PROJECT SYNOPSIS DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
A STUDY OF CONCRETE MIXTURE WITH ADDITIONAL MIXED WASTES RASIKA MALAR A/P CHANDRAN (17DKA21F2021) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ENCIK NOORHADI BIN JAILANI PROJECT SUPERVISOR Nowadays, concrete is the most important and widely used building material in the construction sector. The use of concrete in construction is due to its properties that are durable during service, cheap, easy to shape according to aesthetic requirements, easily available mixed materials, the main protection for reinforcement from rust, and also in terms of compression. In recent times, most of the concrete produced has been mixed with additional materials such as mixed wastes to increase its compressive strength. Because of this, researchers try to highlight the idea of using crumb tires and iron powder in the concrete mix, because crumb tires and iron powder are easy to obtain and can considered strong and durable. The percentage ratio of crumb tires and iron powder mixture in the concrete mix is 2%, and 4% while the concrete mix ratio used is 1:2:4 which is grade 20 concrete. The results of the data obtained from the workability and compressive strength tests of the concrete values will be compared with JKR standards. SYNOPSIS 16
AUTO UNLOCK SAFETY SENSOR WINDOW GRILLE MUHAMMAD ALIF AIMAN BIN ZAILAINI (17DKA21F2011) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING PUAN RAHAYU BINTI HAYAT PUAN NORASYIKIN BINTI YAAKUB PROJECT SUPERVISOR The purpose of this project is to design window safety grilles using the arduino uno system as the main factor to control the automatic grille opening system or abbreviated as (SWG) which acts to detect the initial cause of fire such as gas and smoke. Where this SWG system plays an important role in fire safety control in homes. This project produces another alternative in helping victims trapped in a fire to escape. The problem faced is that victims are often trapped in a fire because the lock system on the grate makes it difficult to open the grate. In addition, the victim was not aware of the initial fire. With this SWG, the victim is more aware of the early fire and can help the victim to escape using an alternative route which is the window. This project is more focused on residential areas such as flats and terraced houses. In addition, the project can help in reducing the number of victims who die trapped in fires. Throughout the process of preparing this SWG system, many mechanical and practical theories are used, which is according to the suitability of the user. This design project provides many opportunities to increase knowledge and experience because it can apply the use of design software such as autocad, basic engineering calculations, identifying and solving problems, donating the SWG system to help improve the safety system at home. However, this project still has shortcomings and weaknesses that can still be improved and has the potential to grow in line with the objectives of this design construction. Overall, these window security grills (SWG) work well. SYNOPSIS 17

SOIL STABILIZATION USING XANTHAN GUM. NUR ALYA AMIRAH BT MOHD AMIN (17DKA21F2010) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING PUAN SUZIELAHYATI BINTI YAHYA PROJECT SUPERVISOR Peat soil, known as one of the most problematic soils in civil engineering and the environment, is formed from the accumulation and decomposition of organic matter that has an organic content of more than 75%. As a result, peatlands often experience localized subsidence, embankment failure and excessive settlement in both the short and long term when subjected to light loads. Since several years ago, soil stabilization techniques have been practiced in Malaysia with various mixing and compaction techniques. The desired properties of the soil are achieved by using various physical additives. soil stabilization methods are known for their long-lasting and permanent effects that can effectively reduce soil moisture content. Soil stabilization using polymers has attracted considerable attention in the research arena with the aim of providing a more complete understanding of the expected properties of polymer-treated soils and the underlying mechanisms governing changes in engineering properties and performance. The objective of this study on soil stabilization is to use Xanthan Gum as an additive to improve the technical quality of the soil and to reach the best percentages (0%, 2%, 4%) through a compaction test. The soil will then be mixed with peat soil, which has a high water and organic matter content. This will enhance the soil's behavior and engineering properties. SYNOPSIS 19
A STUDY OF CONCRETE STRENGTH EFFECT BY USING DIFFERENT SIZES OF PEBBLE'S AGGREGATE AASIAH AL-USWAH KHAIZALANI (17DKA21F2023) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ENCIK MOHD ROZAIDI BIN ISMAIL PROJECT SUPERVISOR The study titled - A Study Of Concrete Strength Effect By Using Different Sizes Of Peeble's Aggregate aims to identify the level of strength of concrete mixed using peeble aggregate. To carry out this study and test the strength level of the concrete, 2 types of aggregate sizes were used, namely 15 mm size and 25 mm size, in addition to that 2 tests were carried out on the concrete mixture, namely the slump test and the compressive strength test. For the slump test, the mixture will be put into a rubble cone and rammed using an iron rod 25 times every 3 layers. The slump test is performed on the concrete mixture to measure the efficiency of the mixture in formability and its performance during the construction process. Through the slump test, we can evaluate the elasticity of the concrete mix and its ability to flow and fill the shape without adding too much water. This is important because good mixing efficiency can ensure the strength and quality of the concrete produced, while reducing the risk of defects and weaknesses in the building structure. The slump test value of concrete mix using 15 mm aggregate is 28 mm and the slump test value of concrete mix using 25 mm peeble aggregate is 22. Next is to carry out compressive strength test on concrete, compressive test is carried out on concrete to assess compressive strength or force resistance of concrete to pressure. This provides important information about the concrete's ability to withstand compressive loads imposed on it, such as building or floor structural loads. compressive testing is usually done by using a compressive testing machine that produces gradual pressure to the concrete sample until the sample is damaged or cracked. The results of the compression test provide an indication to the structural designer about the strength of the concrete and its reliability in the use of the built structure. All data is taken after the test is carried out on concrete. In conclusion, various information in this study is expected to help various parties in the field of civil engineering, especially to obtain strong concrete with high durability and able to be used to build buildings.

