Abstract
An assessment was conducted of an integrated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Malaysia. The WWTP has been designed to receive multiple effluents from central utility facilities (CUF) and other neighboring plants with varying wastewater characteristics. Commissioning of the plant was necessary as part of the quality assurance for the plant design specification. Operating units of the WWTP during commissioning are the intake collection, effluent monitoring, primary treatment operation, waste homogenizing and biological unit of processes. The assessment includes the monitoring of average flow rate, total suspended solids (TSS), oil & grease (O&G), pH, temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), and mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS).
