‫السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته‬
& Salam Sejahtera

Alhamdulillah, it is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Dissertation,
Presentation & Exhibition DPEx-29.

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to say congratulations
and a job well done to all committee members, especially to all Civil
Engineering Department staff who have worked diligently in making
DPEx-29 a great success.

Civil Engineering Department plays a role in responding to the
government's call to produce specialist experts in meeting the needs of
the public and private industries in Malaysia. Fourth Industrial
Revolution IR 4.0 demands changes in the contents of not only
technical education but also education in general. Across disciplines,
new emphasis will have to be given to specific skills and new content
have to be added. I hope DPEx29th becomes a platform to train
students to produce more innovations to meet the changing demands.

As the director of Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnic (PSIS), I
hope Civil Engineering Department will succeed at the
national and international levels in line with the PSIS
tagline; Designing Your Future.

Thank You and Good Luck!

SYNOPSIS

Changing the shape of the brick has made it an interesting product due to the
addition of stoppers on the sides and bottom of the brick. The bricks produced
are according to the standard size of normal bricks and the material added as a
stopper to the bricks is 6mm screws. The change in the shape of these bricks can
estimate the distance of 10mm between the bricks without being measured. This is
because the stoppers on the bricks have been created to give an accuracy of
10mm between the bricks. The addition of stoppers to the screws can also reduce
the waste of mortar because the mortar is used carefully. In conclusion, the
results of the investigation from this project show that this product can be used
more easily and save time during its installation. The name given is Ez-Brick very
much meets the criteria that have been modified on this brick.

SYNOPSIS

The study of rice husk as a partial replacement of sand in production of concrete
roof tiles has been done because considering the use of sand as a natural
resource is increasingly affecting the environment and its use needs to be
reduced. Rice husk is agricultural waste from rice mills and has a wide source in
Sabak Bernam District, Selangor. Rice husk ccontains organic substances and 20%
inorganic material. In this study, concrete roof tiles were produced with partial
replacement of sand using 2%, 4% and 0% rice husk as a control sample. The
mixture for concrete roof tiles uses a ratio of 1 : 2 : 4 which is 1 for cement, 2 for
sand and 4 for aggregate. The purpose of this study is to produce concrete roof
tiles and identify the optimal ratio of rice husk replacement in concrete roof tiles
based on its engineering characteristics. The engineering characteristics
determined are concrete workability, compressive strength, resistance to heat
and water absorption which are based on tests that can be carried out at the Civil
Engineering Workshop, Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah. This study also aims to utilize
agricultural waste as a new resource in producing tiles that are more
environmentally friendly, at the same time being able to preserve the
sustainability of natural resources and reduce agricultural waste.

SYNOPSIS

The road system network is one of the communication mediums that plays an
important role in connecting one area with another. Road construction under the
Public Work Department of Kuala Selangor was used super fiber composite (SFM)
as and additives in their flexible pavements. The use of SFM synthetic fiber has
increased the overall cost of road construction projects compared to
conventional mixed materials. Therefore, the research done is to get better
results by using coconut coir as an additive in the flexible pavement mixture. This
material is made of natural fiber, easily available, cheap in terms of cost and also
has good properties in flexibility and durability. The objective of this study is to
develop a design mix to get optimum value. The design mix used is 0.2%, 0.4%,
and 0.6%. It was found that, sample with 0.4% of coconut fiber produced optimal
and meets the JKR standards Wearing Course AC 14. This study was carried out at
the IKRAM Laboratory in Kajang, Selangor. The test that has been done is the
Marshall Test to obtain flow, stability, air void, void-filled bit, and density. Based
on this product, it can be used by PWD in the road construction and improving
the standard of living of the community and sustainability aspect with the use of
coconut coir in flexible pavement.