ECO FRIENDLY SAND BRICK WITH ADDITIVES FLY ASH AND CRUMB RUBBER NUR NAJWA YASMIN BINTI NORFAUZI (17DKA21F2009) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING PUAN SYAKIROH BINTI MOHAMAD TAUFIK PROJECT SUPERVISOR The study titled - Eco Friendly Sand Brick with additives of Fly Ash and Crumb Rubber aims to identify the level of strength of brick using fly ash and crumb rubber. To carry out this study and test the strength level of the brick, 3 types of different percentage used on brick which is diferrent percentage of fly ash and crumb rubber. First sample is control brick which is no additive. Other than that, for the second sample is 15% of FA and 15% of CR. Lastly, 20% FA and 5% CR used on the study of the brick. In addition to that, 2 tests were carried out on the study. First testing is water absorption test and the second one is compressive strength. Lastly, the test of density. Bricks can differ in their compressive strength based on a number of factors, including their unique kind, content, and method of manufacture.However, common brick kinds typically have compressive strengths ranging from approximately 3.5 MPa (mega-pascals) to 35 MPa. Compressive strengths of some speciality bricks, like engineering bricks, can be higher than 50 MPa. It is noteworthy that the compressive strength of bricks plays a vital role in assessing their appropriateness for various building uses, such paving or load-bearing walls. Brick compressive strength is often measured using testing techniques like ASTM C67 or BS EN 771-1. The term "water absorption of bricks" describes how much water a brick can absorb when submerged in water or exposed to it for a predetermined amount of time. It's a crucial feature to take into account when choosing building materials because too much water absorption can cause problems including efflorescence, frost damage, and deterioration in durability. Bricks' water absorption can vary based on a number of characteristics, including their porosity, content, and manufacturing method. Common bricks often absorb water at a rate of between 10% and 20%. However, the water absorption rates of engineering bricks are generally lower, frequently less than 5%, due to their increased density and increased impermeability. Brick water absorption is often measured using testing techniques like ASTM C67 or BS EN 771-1. This characteristic is essential for choosing bricks that are appropriate for various construction settings and uses. Brick density can vary based on a number of factors, including type, composition, and manufacturing technique. It's crucial to remember that brick density affects load-bearing capacity, thermal insulation, and soundproofing, among other properties that should be taken into account for a variety of construction applications. Following the brick test, all data is collected. In conclusion, it is anticipated that the information in this study will assist different parties involved in civil engineering, particularly in obtaining brick that is strong, highly durable, and suitable for use in building construction.

