Project Background

Sri Hartamas, a growing urban hub in Kuala Lumpur, has experienced significant residential and commercial development in recent years. This rapid expansion has placed increasing pressure on the existing sewerage infrastructure, which was no longer capable of efficiently managing the rising volume of wastewater.

To address these challenges and ensure long-term environmental sustainability, the government, through the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) and the Department of Sewerage Services (JPP)—initiated a plan to modernize the region’s wastewater treatment system.The STP Sri Hartamas project was introduced as a forward-looking solution to meet future demands while adhering to stringent environmental standards.

The implementation of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology was selected for its proven efficiency, smaller land footprint, and ability to produce high-quality treated water suitable for discharge or reuse.As the first of its kind in Malaysia, this project not only solves existing infrastructure limitations but also sets a benchmark for future sewerage systems nationwide. It aligns with the country’s broader vision for sustainable urban development, smart city planning, and the protection of water resources.
