0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is conducting the pro-ject “Integrated Resource Management in Asian Cities – The Urban Nexus”, financed by the Federal German Ministry of Cooperation and Economic Development (BMZ). The Urban Nexus Project started in 2013 over a period of 3 years. The follow up phase started in 2016 to come to an end by December 2018. The Asian partners are provided with technical advice on urban planning and development approaches that include the interrelations and synergies of the sectors: water, energy and food security such as secure water supply and sanitation systems, energy security and efficiency, land use, physical planning and food security. Tanjungpinang Municipality expressed their interest in the technology and requested the GIZ Nexus project to conduct a study on waste water collection and treatment in the coastal set-tlement of Senggarang (Subdistrict). The key characteristic of this settlement is that most the buildings are located on the sea on stilts; however, there has not been an establishment of a suitable sewer system yet. The study demonstrated potentials of the vacuum sewerage sys-tem for improvement of sanitation systems in the settlement. On this basis, a team of the Research Institute for Water and Waste Management at the RWTH Aachen University and of the Environmental Engineering Department of the Universi-tas TanjungPura conducted a study in September 2016 on the wastewater management in-cluding sewerage and treatment in Senggarang. It was stated that the vacuum sewerage system is the most feasible technology to collect domestic wastewater from houses on stilts. It was found that the physical conditions in Senggarang are feasible to build a wastewater treatment plant in a feasible distance. The team recommends using a multi-stage wastewater treatment process, consisting of a curved sieve to separate coarse materials, an anaerobic rector with the option to produce biogas, an aerobic trickling filter, and a sedimentation basin to separate solids from the treat-ed wastewater. The design of wwtp is selected to produce treated water that can be reused as new water resource for irrigation or raw water supply enrichment. The team has selected the design presented in such way that the capacity of the wwtp can easily be doubled by optimization of the reactors and modification of the operation modus
It is recommended that the project development is supported by accompanying methods,
such as training in wwtp operation and sewer maintenance.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit German Agency for Inter-national Cooperation (GIZ) is conducting the project “Integrated Resource Management in Asian Cities – The Urban Nexus”, financed by the Federal German Ministry of Cooperation and Economic Development (BMZ). The Urban Nexus Project started in 2013 over a period of 3 years. The follow up phase started in 2016 to come to an end by December 2018. The Asian partners are provided with technical advice on urban planning and development ap-proaches that include the interrelations and synergies of the sectors: water, energy and food security such as secure water supply and sanitation systems, energy security and efficiency, land use, physical planning and food security. The GIZ Nexus team explored the vacuum sewerage system apt for flat terrain and high groundwater tables encompassing flexible routing and fluctuating usage. The GIZ Nexus, therefore, initiated vacuum sewerage technical training to improve the perspectives of sus-tainable wastewater management of the project’s partner cities. In February 2015, municipal officers from Tanjungpinang (Indonesia) attended the training in Bangkok with the objective of understanding the principle of vacuum sewerage technology and exploring opportunities for effective implementation of vacuum sewerage systems within local infrastructure.
Tanjungpinang Municipality expressed their interest in the technology and requested the GIZ Nexus project to conduct a study on waste water collection and treatment in the coastal set-tlement of Senggarang (Subdistrict). The key characteristic of this settlement is that most the buildings are located on the sea on stilts; however, there has not been an establishment of a suitable sewer system yet. The study demonstrated potentials of the vacuum sewerage sys-tem for improvement of sanitation systems in the settlement.
Results and findings are summarized in the Preliminary Study on Vacuum Sewer Systems – Pilot Project Area – Coastal Settlement of Senggarang, Tanjungpinang, Indonesia, August 2015, implemented by GIZ. In July 2016 on behalf of GIZ, a study was commissioned to develop innovative semi and decentralized solutions for the treatment of domestic (municipal) wastewater regarding water reuse options and energy saving option for the pilot area Senggarang in Tanjungpinang. Topics of this study are
Analysis and assessment of the findings of the preliminary study “Senggarang”
Development of appropriate, innovative, semi and decentralized solutions for the treatment of municipal wastewater regarding options for the generation of alternative water resources, water reuse
The consultancy comprised a preparatory work phase in Germany, a short-term mission of an international and national expert team from October 3 to October 10, 2016 in Tanjung Pinang, and an assessment work phase afterwards. On February 8, 2017, preliminary results of the study were presented to Mr Surjadi, head of BAPPEDA in Tanjung Pinang and his staff in the presence of the GIZ Urban Nexus Project. .