SYNOPSIS

Flooding is natural disaster that occurs every year which causes property
damage, environmental damage, and loss of life. Flooding also caused almost all
houses and residential area to be flooded. Flood events can be caused by issues
such as drainage systems being blocked by water disposal and dry fallen leaves.
In the regards, the study overcome the problem of clogged drains and
overflowing water at the Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnic by producing a concrete-
type drain cover with a size 760mm x 430mm x 60mm with the use of waste
material namely coconut coir that serves to absorb air on the surface of the drain
cover which can prevent rubbish, and dry fallen leaves from entering drain flow.
This coconut coir will be placed between the 11mm concrete pores. This project
was produced by using the Urban Storm Water Management Manual (MSMA)
method as a reference material which emphasizes the control of the quality and
quantity of air drainage. This project was done to identify concrete type drain
covers that can absorb water when it rains without rubbish and dry fallen leaves
entering the drain flow. The test carried out is a compression test, which is to
identify the maximum load that can be borne for a drain cover. The second test is
a water absorption test, this is to determine how much water can be absorbed by
this coconut husk in a specific time. With the production of this product, it can
make it easier for the drain cleaning contractor at PSIS to wash the drain because
rubbish, and dry fallen leaves will not enter the drain and the problem of
overflowing water when it rains can also be overcome because the flow of water
in the drain is smooth.

SYNOPSIS

The implementation of the Industrial Building System (IBS) in Malaysia using
prefabricated concrete components was first introduced by the government since
1964 with the launch of two of the earliest construction projects consisting of the
development of Flat Tunku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur and Flat Rifle Range
Road in Penang because of its advantages compared to the system conventional.
However, the percentage of IBS use is still decreasing, especially in rural areas.
This study was conducted to study on the implementation of IBS among
contractors in Sabak Bernam, Selangor. The objectives of this study are to
identify contractors who do not use the IBS method, identify the factors of
contractors who still do not use the IBS method in the construction industry and
express differences of opinion among contractors who use the conventional
method and the IBS method. This study is in the form of a descriptive survey that
uses questionnaires and interviews as instruments to obtain the necessary data.
The researcher uses a google form by sending it through the whatsapp
application and email. The results of the study show that respondents know the
existence of IBS and have certain reasons for not using IBS in their construction
projects.

SYNOPSIS

The lack of conventional construction materials is a result of the construction
industry's rapid growth. In the current scenario, the high cost of traditional
construction materials is a significant issue that affects the delivery of housing in
Malaysia. Therefore, this has encouraged research to use alternative materials.
So, this study is needed to find the alternative materials in optimum ratio as
partial replacement of cement and fine aggregate due to environmental issues,
waste disposal and the high demands in the traditional materials. The aim of this
study is to produce a concrete mixed with gypsum, rice husk ash and chopped
glass fibres as partial replacement materials for cement and fine aggregate.
There were two samples with different percentages of different materials used to
replace cement and fine aggregate. Hence, the first sample contains 10% of rice
husk ash replacing cement and 5% of chopped glass fibres replacing fine
aggregate. Moreover, the second sample was 40% gypsum replacing cement.
Then, the weight, water absorption and compressive strength are compared
between the partial substitute concrete and the standard concrete. The results
that we got, there are significant differences between the samples that we
produced with the mixed materials if compared to the control samples that we
produced. This might be because the percentage of the substitute materials are
not suitable. In conclusion, further research is advised before this materials can
be regarded as a workable substitute for conventional concrete.

SYNOPSIS

The asphalt layer is one of the road layers located at the surface layer. It is often
receives high weight and pressure from vehicles. Water absorption from surface
layer will invites more road defects. Polydimethylsiloxane is a hydrophobic
material that can prevent water absorption. This material also can be found in
the special type of sand called kinetic sand. This study is to produce asphalt mix
using kinetic sand as replacement material to determine whether it can increase
the specification and to add more variety of road types. This study was carried
out by replacing the original material (quarry dust) with a foreign material which
is kinetic sand as a replacement material to be used as an added value to the
road structure. The value of the percentage of replacement material taken is
25%, 50% and 75% of the total percentage of quarry dust. These values ​are as
initial values ​taken as initial estimates. This study was conducted by following the
steps that have been set by the authorities and tested using Marshall stability
test. This study results show that the data is not that much different and lower
than the standard parameter. The optimum value for the percentage of kinetic
sand that can be used as substitute is 25% and below. In overall, the objective of
this study has been achieved by completing all the objective in this study. This
study also did not end here as the results are not the overall result. This study
should be studied in more depth for the next researcher to determine the
intended and satisfying result.