THE STUDY OF CORN COB ASH AND RICE HUSK ASH AS A PARTIAL CEMENT REPLACEMENT IN CONCRETE NAJWA NURIZZATI BINTI MUHAMMAD ROSDDI (17DKA21F2013) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ENCIK MUHAMMAD AKMAL BIN DAUD PUAN CHIA SOI LEE PROJECT SUPERVISOR Concrete is an important material in construction and it has high demand compared to steel and wood. It is used extensively in construction of buildings, bridges, roads and dams. Concrete has good structural potential and has ability to be cast to any desired shape. However, the strength of concrete decreases when cracking occurs due to applied loads. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the workability and strength of concrete by using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Corn Cob Ash (CCA) as partial replacement of cement. Concrete made with 5% and 10% are replacement of RHA and CCA by the weight of cement. Corn Cob Ash and Rice Husk Ash, abundant agricultural by-products, possess pozzolanic properties that can enhance the properties of concrete while reducing its environmental footprint. RHA and CCA contains the same properties as cement, RHA and CCA can also increase the strength and helps in reducing the voids in concrete. Compressive strength (Standard JKR Malaysia) and water absorption (Standard ASTM) test was carried out on hardened 150mm' concrete cubes after 7and 28 days of curing. Based on data, that shows the 3 types of sample concrete was little did not achieved for JKR Malaysia Standard. This is because the average of test lower than the JKR Standard. Therefore, this concrete is not intended to bear load but can be made as a concrete floor used in a building, such as a warehouse or garage floor. Although these floors should be able to withstand the loads imposed by daily use, they are not designed to bear significant structural loads such as concrete columns or beams. SYNOPSIS 27

CHAI TECK JUNG PROJECT SUPERVISOR A roadway is a road that will connect one from one area to another area. This road often be pass through by drivers regardless of the time, type of vehicle used and weather conditions such as heat or rain and will face through areas that have various types of road barriers. There are some lacks on rural read with the existing road reflectors on the W-beam guardrail because they are too small, among the problems that arise such as the lack of light reflecting aspects, not giving clear indications to the driver and not helping road users to prepare to face the corner for a certain speed. Therefore, this study focuses on three (3) main objects. first, to design and produce of road barners using affordable materials. Second, to determine the performance of product lighting sources. Third, to compare (FOG-B) with IKR standard. Therefore, this will make improvements to one of the existing road barriers which is the W-beam guardrail to increase the visibility of a driver when traveling on the rural road in the dark (lack of lighting) or rain. The resulting product will be installed on the existing Wbeam guardrail. For the testing data that will be obtained through this product is the Lux value using the Lux Parameter that will be measured through certain distances that have been set. Data obtained such as Lus value or light reflection will be compared with the Lux value resulting from existing products. The resulting increase is around 50 - 60 %. In addition, in this project also use the questionnaire method to obtain opinions from respondents about the research done. My purpose is wanting to help improve the visibility of road users and therefore minimize the risk of road accidents. Hopefully with this research can help in the future. SYNOPSIS 28

A STUDY OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER production THROUGH COMPOSTING PROCESS AINUL FATHIYAH BINTI MOHD ISHAK (17DKA21F2999) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING PUAN SETI SUHADAINI BINTI MOHAMMED PROJECT SUPERVISOR Malaysia is a country rich in natural beauty. However, Malaysia faces various challenges in maintaining its natural sustainability. There are many incidences of open burning and littering occur such as dry leaves are often burned for disposal and food waste being thrown in landfills, causing landfills to overflow and overall causing environmental pollution. The study of producing organic fertilizers through composting process is one of the alternatives to reduce environmental pollution. This research aims to produce organic fertilizer from natural waste by composting process and evaluate the nutrient content such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Pottasium based on NPK test. Furthermore, we assess its impact on crop yield, soil health and plant growth. The research involves the collection of organic waste from Parit 7 Gambut including food waste, dry leaves, coffee and tea grounds and grass to produce organic fertilizer through the compost process and will be tested for its effectiveness on the cultivation of chili trees during six months. There are three types of fertilizer produced, namely type A is a mixture of dry leaves, grass and water while type B is a mixture of dry leaves, grass, coffee and tea grounds and water and type C is a mixture of dry leaves, food waste and water. Furthermore, there are four types of samples for planting chili trees, namely control sample that is not applied with fertilizer, then sample A is mixed with type A fertilizer while sample B is applied with type B fertilizer and sample C is the sample that is applied with type C fertilizer. The resulting compost is then evaluated for its nutrient content which is sample A is the most fertile tree because it has the highest nitrogen and potassium, sample B is a tree that has a large number of chili fruits because of its high phosphorus value, then sample C is a tree that is less fertile because of a lack of nutrients, phosphorus and potassium. Through a systematic analysis of composting techniques from organic waste sources, we evaluate the nutrient content and impact of organic fertilizers on crop yields, soil health and the environment compared to chemical fertilizers. Overall, this research underscores the potential of composting as a sustainable approach to organic fertilizer production and soil enrichment by recycling organic waste materials and promoting soil health. Composting contributes to the long-term viability of agricultural systems while mitigating environmental impacts associated with conventional farming practices and can create a sustainable environment.

