Zenon founder awarded Singapore water prize


Dr Andrew Benedek, founder of Zenon Environmental, has been awarded a Singapore water prize for his development of low-pressure membranes, which have enabled drinking water to be produced from highly polluted water.

The Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize is an international award recognising an individual or organisation for outstanding contributions to the world of water management. Named after Singapore's founding father, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, the award comes with a cash prize of SGD$215,000.

"Dr Andrew Benedek is held in high esteem by the global water industry community for his pioneering work in low-pressure membranes. For this outstanding contribution, he deserves to be the recipient of the inaugural Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize," said Professor Anthony Gordon Fane, UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology, University of New South Wales.

An award certificate and cash prize will be presented to Dr Benedek, during Singapore International Water Week, which begins on 23 June.
