Synopsis

In Malaysia, sewerage services provided in the form of waterborne sewerage systems were introduced as far back as the 1930s. With the rapid growth of population and good network of piped water and the country’s urbanization process, better sewerage systems were undertaken to phase out the less satisfactory disposal systems that led to increasing focus on the protection of public health, water resources and environment. The sewage treatment capability in all major urban centers in the country was enhanced with the introduction of modern sewerage systems, which during the later part of the twentieth century, major developments of sewerage sectors in Malaysia witnessed the most rapid and significant modernization of the sewerage facilities. Pantai 2 Sewage Treatment Plant (Pantai 2 STP) is a project under 10th Malaysian Plan. The objective of the project is to upgrade the existing aerated lagoon to 1.42 million population equivalent (320,000 m3/day) to increase the total capacity of Pantai Regional Sewage Treatment Plant to 1.80 million population equivalent (405,000 m3/day) in the future. The  Pantai 2 STP adopts a new innovation for its treatment process technology of Advanced A2O with green technology elements comprising solar PV, effluent reuse, biogas and rainwater harvesting. The Pantai 2 STP had started its operation and received the sewage flow at the end of 2015.