SYNOPSIS

The purpose of this project is to design and produce new celling in market using
aluminum. Ceiling in the market have a few of problem such as moldy ceiling.
Moldy ceiling can cause a skin infection because fungus can life in the ceiling.
Based on the data recorded demand on air-condition in increase year by year
and International Energy Agency expected in 2050, 5.6 billion will use air-
condition. We do this project based on problem statement that we got on the site.
We try to add waterproofing material and coted a ceiling using aluminum to
make Aluminum coted waterproof ceiling. Waterproofing material is to reduce
water absorption in the ceiling and aluminum is to reduce heat absorption.
Guideline to use waterproofing material is 10% but we try to use more than 10% to
look forward what is the reaction and the result. The objective is trying to reduce
water absorption and heat absorption. The test for this project is water

SYNOPSIS

This project and study are about the initiative that has been done because floods
occur in some areas when the flood season comes and cause water enters their
homes resulting in property damage. Then the initiative is to make an innovation
of the flood barrier that will be installed and planted in front of the house. This is
Next, why this project needs to be carried out, or done is it to upgrade or
innovate water barrier devices to facilitate and reduce the human workload to
solve the problem of flood water entering the house consciously or not Then, with
flood barrier innovation, problems like the entry of dirty floodwater into the
house can be avoided and problems like property damage can also be reduced if
every house is installed with the same device. Also, the new method that will be
used to solve this problem is the installation of a flood barrier that will work with
the flood water pressure itself. This flood barrier device is seen to be on the
market but the flood barrier device sold on average needs to be installed when
there is a flood the flood barrier device that we want to create will work on its
own when the water pressure enters the hole provided to raise the pressure it
also does not involve electrical energy. In conclusion, this design is very suitable in
this day because there are users who cannot anticipate the event of a flood and
may not have time to prepare compared to this simple flood prevention device.
The whole prototype design of the project is a width of 35cm, a length is 31cm, a
height is 68cm then the thickness of the barrier 2cm the width is 31cm and a height
is 61cm. when the test has been done, the result of this project is the cover of a
hole flood barrier is broken because the quantity of water which is 76.16 liter
cannot be accommodated which is the quantity is related to the volume. Then,
the quantity of water when the hole broke is only 47.04 liter. Finally, the
improvement that needs to be done is to improve the quality of materials which is
the more qualities of the cover hole to improve the strange and can withstand
water pressure.

SYNOPSIS

An great source of water for usage both inside and outside the home is rainwater
that has been properly collected and stored. Utilizing rainwater for indoor non-
potable water usage, irrigation, watering plants, and/or providing potable water
can all be done. Frequent hot weather and the problem of absence of water in
the state of Selangor resulted in most plants becoming dead. Therefore, this
problem can be overcome if implementing rainwater harvesting for the use of
crop flushing can be one of the other initiatives to replace the use of clean water
supply in Sabak Bernam, Selangor, especially during the absence of water or
disruption of clean water supply. The purpose of this study is to achieve the main
objective of designing a prototype of rainwater harvesting for the use of rooftop
watering plants and to determine the quality standards of rainwater harvesting
for watering crops after the filtration process in accordance with Water Quality
Standards. Among the water tests performed on the parameters are pH and
chemical oxygen demand (COD) test and the test result for unfiltered rainwater
pH is 6.07 while for filtered rainwater is 6.39. Next for the COD test for filtered
water is 12.3. We have made two filters, for the first filter we add coconut coir
only while for the second filter we add coconut coir and charcoal. After doing the
test we found that the second filter is better. Rainwater samples are collected at
the compound of Jalan Seri Jaya, Sabak Bernam, Selangor.

SYNOPSIS

Water is an important source of people's daily needs. Rainwater is also one of the
sources of clean water for humans. In polytechnics, there are many types of waqf
with different types of forms and facilities for the convenience of students. There
is also a waqf that provides the Rainwater Harvesting System, but the water
collected in the tank is not clean. This is because the contents of the rainwater
included in it are chemicals of nature. Among the chemical content found in
rainwater are water vapor or H20, carbon (silica and fly ash in the form of light
ash), nitrate acid, sulfate acid, and salt which can have health effects. Therefore,
this problem can be overcome if the water filtering system is implemented to
replace the rainwater source through the implementation of a filtering water
system to rainwater filtered into a source of clean water. The aim of this study
was to achieve the following goal of building a water filtering prototype,
comparing the quality of rainwater before and after filtering, and determining
the pH, temperature, and turbidity of water.