TO PRODUCE CEMENT BRICKS WITH LECA BALLS AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATE ABDUL RAZIQ BIN ABDUL HALIM (17DKA21F2006) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ENCIK IBRAHIM BIN MOHD ZULKFLI PROJECT SUPERVISOR In construction, cement bricks are widely used, especially in the construction of structures and buildings. One of the types of bricks available in Malaysia is cement bricks. This cement brick is a mixture of cement, sand and water. This study aims to make cement bricks by using Leca balls as a partial replacement of sand. Then, it is tested for compressive strength and water penetration, density test finally, it is studied to determine the most suitable replacement percentage of slag balls for cement bricks. For this study, a mixture of 0%, 5% and 10% Leca balls was added to cement bricks. The 7th and 28th are testing days. The bricks made are based on Malayan Standard (MS 76: 1972). The bricks used have a size of 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm. In this study, the ratio of cement to sand is 1:6. "Brick" with shell replacement is tested by Compression Test, Density test and Water Permeation Rate Test according to MS76:1972. The test results can prove that the use of 10% Leca balls in the brick mix has successfully reduced the weight of sand cement bricks which is only 1.3977 kg. When compared to the weight of the control brick that is not added with the rubber ball which is 2.8537 kg. at a curing period of 28 days. As for the compressive strength, the results show that the replacement of rubber balls is not enough to match the compressive strength of sand cement bricks, which is only 2.98 N/mm. In addition, the results for the water infiltration rate test show that the best water infiltration value is with 10% Leca ball replacement which is 3.40% compared to 5% Leca ball skin replacement brick with a 4.23% infiltration rate. This shows a low rate of percolation when compared to the normal engineering block requirement of 0% according to (M$76:1972). Suggested improvements from the results of this study, the researchers suggest adding substitute materials such as marble and glass in order to reduce the weight and increase the strength of the bricks.

THE STUDY OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE WITH RECYCLED JUTE SACK AND GLASS FIBER AS ADDITIVES FAIRUS ZAHRIN BIN ZULKIFLY (17DKA21F2001) DIPLOMA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ENCIK MOHD ZAINUDIN BIN JENAL PROJECT SUPERVISOR Lightweight concrete is characterized by its incorporation of an expanding agent, which enhances the mixture's volume and imparts additional attributes like workability and reduced dead weight. In comparison to traditional concrete, lightweight concrete is notably less dense. By combining the natural strength and eco-friendliness of jute fibers from jute sack bags with the high tensile strength properties of glass fibers, a hybrid composite can be formulated for concrete mixtures, offering the potential to enhance the structural and environmental attributes of the resulting construction materials. The innovative combination of jute sack fibers and glass fibers as additives in lightweight concrete can achieve proper strength with low density. However, several types of lightweight concrete are quite expensive, such as shale, expanded clay, and pulverized fuel. To enhance environmental sustainability, alternative additives like glass fibers and recycled jute sack bags may reduce raw material demand. Based on the data achieved, the concrete strength (N/mm²) for both 3% and 7% additives averages 8.71 MPa and 3.37 MPa, respectively, after 28 days. These results suggest that a higher percentage of additives is less suitable than a lower percentage. This kind of lightweight concrete can be used as backfill material or to construct small retaining walls in a garden or landscaping project. The density of lightweight concrete, with an average of around 1002.64 kg/m³ to 1216.72 kg/m³, makes it lighter and easy to work with. In summary, the percentage of additives in lightweight concrete affects its properties. Changes implemented in the project by varying the percentage of additives led to different compression strengths and densities. This project could be improved by using a new combination of fibers that interact well together. SYNOPSIS 33