2 FINDINGS
General findings, geographical, climate, administrative features are described in the Chapter 2 “Rationale: Performance, problems, and opportunities in the Preliminary Study on Vacuum Sewer System, August 2015. In this report, additional findings are summarized that give up-dated and new information on the water supply and wastewater management of the pilot area around the Senggarang village.
2.1 Geography, climate
Geographically, Tanjungpinang is situated on Bintan Island where the position is between 0° 51 'North latitude up to 0° 59' North latitude and 104° 23 'East longitude up to 104° 34' East longitude, with an area of approximately 239.5 km2 consisting of land area of 131.54 km² and water area of 107.96 km².Tanjungpinang is located at an altitude of 0-70 m. above sea level and has the characteristics of hills, plains, swamps and mangrove forests. The conditions of the soils are classified as unsuitable for agriculture and plantations because of a red and yellow ground soil structure containing bauxite, an aluminum ore with high acidity. The soils also consist of granite, diorite and sandstone which formed rocky-hilly areas.
Figure 2-1 Aerial views of Bintan Island [Photos by author, 2016]
The surface cover of Bintan Island is widely modified due to bauxite mining activities and new settlement foundations. As these infrastructural works didn’t use environmentally friendly protection standards, the surface waters, such as rivers and lakes are widely affected by the mobilized red-soils from the construction sites. According to an interview at the UMRAH Uni-versity, the seawater resources and seawater banks are polluted by various sources, gener-ated on the Bintan Island. The coastal environment around the Senggarang village is degraded and polluted by floating debris that mainly generated in the village itself, but also arriving from the neighboring villag-es (Kampung Bugis).

Air temperature The average air temperature is 27.2 °C (Maximum at 33.0 °C, minimum at 22.0 °C), meas-ured as average of the years 2013 – 2015. The pattern of temperature of this period shows a balanced process between rainy and dry season. (Info: The temperature is the decisive fac-tor influencing the speed of process in the biological wastewater treatment.)
Figure 2-3 Monthly minimum, maximum and average air temperature in TanjungPinang
district in 2013, 2014, 2015
Rainfall The average rainfall is 242 mm/month, measured as average of the years 2013 - 2015. The pattern of the rainfall data of this period shows an irregular distributed, indicating no clear dry or wet season. There is a decreasing trend and irregularities in the rainfall data. There is no clear definition into a dry and wet season. (Info: Due to the irregularity, there should be taken pre-caution measures to bridge the gap, when no water will be available and the water sup-ply might be disrupted.)
Figure 2-4 Monthly rainfall in TanjungPinang district in 2013, 2014, 2015
High tide and storm events The maximal tidal range in Tanjungpinang is 2.25 m (7.4 ft). The period between spring tides is 24 to 32 days. The average range in the (randomly chosen) period between 14 and 21 February 2017 is about 0.76 m.

Figure 2-5 High tide and low tide in TanjungPinang district in 14 -22 Feb 2017 At spring tide the floors of the seawards lying houses in Senggarang become submerged. (Info: The tidal range will limit the time for construction of the collection chambers under the floors of houses and the easy access in case of emergency, when e.g. the chamber outlet is clogged.) The collection chambers and the control devices, such as vacuum valves should be resistant to get submerged by seawater. The bottoms of chambers might be completely under water.
Figure 2-6 Seawards lying house in Senggarang during spring tide (Photo taken by Pak
Jimmy, RT 1)
The inhabitants of Senggarang reported about one to three heavy storms per year, causing heavy wave movements with destructive power in the seashore zone, destroying gangways and pipe connections. (Info: The vacuum sewer lines should be firmly fixed and protected against strong wave movements, particularly in the seashore zone.)

2.3 Water Management in Senggarang
2.3.1 Water supply The water delivery by boat from a private distributor is still practiced, delivering extra water during the dry season. The public community well at RW IV / RT 2 is still extensively used by the community RW IV/RT 2 using 20 private water pumps while the community of RW II and RW 1 are using a delivery service by a private vendor.
Figure 2-11 Water delivery boat (left), community well with 20 water pumps and vendor
service (right) [Photos taken by author, 2016]
Compared with the findings of the preliminary study of August 2015, some improvements are observed. With financial means from the central government programme (Public works pro-gramme), a public water supply system was established and set into operation. The system consists
a water collection,
a water treatment plant (WTP),
a piped water distribution and metering system.
Water from a natural pond, which is mainly re-filled by rainwater, is pumped by solar cell-powered two water pumps to a water treatment plant located uphill of the Senggarang village, west of the UMRAH university campus area. The WTP consists of a storage tank and a rapid sand filtration unit. From the WTP the water is led by a gravity transfer pipeline to Senggarang from where the water pipelines are connected to 280 households (SR, sambun-gan rumah).