SYNOPSIS

The production of bricks using used tires as a substitute for sand is a product
made for construction. There is general agreement among stakeholders that
waste tires should be better managed to conserve valuable resources and to
avoid environmental damage due to improper disposal. The objective of this
study is to produce bricks using used tire dust. Precast brick is characterized as a
composite material with high compressive strength but with low toughness. By
adding rubber to the brick in place of sand for 3%, 6% and 9%, the toughness is
improved while meeting the minimum strength requirements. A total of 24 bricks
were tested for compressive performance according to BS 3921:1985 standard
and do a water absorption test using ASTM Standard C 67. The test results
revealed that the replacement of rubber should not exceed 3% by volume of
sand, which causes an excessive reduction in compressive strength. Further
investigation showed that water absorption improved as the rubber content in
the mixture increased.

SYNOPSIS

The demand for concrete has increased since it became as main construction
material worldwide. Cement and aggregate are important materials in concrete
mixture. The continuous extraction of these natural resources will lead to
environmental degradation and thus ecological imbalance. Furthermore, trends in
concrete technology are currently directed toward searching for alternative
sustainable materials in order to minimize over reliance on natural resources.
Therefore, this study is carried out to produce a concrete mixed with rice husk ash
and coconut shell as a partial replacement material for cement and coarse
aggregate respectively. The concrete mix ratio is 1:2:4 (cement: fine aggregate:
coarse aggregate) for grade 20. Rice husk ash replaced 10% and 20% of cement
by weight. While the coconut shell replaced 5% and 10% of coarse aggregate by
weight. The workability (slump test), water absorption and compressive strength
of samples have been tested. The result show that all the samples have low water
absorption value where is less than 8% according to JKR Standard Specification
(2014). The control sample have achieved a good compressive strength compare
to other samples where it is more than 20 N/mm². However, among the partial
replacement material concrete show that the sample with 10% rice husk ash and
5% coconut shell has obtained highest compressive strength where it is 15 N/mm²
at 28-days.

SYNOPSIS

Innovation of Mortar Leveller is a tool that serves to level the mortar on a brick surface
uniformly. The product is suitable to be used for bricklaying work and does not emit
much energy in the process of levelling the mortar. A situation that can be seen that
often occurs when working on brickwork is the difficulty of levelling the mortar of the
same thickness on the surface of the brick. The method currently adopted is to level only
with the use of trowel. Among the main problems faced before this innovation was
introduced was the longer time required for the work of bricklaying, the result of uneven
thickness on each brick surface and the pain in the waist and hands that occurred
because the user had to bend the body to carry out the bricklaying works. The main
objective of this study is to design a tool that can speed up the process of fastening
bricks compared to the existing manual method. In addition, reducing the user's energy
consumption, not using a relatively long time to level the mortar and can avoid the risk
of injury in order to be more secured. Apart from that, among the tests carried out to see
the effectiveness of this innovation tool are bricklaying times and wall height.
Construction workers, especially in the field of bricklaying work, have been selected to
carry out these tests. A set of questionnaires has also been given to support the findings.
As a results, the average time taken for the trowel method is 4.33 minutes. it’s to prepare
four layers of bricklaying while the time taken for each layer is 4.12, 4.45, 4.35 and 4.39
minutes. In addition, the time taken for each layer using the mortar leveller method is
3.24, 2.22, 2.24 and 2.3 minute and the overall average for this mortar leveller method is
2.5 minutes. Furthermore the target for the height of the wall is 300 meters. The wall
height for each layer for the trowel method is 73, 135, 207 and 285 meters. Next, the
height of the wall for each layer using mortar leveller is 75,154,230 and 300 meters. The
conclusion for the end of this study is that mortar leveller can reduce waste material.
This statement can be supported by analysing the height of the wall. The target for the
height of the wall for the whole is 300 meters. The height that has been reached for the
use of trowel and mortar leveller is 285 and 300. This it is clear that the mortar leveller is
more accurate to level the mortar to each brick layer uniformly.

