IWK: Latest technology used to treat sludge

INDAH Water Konsotium (IWK) said its Kuala Sawah plant in Negri Sembilan is equipped with the latest technology to treat sludge to the required environmental standards.

IWK communications head Amin Lin Abdullah said the public sewerage facility at Kuala Sawah was one of the most modern in the country.

“There is no illegal dumping of sludge. The processed dry sludge was temporarily stored in a sewerage reserved land within the fenced area of the treatment plant and safely disposed of at approved landfill sites as cover material,” he said.

“The sewage treatment processes in all public sewerage facilities to prevent pollution are regulated by the Department of Environment and IWK’s sewerage services are regulated by the National Water Services Commission.

“We ensure that the public sewage treatment plants are operated and maintained efficiently every day to preserve the environment, safeguard the water resources and protect public health,” he said. - TheStar
