Sludge Treatment>

All sewerage systems from individual septic tanks to the most sophisticated mechanical plants produce sludge. Sludge is an active organic compound which can rapidly turn septic if left untreated. Untreated sludge is a significant environmental and public health hazard.

However, treated stabilised sludge is inert, stable and safe to use. It can be utilised to condition soil or as landfill.

Malaysia produces 3.2 million cubic metres of domestic sludge yearly. However, facilities to treat and dispose of this sludge are limited. Currently, sewage treatment plants with excess capacity are being used to treat septic tank sludge.

By the year 2005, Malaysia will be producing 4.3 million cubic metres of domestic sludge annually. As a result, many new sludge treatment and disposal facilities will be needed to manage the large volume.

Fast Facts

In an industrialised city with plenty of water, flushing the toilet in an average household can send up to 50 litres of water down the drain everyday.

Yet more than one in six people world-wide - 1.1 billion - don't have access to 20-50 litres of safe freshwater daily, the minimum range suggested by the UN to ensure each person's basic needs for drinking, cooking and cleaning.
