| description | Sewage treatment plant (STP) is a facility designed to treat wastewater. It helps to reduce the concentration
of pollutant prior to release to the environment. Efficient and effective management of STP is very important
nowadays. Late in decision making or overcoming operational problem might incur high repairing cost which
in the end will badly effect the organization. GIS is a tool that has good potential in improving the
management issue of the treatment plant. The system offers a better way to handle all information related to
STP and at the same time provides a geographic context for the facilities. ArcGIS is a software developed by
ESRI, was used in this project to show location of all STP in IIUM. Other relevant information was also
stored such as number of population in mahallah and flow rate of wastewater from mahallah. Some options
were highlighted to improve the management of sewage sludge with composting was highlighted as the
suggested method. Finally, the performance of STP was discussed and some recommendations were given for
future work. |
