Catalyzed Oxidation

A pilot-scale combined system composed of anaerobic digenstion, membrane bioreactor (MBR) and Electro-Catalyzed oxidation processes has been set up to treat the leachate from municipal solid waste (MSW) transfer station. System performance was evaluated by ammonia and chemical oxidation demand (COD) removal . Results showed that 97% of ammonia was removed by MBR, and the elimination of COD was mainly completed in anaerobic process and MBR with a total removal of 99%. In addition, the analysis of microbial communities in the MBR, carried out by clone library and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the 16S rRNA genes, indicated a highly diverse bacterial community and the enrichment of N-cycling bacteria.

The fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0) supports new solid waste management and effective routing system for collection and transport of solid wastes, especially in achieving Penang 2030 vision to become a pollution free smart city. This study will enhance Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MBSP) solid waste routing system in Prai industrial area by implementing Dijkstra and Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) algorithms using Geographic Information System version 10.1. The route optimization study involved 24 companies in Phase I, Phase II, and Phase IV of Prai industrial area. The authority is currently using only one route to transfer the waste-to-waste transfer station. The Dijkstra algorithm can optimize alternative route 1 distance by 19.74% whereby alternative route 2 ended up with extra distance by 3.73% compared to existing single route used by MBSP. The forward Dijkstra algorithm involves single direction route with cleaning depot (source) as starting point and waste transfer station (destination) as ending point. TSP algorithm is having advantage with return direction route. The alternative route 1 evaluated through TSP algorithm gave shorter distance by 6.61% compared to existing route. Alternative route 1 evaluated through Dijkstra algorithm is potential to save fuel cost by 19.75%. Existing route carries 9.2% per year of transportation carbon emission level. The alternative route 1 assessed through Dijkstra and TSP algorithms reported lower carbon emission level at 7.4% per year and 8.6% per year, respectively. Findings of this study can help in improving MBSP’s routing system and realize Penang 2030 vision.

Waste Transfer

Rapid population growth has contributed to increased solid waste generated in Malaysia. Most landfills that have reached the design capacity are now facing closure. Taman Beringin Landfill was officially closed, so the Taman Beringin Solid Waste Transfer Station was built to manage the relocation, consolidation, and transportation of solid waste to Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill. Leachates are generated as a consequence of rainwater percolation through waste and biochemical processes in waste cells. Leachate treatment is needed, as leachates cause environmental pollution and harm human health. This study investigates the impact of treated leachate discharge from a Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) on the Jinjang River water quality. The performance of the LTP in Taman Beringin Solid Waste Transfer Station was also assessed. Leachate samples were taken at the LTP’s anoxic tank, aeration tank, secondary clarifier tank, and final discharge point, whereas river water samples were taken upstream and downstream of Jinjang River. The untreated leachate returned the following readings: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (697.50 ± 127.94 mg/L), chemical oxygen demand (COD) (2419.75 ± 1155.22 mg/L), total suspended solid (TSS) (2710.00 ± 334.79 mg/L), and ammonia (317.08 ± 35.45 mg/L). The LTP’s overall performance was satisfactory, as the final treated leachates were able to meet the standard requirements of the Environmental Quality (Control of Pollution from Solid Waste Transfer Station and Landfill) Regulation 2009. However, the LTP’s activated sludge system performance was not satisfactory, and the parameters did not meet the standard limits. The result shows a low functioning biological treatment method that could not efficiently treat the leachate. However, a subsequent step of combining the biological and chemical process (coagulation, flocculation, activated sludge system, and activated carbon adsorption) helped the treated leachate to meet the standard B requirement stipulated by the Department of Environment (DOE), i.e., to flow safely into the river. This study categorized Jinjang River as polluted, with the discharge of the LTP’s treated leachates, possibly contributing to the river pollution. However, other factors, such as the upstream sewage treatment plant and the ex-landfill downstream, may have also affected the river water quality. The LTP’s activated sludge system performance at the transfer station still requires improvement to reduce the cost of the chemical treatment.