SYNOPSIS

In this study, the use of bricks and cement has become a key ingredient in the
construction industry in Malaysia. A cement brick is made from a mixture of
cement, sand, and water. There are a lot of building materials that are used in
construction. To protect the environment and ecosystems and make
development more sustainable, many researchers have considered the utilization
of plastic waste materials in brick production. The number of building materials
used in the construction industry has increased as a result of natural population
expansion. As the demand for building materials such as red bricks increased, so
does the demand for concrete brick as an alternative construction material for
making brick walls to replace red brick. Non-biodegradable waste materials
contribute to environmental problems by causing a waste disposal disaster.
Plastic waste has become hazardous to the environment and difficult to recycle.
The rapid growth of the construction industry today has compelled civil engineers
to look for more efficient and long-lasting alternatives that go far beyond the
limitations of conventional brick production. A total of four different HDPE plastic
waste percentages were used: 0% (controlled brick), 3%, 5%, and 7%. The tests
were carried out on various percentages of displacement sand brick to
investigate its compressive strength and initial water absorption rate. Both tests
will take place on the 7th and 28th. Based on the results, the compressive
strength test on day 28 with 0% HDPE produced a result of 10.4 N/mm2, while the
replacement with 3% HDPE yielded a value of 9.5 N/mm2. A 5% HDPE replacement
yields a value of 10.5 N/mm2, while a 7% HDPE replacement yields a value of 9.5
N/mm2. Overall, this should be the best combination with respect to compressive
strength.

SYNOPSIS

Water is a gaseous, liquid, or solid substance made up of the chemical elements
hydrogen and oxygen. It can exist in three states which are gaseous, liquid, and
solid. It is one of the most abundant and necessary chemicals. At room
temperature, it is a tasteless and odourless liquid with the critical capacity to
dissolve a wide range of other compounds. Water's versatility as a solvent is
critical to the survival of living creatures. Water appears colorless in little
amounts. However, water is an essential renewable resource for all kinds of life,
food production, economic growth, and overall well-being. All of these
characteristics make water extremely helpful to humans (Singh, R.M, and Gupta,
2017). One of the most important environmental problems is surface water
pollution. Organic pollution primarily leads to high organic content in aquatic
ecosystems and, in the long run, eutrophication, which are two forms of
substantial and long-term pollution issues that can then be found globally. Algae
also can grow in water fish tanks and be harmful to fish. The algae growth is
influenced by the high value of ammonia and nutrient content such as nitrate.
Bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3), which are then
utilised by plants. The most common types of nitrogen in aquatic systems are
nitrate and ammonia (Krichen et al., 2019).This study was aimed to reduce the
amount of nutrient content using a veggie filter that can help algae growth in
water fish tank. In the study, three parameters were tested which are ammonia,
nitrite, and color. The samples were tested in a laboratory at Sultan Iris Shah
Polytechnic. plants such as water celery can help to absorb nutrient content from
water to reduce algae. The nitrogen cycle occurs in water fish tanks that can
produce ammonia and then nitrate removed by plants and water changes.

SYNOPSIS

Coagulants are mainly used in wastewater treatment for turbidity and organic
matter removal. Chemical coagulants that are used in the industrial wastewater
treatment process may produce hazardous and toxic sludge which has a negative
impact on the ecosystem. To overcome this problem many studies were done to
substitute chemical coagulant with natural material as coagulant for the
wastewater treatment process. This study aims to produce natural coagulants
from chia seed, cactus , banana stem and aloe vera for the treatment of plastic
pallet industrial wastewater. This study also aims to determine the effectiveness
of natural coagulants based on the percentage removal of turbidity. Many series
of jar test experiments were done to indicate the most efficient natural
coagulant for removal of turbidity. Based on the result , all natural coagulant in
this study have potential to remove turbidity with different efficiency.

SYNOPSIS

Pollution is the release of hazardous materials into the environment. These
hazardous materials are referred to as pollutants. Pollutants may be naturally
occurring, such as volcanic ash. They can also be caused by human activity, such
as factory runoff or trash. Pollutants have a negative impact on the quality of the
air, water, and land. Many things that are useful to people pollute the
environment.Pollution is a worldwide issue. Although urban areas are typically
more polluted than rural areas, pollution can spread to remote locations where
no people live. Based on the objective that have been chosen, this study was
about the environment at two different locations which was Telok Gong and
Pandamaran, Port Klang, Selangor. The objective have been achieved by
collecting the feedback from questionnaires. Furthermore, the household in these
two locations who are willing to do a prevention steps to reduce environmental
pollution was identified. In addition, the awareness among the population in this
two study area was identified. Finally, the questionnaires that have been
answered have increased the awareness among the population in the study area.