2.3.2 Drainage and Wastewater treatment
Sanitation facilities and the sewerage system are described in the preliminary study, 2015. The wastewater from the houses at the jetties is directly dumped into the sea. The wastewater from the houses on the ground is led into septic tanks under the floor of the houses. The septic tank overflows flow via open drains directly into the sea.

site
No records on the maintenance of the septic tanks are available. No improvement of the management of the floating debris clogging the drains was seen compared with the condi-tions in 2015.
2.3.3 Rainwater collection
Rainwater is occasionally collected at some houses, using plastic buckets to collect the run-off from roofs of houses. A structured rainwater collection system in Senggarang is not in-stalled.

2.4 Analysis of key sanitary problems and opportunities
Compared with the findings of the survey in August 2015, there is some progress in the pub-lic water supply system. Yet, the infrastructural works for a functional water and wastewater management in Senggarang are still limited.
There are new infrastructural developments for the improvement of the public water supply system. A WTP with a capacity of 2.5 l/s and a pipe distribution network with 280 house con-nections (SR) are installed. As the system is newly installed, records of maintenance and operation are not available. According to the supervising personal, the water supply pumps don’t reach their designed capacity as the solar power delivered by the solar panels installed are not sufficient during cloudy days. Furthermore, community members have indicated that there will likely be shortages of raw water pumped from the pond during dry seasons. A satis-faction survey in Senggarang was not conducted. The municipality of Tanjungpinang plans a second development phase to connect additional 80 houses more and to increase the raw water intake by installing a groundwater well, which will be located on the WTP ground. The well will be 160 meters deep, a submerged pump (GRUNDFOS) will be installed in a depth of 100 meters to supply additional 1.5 l/s ground-water as raw water. On the land part, a drainage system is partly existing, but widely clogged by debris. The houses on jetties have no drains. Conventional drains using gravity flow were tested, but failed due to the low height difference between the houses and the discharge point.

A vacuum sewer system is selected as wastewater collection system.
The vacuum sewer system is the most appropriate collection system as this system can be operated in environments where no gravity slope between the points of discharge and transfer is available. Recent references on vacuum sewer systems are Maledives, [Bilfingers Water, 2016] and Danang, Vietman [Bilfinger Water, 2016].
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang

A combination of an anaerobic and an aerobic wastewater treatment is proposed as a wastewater treatment system.
The wastewater management system operates as follows:
1. Wastewater (faeces) is drained by gravity from the toilets and wastewater sinks of the
houses to a small vacuum collection chamber, installed under the house floor
2. Theses collection chambers serve as an interim storage (interface) between the gravity pipe from the houses and the vacuum sewer network.
3. The wastewater is collected in the sump of the chamber. The wastewater is evacuat-ed from the sump through a membrane vacuum valve and transported through the vacuum sewer network to the big collection tank (vacuum tank) at the vacuum station. According to the filling rate of the chamber about 10 times per day the sump will be emptied.
4. It is recommended that the collection of the wastewater from the Senggarang is done in two subsequent phases. In phase one only the houses (without a septic tank) on stilts are connected. In phase two the other houses (with or without septic tank) locat-ed on the ground are connected.
5. At the vacuum station the wastewater is collected in the vacuum tank and then pumped via a pressure pipe to the wastewater treatment plant.
6. The vacuum station hosts the set of vacuum pumps that generates the vacuum pres-sure in the network, and the bio-filter that reduce the odor of the waste gas released from the vacuum tank.
7. By means of a curved screen coarse materials are separated from the wastewater stream pumped from the collection tank. The screen is placed on top of the anaerobic reactor, enabling a direct collection of the solid waste in transportable collection bins.
8. The screened wastewater is led by gravity into an anaerobic reactor that is construct-ed like an Imhoff tank with inner separating walls forming collecting chambers for the wastewater. The wastewater remains inside the reactor for about 20 days enabling a reduction of the organic materials, a separation of solids from the liquid phase and the generation of biogas. The top cover of the chambers is formed to collect digestion gas. The solids are settled down in sludge collecting chambers from where the solids are led by gravity into movable sludge containers.
9. The liquid phase is led by gravity to a trickling filter that operates as aerobic reactor. Organic materials are converted through an oxidizing process. Ammonium compo-nents are converted to nitrates as far as possible. The oxidizing process generates bio-solids.
10. The effluent from the trickling filter is led into a secondary sedimentation basin sepa-rating solids from the liquid phase. In accordance to the solid concentration and the sludge volumetric index a portion of the liquid phase and the sludge phase are pumped back into the anaerobic reactor or trickling filter. The remaining liquid phase is released as treated water ready to be used as raw water for water reuse applica-tions.
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang

