In Malaysia, river water -
the main source of water supply Drinking water - treated by the water
treatment plant
.
Aluminum Sulfate (Alum) - used
in water
treatment widely.
Negative Impact of Alum - Parkinson
and Alzheimer’s
disease and produce hazardous toxics waste due to Aluminum sludgeNeed for alternative way to treat water

Project Description PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Objectives: To transfer knowledge on application of biopolymer (based on
AFlavus
) to treat river water.
To create awareness, and promote adoption of, green and environmentally-friendly products
To show the superior efficacy of UPM’s A
Flavus
product in providing high water quality.
Methodology:
Design mini plant for treating water
Training program with Industry
Evaluation program on effectiveness
of biopolymer to treat water
Water Treatment using fungi based polymer – no chemicals BENEFIT: Easy to produce locally Low cost process 100% natural - No toxic sludge Able to treat pond and river water5Slide6

A site visit has been carried out by PMT Group staff to identified the most suitable location to locate the biopolymer and pilot plant on 13th and 15th December 2011.
A design group meeting was carried out between UPM – PMT Group in the months February 2012 and April 2012.
Water sampling has been carried out on 16
th January 2012 and 8th February 2012 at 5 locations. The samples for all locations had been sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Site Visit has been carried out on 31
st
January 2012 at Puncak Niaga Water Treatment Plant of Sg. Langat. A view inside the water treatment pilot plant showing the rapid mixing tank, coagulation and the floculation tank

The industrial partner (PMT) gets transfer of tech - new method of treating water.Company’s adoption of green
product in their business and services.The product
has created value added image to company –more competitive and open new venture.
The strong ties between UPM-Industry enabled partnership with Local Authorities (MPSJ) to use the new product.

Impacts to Graduate TrainingIMPACTS TO GRADUATE TRAINING
2 postgraduate students are involved in the real world and current issues related with water
treatment (1 PHD and I Master).
The application of technology will be made in the practical sessions, sharing experience in design , construction and operation of water treatment
plant
A demo unit pilot
