga prospek kontribusinya
terhadap peningkatan GDP kedepan. Bukan sekedar masalah target
melahirkan penerima
hadiah nobel atau yang sejenis yang sifatnya kurang membumi.
Sebagai contoh pemerintah Singapore mengambil bidang environment,
electronics dan bioteknologi.
2) Perlunya menumbuhkembangkan perusahaan ventura dibidang teknologi,
terutama yang terkait dengan
bidang prioritas diatas. Dukungan tsb. baik bersifat fiskal dan
teknis. Dan nantinya perusahaan ventura tsb. diharapkan menjadi
power house dalam pertumbuhan GDP di masa datang. Saya tidak melihat
adanya keseriusan pemerintah disini.
Memang pemerintah punya program KUR, PNPM Mandiri dll. Tetapi, saya
lihat lebih program ini tidak fokus banyak miss management
dan penyelewengannya.

Rekan2,
Di Timur Tengah penggunaan air laut untuk kebutuhan air rumah tangga
dengan proses desalinasi sudah lama dilakukan. Memang biayanya mungkin
cukup mahal yaa.
Mudah2an pemerintah DKI Jakarta juga bisa mengimplementasikan proses
ini untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air rumah tangga di Jakarta Utara dan
Barat terutama.
Teman2 di TP &/ TK mungkin ada yang cukup expert dalam hal ini?
Wassalam,

Rekan-rekan,
Satu lagi artikel tentang pemerintah yang pro-active. Masalah air
minum merupakan ancaman bagi tiny little country - Singapore. Setelah
membuat reservoir seperti bedok, membendung sungai kallang, waste
water recycling, sekarang mereka menggelontorkan dana untuk sea water
desalination.

Singapore's Environment and Water Industry Development Council has
handed out a SDG$4m research grant to develop desalination technology
that could halve energy consumption.
Siemens Water Technologies won the funding from the EWI to develop the
technology at its Singapore-based global research and development
centre.
The company says it can reduce the amount of consumption by at least
50% compared to the best existing desalination methods - to a level of
at least 1.5kWh per cubic metre.
The reduction would be even higher compared to most operating
desalination plants, which can consume as much as 10kWh per cubic
metre.
Many criticisms of expanding the use of desalination to ease water
shortages have focused on its intensive energy use, which flies in the
face of efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
"We truly consider this developing technology a breakthrough in the
desalination market, with significant global implications on water
resource management and the wider use of desalination in the future,"
said Chuck Gordon, CEO of Siemens Water Technologies.
The grant was part of EWI's Challenge RFP scheme, and will be used to
investigate an innovative process devised by Siemens to remove salts
from seawater in an electric field.
Mr Gordon added: "By setting the bar high, EWI challenged innovators
to creatively apply science and engineering to the reduction of energy
consumption.
"We are grateful to the Singapore government for their continuing
support of water-related research and leadership in the world water
community."
Research will mainly be carried out by staff at the company's centre
in Singapore, which opened late last year, working in conjunction with
researchers in the US.
Siemens are then planning to unveil the finished technology in
Singapore.