In addition to being a place to study, the study table also serves as a decoration in the child's bedroom and can be taken anywhere. My goal in this final project is to design a folding study table with a whiteboard that is suitable for children. This is against the background of a study table in the market equipped with a white board. Also, small children need a place to scribble or draw somewhere and in the end what happens is that small children also scribble on the wall until the wall becomes dirty because of that I added a whiteboard element and a special board to put stationery. This project aims to design and build a folding table project with a whiteboard. The idea to innovate this table came about because most folding tables are used by people to go on picnics and so on. The table I made is to make it easier for children to learn and save space because this table can be folded. There are also some children who like to scribble on the wall at home, this folding table is perfect for scribble. Then from there the children can scribble, write or count on the white board. Often, tables in the market do not have benches or chairs to give them space to do work when children want to write on the table they have to bend down. The spark of my idea was to create a table and chair that can be folded and the height is suitable for children to make it easier for them to learn. SYNOPSIS 34

It is an effective and environmentally friendly way to remove pollutants and heavy metal from water. This study uses cactus and aloe vera as a living organism to remove heavy metal in leachate sample. Landfill produce leachate that give environmental negative impact. Untreated leachate can cause environmental impact such as liquid leachate contains high concentration of organic contaminants, heavy metals, toxic materials, ammonia and inorganic materials as well as refractory compounds, such as humic substances and its toxic to environment. Studies on the treatment of heavy metals in leachate are important because heavy metals in leachate have a great impact on the environment, humans and also flora and fauna. The aim of this study is to determine heavy metal concentration and analyze the potential of Cactus and Aloe Vera to remove heavy metal in leachate sample. The 4 parameters of heavy metal and 1 pollutant to carry out is Iron(Fe), Zinc(Zn), Manganese(Mn), Copper(Cu), and Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD). The study of removal heavy metal in leachate is importance because it can reduce economic impact like Cactus and Aloe Vera is cheap and easy to get also rather than use expensive technologies you can use Aloe Vera and Cactus as another alternative to remove heavy metal in leachate. Aloe Vera and Cactus samples were put into four trays with different dosages (Tray 1- 5g, Tray 2- 10g, Tray 3- 15g, and Tray 3- Control). Each dose was evaluated using varying retention times of 14 days, starting with 0 days, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days It is expected by using three dosage of cactus powder which is 5g, 10g, and 15g to remove heavy metal in 3000ml leachate sample would able to produce different outcomes. Based on this study, Cactus powder showed a positive result on removing heavy metal in leachate until on the 14 days but some of the heavy metal increase on 7 days but then decrease again on 14 days meanwhile Aloe Vera showed a decrease in data on the seventh day, which is the maximum number of days heavy metals can be eliminated by leaching. On the 14th day, the heavy metal content started to grow. SYNOPSIS NURUL RASYIDAH BINTI ABDUL MUTALIB (17DAS21F2018) 36
UTILIZATION OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE WASTE AND Combined Sugarcane Waste with Coconut LEAVES FOR eco-sound panel NATASHA BINTI RASIDIN (17DAS21F2005) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN SYARIFAH ANIS AQILA BINTI SYED NASIR PROJECT SUPERVISOR Malaysia throws about 1.2 million tons of agricultural waste into landfills every year out of the 998 million tons of agricultural waste produced worldwide. Recent research has shown a great deal of interest in the utilization of agricultural waste for sound panel applications as it has a good acoustical quality. In this study, the agricultural waste materials used for the production of eco-sound panels are 100% sugarcane fibre and a composite mix of sugarcane fibre and coconut leave (6:4). The eco-sound panels were produced for two different thickness; 10 mm and 20 mm. This study aims to understand the implication of varying the thickness of the eco-sound panel on the noise reduction coefficient value (NRC). Evaluation have been made for 4 different frequency levels; 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz in order to calculate the NRC for each thickness. By testing this different thickness, this study seeks the optimal thickness that shows greatest NRC that comparable to the conventional sound panel. Based on the data shows that 100% sugarcane eco-sound panel with thickness of 20 mm has obtained 0.81 NRC which is higher compared to a thickness of 1 cm (0.65 NRC). For the composite mix of sugarcane fibre and coconut leave eco-sound panel, the NRC value obtained are 0.69 and 0.77 for thickness 10mm and 20mm respectively. This data is comparable to industrial sound panels that have an NRC value of 0.8. Finally, the findings of this study will show the potential of using agricultural waste for use as eco-sound panels have maintained sustainable economic benefits for the construction industry.

