(SEWAGE) REGULATIONS 2009

• Formerly known as Environmental Quality (Sewage and

Interpretation
• “dilution”

Means any process making sewage less concentrated by

Disposal By Dilution
• Dilution is predominant natural method of disposal. Disposal
by dilution is the process whereby the raw or treated (most
treated) sewage is discharged into water bodies such as
rivers, lakes, sea, etc.
• The discharge sewage, in due course of time, is purified by the
self purification process of the natural waters. The sewage is
mainly purified due to oxidation of organic matter by bacteria
using the dissolved oxygen (DO) present in the water bodies.
• The degree of the treatment given to the raw sewage before
disposing it in to any river will depend not only upon the
quality of raw sewage but also on the self purification
capacity of river and the intended use of its water at the
downstream end.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (SEWAGE)
REGULATIONS 2009
Interpretation
• “performance monitoring”

Means the routine monitoring of certain characteristics to


provide an indication that a treatment process is functional

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (SEWAGE)
REGULATIONS 2009
Interpretation
• “population equivalent”

Means the equivalent in terms of fixed population of a


varying or transient population or other activity, for example
industrial or commercial contributing to flow to the
sewerage treatment system.
Population Equivalent
• The wastewater carried by the sewer consists of domestic
sewage and the industrial wastewater – it is expressed as a
muicipal load.
• The population equivalent (PE) is a unit of measurement of
organic biodegradable pollution representing the
average load of that pollution produced by one person in
one day;
• In general, BOD contribution per capita per day may be
taken as 60 - 80 g/day or (0.06 - 0.08 kg/day/person).

= Excretes 80 g/day of BOD


MONITORING OF SEWAGE DISCHARGE
• An owner or occupier of a premises that discharges
sewage onto or into any soil, or into any inland waters or
Malaysian water shall, at his own expense:
• Monitor the concentration of the parameters specified in
the first column of the Second Schedule.
• Install flow-meters, sampling equipment and recording
equipment.
• The owner or occupier of the premises shall maintain a
record of sewage discharge monitoring data (Fifth
Schedule)
