MMC Berhad : The Langat Centralised Sewage Treatment Plant Receives First Liquid Flow to Mark its Operational Readiness

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE LANGAT CENTRALISED SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT RECEIVES FIRST LIQUID FLOW TO MARK ITS OPERATIONAL READINESS

KAJANG, 3 October 2019 - The Langat Centralised Sewage Treatment Plant (Langat CSTP) celebrated its first milestone when the plant welcomes the initial liquid flow today.

The Langat CSTP received its first 60,000 Population Equivalent (PE) signifies the operation readiness to treat sewage inflow in stages from Cheras and Kajang and expected to process the flow of 230,000 PE which covered approximately 40% of the catchment areas by early next year prior releasing the treated clean water into Sungai Langat.

Considered as one of the mega projects of Ministry of Land, Water and Natural Resources, anchored by Sewerage Services Department, where the treatment plant will be able to treat effluents within Standard A parameters as required by the Department of Environment (DOE) under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 - Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations 2009. MMC Pembetungan Langat Sdn Bhd (MMC PLSB) was entrusted as the main contractor to deliver this national infrastructure project.

The project has tackled some of the great challenges especially in connecting 105km sewer pipeline in which it has to undergo stringent testing and commissioning including CCTV test, infiltration and exfiltration tests as well as flow test to ensure zero leaking and blocking along the pipelines before the live flow released into the treatment plant. Another challenge face by the project team is in the physical building of the Langat CSTP where it is developed on the land area of 7.3 hectares that can only accommodate 300,000 PE. With collaboration via Tokyo Metropolitan Government, MMC PLSB has successfully incorporated the Deep Aeration Method With Step-Feed Multi Stage De-Nitrification Process within the Langat CSTP which increased sewage inflow capacity up to three times with the same size of land area.

The plant will be capable to accommodate sewage inflow of 207,000m³ in a day or 920,000 PE, covering a total of 77.6 sq km catchment area which include Cheras Batu 11, Cheras Jaya, Desa Baiduri as well as Kajang 1 and 3. This RM1.5 billion-worth project is designed to achieve the Class 1 water quality, specifically in reducing the ammonia level along Sungai Langat.

The Langat CSTP will be equipped with recreational facilities for the public such as sixteen badminton courts, two takraw courts, two basketball courts, two futsal courts, a children's playground and a community hall.

The celebration was graced by YB Dr. Xavier Jayakumar, Minister of Land, Water, and Natural Resources. It was also attended by various agencies and local authorities who also contribute towards the overall completion of Langat CSTP.