The purpose of carrying out this project is to be more environmentally friendly and reuse materials that cannot decay because the materials used to make roads must be very hard and durable such as stone mixed with bitumen and concrete. In this project I want to try, test and identify if this additive is suitable for mixing concrete pavement for outdoor use. This concrete is produced in the shape of a cube to test its strength, which is called a "test cube" and after water absorption for different times of 7,14, and 28 days to identify whether it can be used for outdoor use. Research on the use of recycled road pavement aggregates or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in civil engineering applications is gaining popularity worldwide due to increasing efforts to promote environmental preservation and sustainable development. Road pavement waste aggregates reused for concrete, however, are currently still limited to non-structural applications. Recycled road pavement aggregate concrete can still be considered a rigid pavement material when its flexural strength is sufficiently enhanced to accommodate future traffic loads.

PRODUCE BIOGAS FROM HORSE DUNG AND USED COOKING OIL BY USING RECYCLE GAS BARREL MUHAMMAD AZIM AFANDI BIN AZMAN (17DAS21F2030) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ENCIK MOHD SAIFUL HADI BIN MD YUSOF PROJECT SUPERVISOR Anaerobic digestion is one of the more environmentally friendly biodegradable waste handling and disposal methods and offers more benefits when compared to other waste treatment techniques. By producing biogas and composting the slurry from a biogas plant, one can reduce the amount of waste (achieve zero waste discharge), recover as much energy as possible from organic waste, and minimize overall waste. The temperature required to produce biogas from biodegradable organic waste such as horse manure and food waste, is at mesophilic temperature between (30°C-40°C). At this temperature, microbes will be active to decompose the organic waste. If the temperature drops, the decomposition process of organic waste may be affected due to sick or dead microbes. Next, the increase in the amount of organic waste, especially in urban areas, is the cause of the problem of realizing the comfort and health of the environment. It needs to do good waste management so that it can benefit the whole community. The processing of organic waste through the bio digester method to produce biogas as an energy source is an effort. This research was conducted to produce biogas from the processing of organic waste through a digester method using horse dung and used cooking oil with food waste.

Biogas is an example of renewable energy which is derived from naturally replenishing sources that are continuously available or can be regenerated within a relatively short timeframe. The name of this project is the utilizing biogas from cow dung and sheep manure where the aim is to produce a bioreactor for the conversion of cow dung and sheep manure to methane gas can take place and to determine the volume of methane gas. This project is done to overcome problems where farmers do not manage the waste produced by agriculture completely and waste from animals is disposed of without a proper composting process. Improper waste management in agriculture can indeed lead to various environmental issues. Biogas, namely methane gas is produced through anaerobic digestion (AD), a process in which organic matter such as cow dung and sheep manure are broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen, producing methane-rich gas. With a 1:1 ratio of water and 7kg of cow dung and 2kg of sheep manure mixed with 50g of rice straw to increase the C/N of sheep manure, methane gas is seen to be produced on the 6th day of the AD after the adaptation period. 7kg of cow dung produce the maximum yield of biogas of 3% while sheep manure produces only 1.25% which makes cow dung to be the effective substance to be used to produce biogas.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HEAT ACTIVATED ZEOLITE AND RAW ZEOLITE IN REDUCTION OF HEAVY METALS IN LEACHATE AT JERAM SANITARY LANDFILL SHAZREENA ATIQAH BINTI ALI (17DAS21F2009) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN AZZAH SYAHMINA BINTI AZMAN PROJECT SUPERVISOR Leachate in landfill is a liquid that enters landfill from external sources such as rainfall, surface drainage, underground springs, groundwater and liquid created by the putrefaction of waste. Landfill leachate pollution with toxic leachate that was not engineered well creates alarming stress for developing countries and contaminates the underlying soil and groundwater (Hredoy et al., 2022). Leaking of leachate in aquatic or surrounding land is a major cause of pollution by heavy metals and xenobiotics (Qin et al., 2021). Zeolite is a mineral compound with a porous structure that has high cation-exchange allowing it to adsorp heavy metals from leachate and can be classified into two types which are natural zeolites and synthetic zeolites. This project is carried out to study the effectiveness of raw zeolite and heat-activated zeolite in reduction of selected heavy metals such as Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) in leachate. This study used raw and heated activated zeolite at 200°C to remove selected heavy metals in untreated leachate samples that was collected at Jeram Sanitary Landfill with different dosages from 5g to 30g at 24 hours and 48 hours of contact time. This project was carried out at PSIS Environmental Engineering Laboratory with a method of analysis using HACH DR3900 Spectrophotometer.The result shows that heated activated zeolite have better performance in removal heavy metal than raw zeolite. Based on the data showing that both zeolites can reduce heavy metals where the removal percentage increases in proportion to the dosage of zeolite. Besides, the contact time also contribute to increase and decrease of reduction percentage based on heavy metal due to saturation point of adsorption process.

