The efficiency of sewage treatment plant: A case study at the main campus of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS)

Abstract The aquatic nature, including streams, rivers, marine, and groundwater, becomes susceptible to most contaminants’ effects through various pathways known as point and non-point sources. Point source pollution from inefficient sewage treatment plants (STP) will likely produce effluents that could deteriorate the environment. Therefore, this study assesses the efficiency of STP at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) based on the Malaysian Sewerage Industry Guidelines (MSIG). The design parameters of the STP and its influent and effluent physicochemical parameters are evaluated and compared b... Mehr ...
