Selangor to revive Bukit Jelutong water plant for membrane technology



KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 The Selangor supervision currently voiced skeleton to revive a now-defunct 1963-built Bukit Jelutong H2O diagnosis plant as a pioneer plan for a proposed "membrane technology" which a sovereign supervision has snubbed, estimating to progress a state's treated with colour H2O prolongation by an one more 100 million litres daily.
In a matter here, state senior manager councillor Dr Xavier Jayakumar pronounced a price of rehabilitating as well as repair a plant is estimated during in in between RM50 million as well as RM80 million as well as reparatory works should be finished inside of six months.
The state government, he added, will bear a full price of construction.
"The state supervision has directed a expert firm to complete a investigate of a plant inside of dual months, as well as to include an evaluation by a Macro as well as Privatisation section of a Selangor Economic Planning Unit (EPU)," he pronounced in a matter here after visiting a plant in Section 13, Shah Alam, today.
Jayakumar pronounced which once completed, a plant should produce in in between 50 million as well as 100 million litres of treated with colour H2O daily, which he pronounced should be sufficiently make up for half a H2O needs of Shah Alam folk.
"This is between a Selangor government's efforts to seek alternative H2O sources, as well as implement new technology in sequence to provide sufficient treated with colour H2O to a adults of Selangor," he said.
The Bukit Jelutong H2O diagnosis plant was built in 1963 as well as was sealed in early 1995 due to a soiled segment in a H2O sourced from a Damansara river.
The Pakatan Rakyat-led (PR) Selangor supervision has been sealed in a protracted dispute over destiny skeleton for H2O management in a state, expected a vital campaign is! sue when polls have been hold soon.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) sovereign supervision has been notice of an imminent H2O shortage, which it progressing claimed could arrive as shortly as 2014 though later revised to 2017.
It has also pulpy on with skeleton to construct a RM3 billion Langat 2 plant, which will provide H2O from Pahang, though BN's political foes in PR have insisted which this is not a many appropriate or many economically viable alternative.
Instead, PR has referred to to make make make use of of of a "membrane technology" to progress H2O prolongation during existent plants during a fragment of a price during usually RM800 million, saying this would be a cheapest choice to reduce stream fears of an imminent H2O crisis.
But in Parliament yesterday, Putrajaya again refused to back down from a Langat 2 skeleton dogmatic which it was a many appropriate choice to prevent what it says will be an imminent H2O necessity in a country's richest state.
Deputy Energy, Green Technology as well as Water Minister Datuk Noriah Kasnon told a Dewan Rakyat which a Selangor government's proposed alternative to make make make use of of of a "membrane technology" during existent H2O plants might usually progress prolongation in a reduced tenure though might not encounter a state's long-term projection.
"Additionally, if there is need to upgrade a existent plant in sequence to make make make use of of of this surface technology, we think a price would be high," she pronounced when replying to Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau) during Question Time.
"We proposed our investigate given a late 1990s as well as we have distributed all possibilities.
"The sovereign supervision has already done a preference which a many economic as well as viable choice is by transferring H2O from Pahang to Selangor," she said.
The argumentative Langat 2 plant, which a Selangor Pakatan Rakyat (PR) have been dynamic to reject, ! will pro vide H2O brought in from Pahang as well as is expected to produce some 1.3 million litres of H2O daily.
But when rebutting Noriah, Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim pointed out to a Dewan Rakyat which there was no need for a Langat 2 plant as a state's stream prolongation of treated with colour H2O is already during five million litres a day.
He explained which a state also records non-revenue H2O (NRW) wastage of 1.5 million daily, which distant surpasses a 1.3 million litres to be produced by Langat 2.
"In my research, a price of upgrading our 10 of twenty-seven diagnosis plants usually comes up to RM800 million... compared to a RM3 billion for Langat 2," he said.