UTILISING ALGAE BASED BIOREMEDIATION FOR LANDFILL LEACHATE CONTAMINATION NUR KHAIRUNNISAA BINTI MOHD SHAHRUDIN (17DAS21F2036) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN ERNIE BINTI ZULKIFLI PROJECT SUPERVISOR Landfills are the most powerful waste transfer strategy in Malaysia, but this creates issues due to the era of leaching. Improper leachate treatment pollutes the environment and endangers human well-being. This article considers the leaching characteristics of Panchang Bedena Landfill (PBL). This study describes the study of leachate using macroalgae, which are Chaetomorpha sp. and Cladophora sp. These two macroalgae are a type of green growth that has shown potential in treating leachate, which may be liquid waste produced from the degradation of natural materials in landfills. The main problem statement about leachate is that it contains different toxins, such as heavy metals, natural compounds, and food additives such as nitrogen and phosphorus. So, leachate treatment is fundamental to preventing pollution and protecting the environment which is the result of a combination of 30g of macroalgae and 500 mL of leachate. The parameters tried in this consideration incorporate pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and suspended solids (TSS). The investigation was carried out with a standard strategy using a versatile spectrophotometer (HACH DR 3900) and a pH meter. The result from the study shows the best pH reading for Chaetomorpha sp. and Cladophora are 8.45 (day6) and 8.16 (day-3). Reduction of COD (mg/L) for Chaetomorpha sp. is 64.38% (day-12) and Cladophora sp. is 76.94% (day-12). Next, reduction for ammoniacal nitrogen (mg/L) both of macroalgae is 100% (day-12). For the reduction of last parameter which is TSS (mg/L) Chaetomorpha sp. is 2.96% (day-12) and Cladophora sp. is 2.05% (day-12), which is set for 12 days.

NATURAL COAGULANT FROM PAPAYA SEED AND OKRA SEED SITI NORAISYAH BINTI HUSSAIN (17DAS21F2012) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN NOOR FARAHIN BINTI BAIN PROJECT SUPERVISOR The purpose of this study is to produce Natural Coagulant from okra and papaya seeds. Natural coagulants are substances obtained from plant, animal, or microbial sources that can induce coagulation in liquids, especially in water treatment processes. These materials were chosen because according to studies they proved to be good coagulants for the water treatment process. This study aims to produce an environmentally friendly coagulant from natural materials such as okra and papaya seeds, produce a non-chemical coagulant, and determine the turbidity of water samples after using these two plants. Next, okra or papaya seeds should be dried and crushed into smaller pieces for extraction and after the extraction process, the filtering process will also be done. Three different ratios were conducted using okra and papaya seeds. The three amounts of okra seeds will be extracted using 50 ml of distilled water and when ready, they will be measured in different measurements representing 6 beakers filled with sample water taken at lakes Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnic for the jar test process. The lowest turbidity value among the three ratios for okra seeds is, the ratio of 3 grams is 6.22 NTU, the ratio of 6 grams is 1.03 NTU, and the ratio of 9 grams is 1.57 NTU.

