Pembinaan Loji kumbahan bawah tanah pertama di Malaysia bermula


  • Penduduk Pantai Dalam akan menghidu udara nyaman tak lama lagi
  • Datuk Sri Peter Chin, Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air  melawat tapak binaan dan berpuashati dengan perkembangan terkini
  • Teknologi hijau digunakan untuk kitar semula lumpur baki proses


Kolam memproses kumbahan di Pantai Dalam sudah sekian lama menjadi punca bau busuk di seluruh kawasan dari kawasan PPR Cempaka hingga lah ke Pantai Hillpark selama tiga dekad tetapi nampaknya keadaan ini akan berakhir dalam masa beberapa tahun lagi.

Dalam masa dua bulan yang lalu, terdapat pergerakan baru di kawasan kolam tersebut dengan naiknya pagar biru yang lazimnya menandakan sebuah kawasan binaan dan ini telah memberi harapan baru kepada semua yang tinggal di kawasan ini tetapi ramai juga yang risau bahawa kontraktor akan membina loji yang lebih besar dan menjadikan bau busuk lebih teruk.

Tetapi jelas semuanya meleset kerana hambar yang diletakkan di pagar menunjukkan sebuah taman rekreasi, kemudahan sukan dan juga dewan masyarakat di tempat kolam kumbahan.

Lawatan Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air, Datuk Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui meberi kepastian kepada penduduk bahawa kolam kumbahan memang akan dialih ke bawah tanah dan penduduk akan dapat sebuah taman dan kemudahan sukan serta dewan sebagai ganti.

Menurut siaran media, projek ini akan meningkatkan kapasiti loji rawatan kepada lebih 1 juta penduduk  dan ianya akan mula beroperasi dalam tempoh empat tahun lagi.

Kos projek ini dianggarkan RM980 juta dan loji baru ini akan dapat bertahan selama 30 tahun sebelum sebarang tambahan kapasiti akan diperlukan.

MEDIA STATEMENT
YB. DATO’ SRI PETER CHIN FAH KUI
MINISTER OF ENERGY, GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND WATER

Kuala Lumpur, 27 February 2012 – The Pantai 2 Sewage Treatment Plant (P2STP), Kuala Lumpur is a project under the 10th Malaysia plan. It costs RM983 million. The development  involves upgrading the existing aeration ponds to a mechanized system called Advanced A2O system.

When completed, the treatment plant will have the capacity to treat sewage for 1.423 million Population Equivalent (P.E.) from a vast catchment area that includes Bandar Baru Sentul, Kuala Lumpur Business District, Bukit Kiara, Seputeh, Kerinchi and Old Klang Road.

The discharge from the new plant will comply with Standard “A” effluent quality (biological oxygen demand (BOD) below 20mg/l and suspended solids below 50mg/l) in accordance with the Environment Quality Act 1974. The plant’s capacity to discharge 320,000 m3/day of treated Standard “A” effluents will actually help to improve the downstream quality of Sungai Klang water. as the effluent is cleaner than the water in the Klang River.

A large portion of P2STP will be built underground while the freed up surface will be turned into a sports facility and recreation park. A community centre will also be built for the convenience of local residents.

The construction period will be four (4) years followed by a two-year contract for operations and maintenance.

The overall transformation and modernization of the treatment plant will improve the quality of sewage treatment and have a positive social, environmental and economic impact on the Lembah Pantai area

The construction of P2STP is a major challenge for all parties involved in its development. To ensure there is no negative environmental impact and maintain the existing capacity for sewage processing, the Government will set up a temporary treatment plant that will be operational until the new facility is completed.

Major earthworks will be carried out to create a large, 16-metre deep excavation which will accommodate the new underground sewage treatment facility. However before this construction phase can begin, pond desludging work has to be carried out.

Geotube desludging technique has been identified as the ideal method, combining speed with reduced odour emission. This is the first time the innovative desludging method is being used in Malaysia.

To fulfill the Government’s aspirations for a more sustainable future, green technology is an integral part of the project and as an example, even the dried sludge that results from the desludging process will be further treated, processed and recycled into fertilizer.

The Govenrment fully understands the need for the public to be completely informed of what happens in their neighbourhood and they can find further detailed information about P2STP and make suggestions or file complaints about the project through the website www.pantai2stp.com.my.
