At Delta, innovation and sustainability converge to create meaningful momentum for a better tomorrow. As we continue to lead in power management and smart green solutions, we are proud to announce our partnership with Singapore’s National Parks Board (NParks) in the ambitious 100k Corals Initiative. This transformative collaboration marks a significant step forward in advancing marine biodiversity and fostering sustainable ecosystems for future generations.
Restoring Singapore’s Coral Reefs Through Innovation
Coral reefs, often referred to as the rainforests of the sea, are vital to marine ecosystems. However, they face increasing threats from climate change and urban development. To address this challenge, Delta has committed its expertise in industrial automation and advanced monitoring technologies to cultivate up to 10,000 corals annually at the Marine Park Outreach and Education Centre on St John’s Island.
The newly established coral culture facility leverages Delta’s cutting-edge Smart Coral Aquaculture System, designed to create optimal conditions for coral growth. With redundant Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), water quality sensors, and wave makers, the system integrates advanced automation to ensure precise monitoring and environmental control. Additionally, a specialized chiller system regulates water temperature, crucial for fostering coral resilience and growth.
A Legacy of Marine Conservation
Delta’s involvement in marine conservation extends beyond Singapore. In Taiwan, Delta’s efforts have resulted in the successful restoration of coastal reefs through coral nurseries supported by advanced automation. These initiatives exemplify our commitment to addressing environmental challenges and aligning with global sustainability goals.
In Singapore, the collaboration with NParks and researchers from the National University of Singapore Tropical Marine Science Institute aims to enhance the technical capacity for large-scale restoration. By integrating our automation systems with research-driven insights, Delta is empowering sustainable coral reef restoration to protect Singapore’s marine biodiversity.
Features of the Smart Coral Aquaculture System
Delta’s innovative system ensures reliability, efficiency, and environmental optimization:
• Monitoring and Protection: The VTScada system offers remote monitoring and real-time connectivity, while E-Fence technology ensures after-hours security by detecting unauthorized access.
• Reliability: Uninterrupted operations are guaranteed with UPS power back-ups, minimizing risks during power outages.
• Environmental Optimization: Integrated sensors and control systems maintain ideal water conditions for coral cultivation.
• Research Support: Advanced data analytics provide critical environmental insights, enabling researchers to refine coral restoration techniques.
Supporting NParks’ Vision for a Sustainable Future
The 100k Corals Initiative aims to plant 100,000 corals over the next decade, reinforcing Singapore’s marine resilience and promoting coastal protection. By combining Delta’s technological innovation with NParks’ conservation expertise, this partnership exemplifies a shared commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
A Commitment to a Greener Tomorrow
As a global leader in sustainability, Delta is proud to drive momentum in marine conservation efforts that align with our mission to provide innovative, clean, and energy-efficient solutions. Together with NParks and other partners, we are not only restoring coral reefs but also creating a model for how technology and environmental care can coexist harmoniously.
By nurturing ecosystems today, we secure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. At Delta, the momentum for change begins now.
