D. Existing Requirements<br />

SJER lacks a modern sewerage system and most households rely on<br />

individual septic tanks in the city of Johor Bahru. This is main source of<br />

pollution for many of the rivers in SJER and measures need to be taken<br />

to resolve this issue.<br />

E. Projection of Land Required for Sewerage Treatment Plan<br />

The future sewerage treatment system shall be mechanical and a total<br />

land area of 195 acres will be required by the year 2025.<br />

F. Proposal For Eco-Friendly Sewerage Treatment<br />

The proposed sewerage treatment system for SJER combines both<br />

primary and biological treatment in order to ensure effluent complies<br />

with Standard A of the Environmental Quality Regulations (Sewage<br />

and Industrial Effluent), 1979 and Class 1 of the National Water Quality<br />

Standard before being discharged into any rivers or water bodies.<br />

The Up Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket/Continuous Sequencing Batch<br />

Reaction (UASB/CSBR) treatment system shall be adopted for primary<br />

treatment.<br />

The UASB reactor is an anaerobic biological treatment system requiring<br />

no energy to operate. The sewage is anaerobically digested with<br />

potential Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) reductions of 50% to 70%.<br />

Methane gas generated from the process shall be stored to be used to<br />

generate power for the plant.<br />