SYNOPSIS

Noise from construction activities is a common problem everywhere and the most
important fact that cannot be eliminated. A significant and adverse effect of this
continuous construction is the increased level of noise pollution, especially around
the construction site. However, it can be reduced with good noise management
especially in early planning. Nowadays, construction operations have many
harmful consequences for the environment and people. Such effects are harmful
to the environment and human health, and they must be stopped. This noise
pollution study was conducted in the Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnic area and the
noise level monitoring study only focused on the student dormitory block. The
main objective of this project is to monitor the noise level at the construction site
according to the Standards of the Department of Environment (DOE) and get
feedback from PSIS students who are in the residential college about the level of
noise pollution. A total of 320 respondents are required and the data obtained
from this study is from sampling, survey questionnaires, and interviews. Noise
pollution is one of the environmental consequences assessed in this study. In
addition, this research also focuses on the use of Sound Level Meters to measure
noise levels at construction sites in PSIS. Data collection for this study is taken at
a certain distance. At the end of this study, it is hoped that the noise problem due
to construction can be controlled so that it does not have a negative impact on
the residents and students in the surrounding area.

SYNOPSIS

Water pollution and issues regarding water pollution have been the talk of the
show since forever but the problems seem to worsen despite the different kinds
of solutions due to the never-ending human activities. As the city water
infrastructure deteriorates, treatment plants have been the main focus for
engineers to treat wastewater. With that being said, there are a lot of attempts
involving low-tech, simple solutions that use everyday materials to help ensure
the community's health and safety. However, this research will be highlighting the
potential utilizing durian and also orange peels as coagulants for water
treatment. The objectives of this research are to investigate the efficiency of
orange and durian peels as coagulants, an initiative to create a more natural way
to treat water. Other than that, this research is to help compare the effectiveness
between the common coagulants used which are alum with the created natural
coagulants. The source of the water sample was taken at the drainage channel
from the café admin of Polytechnic Sultan Idris Shah. The results demonstrated
that using orange and durian peels as a new composite coagulant in water
treatment is a viable option for improving turbidity reduction performance.
Furthermore, the use of this natural coagulant can reduce the health risks
associated with long-term use of chemical coagulants while also reducing the
amount of chemical sludge product released into the environment.

SYNOPSIS

Plastic waste has become one of the greatest threats to ecosystem because it is
so pervasive and persistent in the marine environment. Microplastics, on the other
hand, have emerged as a major global environmental concern in recent decades
as a result of their prevalence in the oceans, bioavailability, and propensity to
transport toxic chemicals. This project addresses the study of microplastics in the
water and sediment sample at Sabak Bernam district. Analysis of microplastics in
environment and scientific materials is becoming more widespread. The purpose
of the study is to identify the presence of microplastic in the seawater surface
and marine sediment and to identify the comparison of the presence of
microplastic in three different beaches at Sabak Bernam district. The water
sample and beach sand sediment were collected from Pantai Sungai Lang, Pantai
Sungai Burung and Pantai Bagan Nakhoda Omar. The presence of microplastics
were identified using several methods such as sieving, wet peroxide oxidation,
density separation and microscope exam. Based on the analysis, microplastic
particles were identified in the samples collected from the beaches. Moreover,
this result is acceptable as there were evidences of so many plastics found along
the marine environment at all the three beaches. In conclusion, microplastics are
everywhere in the marine environment and these plastic debris can cause serious
harm to the environment and humans in the long term.

SYNOPSIS

Water is a substance that is very necessary for all living things to use in daily life.
Water can flow from any source, such as rivers, lakes, and others. Waste water
from manufacturing and industrial operations such as food processing or metal
refining is industrial or trade waste. This includes liquid waste from any process,
such as water used to cool machinery or clean plants and equipment.
Stormwater, a form of wastewater, is runoff that flows from agricultural and
urban areas such as roofs, parks, gardens, roads, paths, and gutters into
stormwater drains after rain. Stormwater flows untreated directly to local creeks
or rivers, eventually reaching the ocean. Other than that, biological treatment is
termed "secondary treatment." Chemical treatment, or tertiary treatment, using
chemical materials will react with a portion of the undesirable chemicals and
heavy metals, but a portion of the polluting material will remain unaffected.
Additionally, the cost of chemical additives and the environmental problem of
disposing of large amounts of chemical sludge make this treatment process
deficient. The problem statement for this case study is that pollution from various
sources has compromised the effluent water quality at the PSS Water Treatment
Plant, and the second problem statement is that the water quality at PSIS's lake
was contaminated due to the discharge of the drainage system. In this study, the
parameters used to test waste water are hydrogen capacity (pH), total
suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, ammonia nitrogen, and chemical oxygen
demand (COD).