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC USING CASSAVA AND BANANA STEM NURKHAYRIN SOFIYA BINTI MOHAMAD AZHARUDIN (17DAS21F2015) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN ROZILAILI BINTI MUSTAPA PROJECT SUPERVISOR Most plastic products are made of polymers that take a long time to decompose. It will cause the release of toxic gases if disposed of by burning or improper disposal. A study was conducted to produce biodegradable plastic. It is an alternative to reduce the waste that should be thrown away at the sanitation site. Therefore, the study is about the production of biodegradable plastic from banana stem essence and cassava starch. These plastics are made from natural materials that can degrade in the soil quickly and renewable. The scope of this study is to focus on the manufacture of biodegradable plastic that can be made with a tray mold by comparing banana stems and cassava. A study on the influence of the addition of ZnO on the physical and mechanical properties of biodegradable plastic with the main ingredient banana stem essence and cassava starch as a substitute for conventional plastic that is difficult to be explored by the soil has been done. There are several parameters that had be carried out to test the quality of the plastic, including elasticity and the time it will take to settle in the ground. The results of the study show that banana stems and cassava can be used as a new materials to make biodegradable plastics. By using banana stems, the plastic produced is environmentally friendly and has long lasting. As a result, the cassava and banana stem starch have a high concentration of starch that plays important role in produce the biodegradable plastic. SYNOPSIS ZAFIRAH BINTI ZAKERIA (17DAS21F2015) 47
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ECO-FRIENDLY INSECT REPELLENT CANDLE FORMULATED WITH WASTE COOKING OIL, NEEM AND LEMONGRASS. PRESHEILA A/P SARAVANAN (17DAS21F2034) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN SHAWALRINA BINTI ZAINAL ABIDIN PROJECT SUPERVISOR This final year project is entitled “The Effectiveness of Eco-friendly Insect Repellent Candle Formulated Using Waste Cooking Oil Neem and Lemongrass”. The waste cooking oil was collected from the students cafeteria of the Polytechnic of Sultan Idris Shah and utilized in the candle making process. These candles were developed using 3 different concentrations of neem and lemongrass oil, which are 10, 20 and 30 drops. The steam distillation method was used to extract the oil. Unlike the regular candles in the market which use paraffin waxes, this project intended to exert oil solidifiers (Stearic Acid) in the eco-friendly insect repellent candles. The test of effectiveness was conducted at two different places, which is Sabak Bernam Market and the surrounding area of ‘Ternakan Ayam Kampung Kacuk”. The burning time of the candles were measured as a quality metric. Longer burning time indicates high quality candles. Additionally, the effectiveness of eco-friendly insect repellent candles was compared with commercially available candles. The data was collected using a scudder fly grill to quantify the presence of flies in a particular zone of the locations. This project aims to provide insights into producing sustainable and environmentally friendly insect repellent candles and contributing to waste reduction while promoting environmental sustainability.

PRODUCE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTE BY USING PALM BUNCH AND PALM SHELL NURUL FARHANAH BINTI SHARUL (17DAS21F2023) DIPLOMA IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PUAN SITI HAJARIAH ILANI BINTI MAT LAZIM PROJECT SUPERVISOR Briquette charcoal refers to charcoal that has been compacted into briquettes before it is used. The process of making charcoal briquettes involves the compaction of powder from the composition of raw materials and a mixture of adhesives using high pressure. This project will discuss the process of producing charcoal briquettes from palm shells and palm bunch with 3 percent different adhesives which are 7%, 10%, and 15% to identify the level of better quality or comparable to charcoal in the commercial. The use of palm waste can reduce the impact of pollution environment (Bernama, 2023) because it can reduce the effect of greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural waste that is not properly managed can be the cause of serious problems where it has a negative impact on the environment. In general, most farms let agricultural waste decompose on its own or take it easy by burning it openly. Unknowingly, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and worsens air quality. Therefore, the production of charcoal briquettes from palm waste as charcoal briquettes is very beneficial to the environment and others. There are several research methods carried out to obtain quality product results, among which are document analysis, selection of study samples, product design, experimental data collection, and analysis of the experiments carried out. the results of the study of charcoal briquettes from palm waste after going through ignition and water boiling tests have produced charcoal briquettes that have the ability to burn for a long time, potentially producing a little smoke emission, but it has produced a lot of dust. Based on the test, the charcoal sample that has 10% adhesive which is 90:10 obtained data that is close to the commercial charcoal data. For this project, the recommendation that can be highlighted to obtain quality charcoal is to perform stronger compression so that the burning process of the briquette charcoal does not produce a lot of dust. In addition, the charcoal refining process should be refined more finely so that the charcoal texture is smooth and compression can be done more closely without the space that causes it to become dust easily. Overall, the creation of charcoal briquettes from agricultural waste can be used as a renewable energy source that can help reduce pressure on nonrenewable natural resources. Agricultural waste is a renewable resource that will never run out and can be used as a safe and sustainable alternative fuel. SYNOPSIS NUR AMILA SYAMIMI BINTI MOHD SOBRI (17DAS21F2002) 49
