INTRODUCTION
Sewage treatment plant is a facility that design to receive the wastewater and
remove all the material that will effects the quality of water which compromising the
public health and safety after wastewater has discharged into the receiving system. The
main purpose of wastewater treatment is to allow industrial effluent, domestic and
commercial used to be dispose in a proper manner without risking a human health and
environmental because improper management of wastewater will contribute an
environmental pollution, besides communicable disease will easy to spread due to
presence of variety of pathogenic organism in wastewater. Conventional wastewater
treatment processes is a process that involve a combination of physical, chemical and
biological processes and operation to remove solid, organic matter and nutrient from
wastewater.

assessed. The most common standards used to assess water quality relate to health of
ecosystems, safety of human contact and drinking water. In Malaysia, water quality is
important because water from domestic sewage and industrial effluent that needs to be
discharge into environment must undergo a few treatments so that it will meet a
standard effluent requirement by Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia.
This final year project is conduct at one of the IPTA in Selangor. This IPTA
has built a modern sewage treatment plant to support a wastewater for the whole
campus. This campus is not fully developed and still under phase one construction and
not fully accommodating the peoples. For the sewage treatment plant, it was
functioning for the fully development phase. In addition, the water produced by this
plant after the treatment process is the higher grade which is A. The minimum
requirement needed by Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia is grade B before
the water is to be discharge to the environment [8].
The scope of this project is to make the adjustment of the operational system
of water treatment plant at one of the IPTA in Selangor. Water from the adjustment
operation then will be evaluating in order to determine the water grade discharge to
environment. There are several parameters involved that need to be tested and
2
`
conducted on water discharged after treatment had done thus it is complying with the
Environment Quality Act 1974 requirement. The parameters are:
pH test
Suspended Solid (SS) test
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) test
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) test
Oil and Grease test
The result of these tests will verify the quality of water produce by this plant
and comparison grade will be defined. Energy consumption from the current process
and adjustment process will be analyzed.
1.4 Objectives
This study is carry out to analyze water treatment method conducted in the
Sewerage Treatment Plant in one of the IPTA in Selangor,
i. To test and adjust Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) operation by reducing the
duration of operation.
ii. To compare the current process and the subsequent process after optimization
of plant operation in term of energy consumption. Energy consumption is related to
how the processes involved for sewage water treatment to produce a standard effluent
level.
iii. To compare and analyze water quality from the adjustment operation to the
current operation. There are a several important parameters will be analyzed such as
pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Suspended Solid (SS).

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
According to the Jeremy Parr et. al [3] industrial effluent, domestic and
commercial usage are considered as wastewater and once it is produce and collected,
those wastewater are required to undergo several treatments. Wastewater or also
known as sewage water is difficult to be treated and disposed because once improper
management occurred it might contribute a great influence to public health and safety
and to the environment. Nowadays, conventional sewage treatment is hugely use to
treat wastewater because it meant to reduce and decrease biodegradable organic
material, suspended solid and some nutrients contained in sewage water. This
4
`
treatment involved the removal of these pollutants and converted it into another
valuable product which is sludge.
5
`
maintain especially in hot climates. However, anaerobic process also have its own
side effect where it much slower than aerobic process and only effective at removing
the simple organic waste and not to any other pollutant such as nutrient and pathogen.
Form the finding of this observation; any plant that decides to undergo
wastewater treatment needs significant investment and control. Therefore any decision
to implement such a facility should be carefully considered.

2.3 Assessing the water quality index (WQI) of water treatment plant
From the M. K. Chaturvedi and J. K. Bassin [5] was carried out the water
quality monitoring exercise with water quality index (WQI) method by using water
characteristic data for bore wells and a water treatment plant in Delhi city from
December 2006 to August 2007. WQI is used to classify the standard of water whether
it is excellent, good, medium, bad, and very bad. M. K Chaturvedi and J. K Bassin was
used the National Sanitation Foundation WQI procedure to calculate the WQI. The
index range is from 0 to 100 where 100 represent the excellent quality condition.
They’ve collected water samples monthly at a three different place in Delhi and five
parameters was analysed which is namely, nitrate, pH, total dissolved solid, turbidity,
and temperature of the water. From the finding, they’ve found that the three samplings
of water show that the water quality was between “good” and “medium” and it was
acceptable for water supply. The WQI has been considered as one criterion for surface
water classification, based on the use of standard parameters for water
characterization. This index is numeric expression used to transform large quantities
of water characterization data into a single number which represent water quality level

From a research by Srivastava Anukool and Srivastava Shivani [7], they had
done an assessment of Physico-chemical properties and sewage pollution indicator
bacteria in surface water of River Gomti in Uttar Pradesh. Their studied was aimed to
estimate a current status of Physico-chemical characteristics and level of sewage
pollution for the whole Gomti River. The sampling was covered from upstream and
downstream region of the river. Eight water samples to be analyzed to determine the
status of Physico-chemical of water. The analysis was done such as Water temperature,
Total Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Suspended Solid, Conductivity, pH, COD,
BOD and DO. The study for bacteriological samples was focused on parameters like
Total Coli (TC), Faecal Coli (FC) and Faecal Streptocoli (FS). From their findings, the
high values of sewage pollution indicator bacteria was detected and they are revealed
that the quality of water of Gomti River was very poor, unsafe and not acceptable for
any purpose. The main cause is totally from the water treatment system from all cities
alongside the Gomti River.

For Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), this is simple system. It has a set of tanks
that operate on a fill and draw basis. It made from earthen or other type metal structure.
In the SBR system, each tank will be filling during a discrete period time and operated
as a batch reactor. The differences of SBR and conventional continuous flow activated
sludge system is SBR will carried out various function such as aeration, equalization
and sedimentation in a time rather in a space sequence. The advantage by using SBR
is flexibility in an operation [10].
11
`
SBR was designed consist single or multiple reactor tanks. The operation is in
parallel which is consist of five distinctive operating phase, Fill, React, Settle, Draw,
and Idle phase.
12
`
One of the experiments was carried out by N. Artan and R. Tasli [11]. They
was used SBR to carried out to investigate the effect of filling and aeration on the
efficiency of nutrient removal the characteristics of settling. On their study, they was
operated a SBR with a cycle time 8 hours in four different operations conditions. The
increasing of filling time will gradually reduced the aeration time during these four
different conditions. They also defined that the change of sludge characteristic weren’t
given a major effect on nutrient removal. From the result of their experiment, it can be
conclude that aeration time fraction is the most important parameter for the operational
of SBR that will influences the efficiency of the nutrient removal.
In the reaction process in SBR that involved aeration process, it involves the
utilization of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen where it is
applicable by microorganism. The duration of aeration period and the mass of sludge
will determines the degree of the wastewater treatment. Aeration period length was
depending on the wastewater strength and the degree of nitrification provided for the
wastewater treatment [15].
In the wastewater plant, aeration and pumping is the largest energy user. The
largest energy user in the water system is the pump [12]. Energy consumption in
wastewater treatment is approximately about 60% can be attributed to the oxidation
process or aeration process [16].

In this country, TNB was introduced a C2 Tariff for the wastewater treatment
plant.

CHAPTER 4
4.1 Introduction
In this section, it will shows that the result of the experiment. There are three
samples of water had been test in order to determine the standard effluent. Samples of
water were taken after through the adjustment operation in Sequencing Batch Reactor
(SBR) system. There are two types of water has been tested which is water in (water
flows in the wastewater treatment plant or influent) and water out (water discharge
from the plant or effluent). The current process of SBR is 60 minutes per cycle.
Standard grade water discharged to the environment is A for the 60 minutes operation
of SBR.
Energy consumption after reducing the SBR operation also being recorded and
analyzed in this section. The main purpose for the energy consumption analysis is to
determine the energy saving for this plant per day and per month after reducing
operational time of SBR.

Duration of SBR operation
From the three experiments of SBR operation, there are significant differences
of energy consumption when the duration of SBR operation was reduced until 15
minutes. Energy consumption was taken is the overall energy from this plant. It’s was
included the energy form pumping system at preliminary processes and secondary
sedimentation process. It also includes pumping system, Heating Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system and lighting system. Current process duration for SBR
at UiTM Puncak Alam plant is 60 minutes.
36
`
For the first experiment, an overall energy consume for current process is 792
kWH per day. After the operation has been reduced to 45 minutes, energy consumption
reduced to 711 kWH per day. The differences of overall energy consume at this plant
after the reducing the SBR operation is about 81 kWH per day. For the second
experiment, actual energy consumption for this plant is 859 kWH per day when SBR
operates in 60 minutes. After the operation was reduced to 45 minutes the overall
energy consumes is 704 kWH per day. The differences energy consumed for the
reduction until 15 minutes operation is about 155 kWH per day. It same goes to third
experiment where it recorded the energy reduction until 143 kWH per day. From the
energy consumed, it shows that the daily energy consumption for overall plant
decreased when the operation is reduced to 15 minutes.

From the average energy consumption, average cost for the energy usage per
day can be calculated. TNB was introduced a Tariff C2 for the wastewater treatment
plant. But for this project, the cost calculation can’t be managed because of lack of
data for energy consumption by this plant.
The procedure to calculate the cost of electricity by using Tariff C2, it need an
hourly basis data for energy consumption by this plant. It is because from the hourly
basis data, it can be determine the peak period time and off-peak period time in one
day operation. It does automatically can be determine the maximum demand on that
day.
Besides that, the management of this plant only provided a data of energy
consumption for the overall plant which is included the Heating, Ventilation and Air-
Conditioning (HVAC) system, other process pumping system, Lighting system for this
plant and miscellaneous. In order to have a specific energy usage for the SBR
operation, it needs a specific data and electricity bill for the energy audit of SBR
system.
41
`
CHAPTER 5
5.1 Conclusion
Based on research had done, many changes in energy consumption can be seen
after a few adjustment of the Sequencing Batch Reactor operation had been done.
However, a quality of water is slightly changes from the current plant operation. But,
standard of effluent still remain in standard A.
For energy consumption of this plant, it shows that the overall energy
consumption was decrease after the duration of SBR operation had reduces from 60
minutes to 45 minutes without affecting the effluent standard. The average energy
consume by this plant is 829.67 kWH per day for the actual process while for 45
minutes operation, the average energy consumed by this plant is only 703.33 kWH.
The expected energy can be saving after the operation reduction is about 15.22% per
day.
42
`
For the water quality, most of the water parameters had been test after the
reduction of operational time of SBR still far to exceed the standard B effluent. The
reading of important parameter such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and
Suspended Solids (SS) remain in standard A.
43
`
5.2 Recommendation
For the recommendation of this project, it can be recommended that the whole
data of energy consumption should be monitor and analyze constantly for the
improvement of energy audit. For the current method, energy consumption data had
been monitor randomly.
Plant management also must have a data for hourly basis at least once a week.
To be more specifically in order to determine the cost for the Sequencing Batch
Reactor (SBR), the data should be taken and record separately based on the different
system in the plant.