11. Water reuse applications might be irrigation or water recharge into a raw water source of the Senggarang system. Further analysis is necessary to decide about the appro-priate and acceptable technology.
12. In the anaerobic process digestion gas, consisting of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphuric hydrogen (H2S), water vapour (H2O), hydrogen (H2), and other gase-ous components, is produced. As the designed size of the anaerobic digester is only about 60 m³, it is expected that the total amount of biogas is so low that it will be diffi-cult under local conditions to collect and utilize the biogas. The process should be ob-served and could be considered for a later development stage in case the waste wa-ter treatment plant is expanded to treat more wastewater, e.g., from Kampung Bugis.
Proposed location of the wastewater collection and treatment plant
The proposed wastewater management system requires land of about 30 m² for the vacuum
station and land of about 250 m² for the waste water treatment plant. In Senggarang loca-
tions for both systems could be made available. As location for the vacuum station, the
watchmen (RONDA) house and the parking space in RT 02/04 would be suitable. For the
WWTP, the area behind the Chinese cemetery in RT02/04 could be used (see Figure 3-2).

3.3 Description of the process units of the proposed wastewater management
system
3.3.1 Process units of the sewerage system
3.3.1.1 House connections, house collection chambers, connection pipes
Each house will be equipped with one collection chamber that will be mounted under floor.
The chambers are completed with a vacuum valve unit and are flood proof and seawater
resistant.

3.3.1.2 Vacuum station, Wastewater collection tank
It is proposed that the vacuum station elements are installed in the RONDA building (see
Fig.3-3). Using this building, the construction costs for a new building can be saved. The
components consist of:
Inside the RONDA building
Three vacuum pumps, each of 4 kW. The vacuum pumps will be placed in a rack.
This system can be easily extended by another additional vacuum pumps in case of a
later foreseen extension of the sewer system (Phase 2).
Air conditioner (AC) to keep the room temperate below 35 °C. An AC is less noisy
than a ventilator system.
Electrical cabinet for the control of the vacuum and wastewater pumps
Emergency generator, to provide electricity in case of interruption of the electrical
supply from outside
Outside the RONDA building
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang

One wastewater collection tank (vacuum vessel) of 7 m³ that will be located in an ex-
cavated pit next to the RONDA building. The tank will be placed so deep that later the
place can be used as parking space. Requirements: Concrete buoyancy protection,
upper concrete structure and a stainless steel cover are required.
Bio-filter unit to clean the exhaust air that will be released out of the vacuum sewer
pipeline. An active carbon filter will reduce the smelling gas components, purifying the
exhaust gas before emitting out to the environment. Requirements: The filling (special
granulate) of the active carbon filter system should be changed every 1 – 3 years,
depending on the operation of the vacuum station.

3.3.1.3 Wastewater transfer line
The waste water discharge pumps pump the wastewater from the collection tank near the
vacuum station to the wastewater treatment plant, proposed to be behind the Chinese ceme-
tery. The wastewater is pumped directly to the curved sieve of the WWTP. The total length of
the line is about 350 m.
Figure 3-6 Pressure line from collection tank to WWTP [Photo by author, 2016]
The total pressure head consists of the vacuum pressure in the chamber, the physical head
difference between chamber and WWTP, the height of the construction of the curved sieve,
and the friction losses in the pipe system.
3.3.2 Process units of the wastewater treatment system
The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consists of following main process units:
a curved screen,
an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor (type Imhoff tank),
a trickling filter (aerobic reactor) and
a secondary sedimentation.
Taking the local restrictions on the available land, these process units can be located as
shown on the layout plan (Fig.3-7).
The type of connecting pipe network between the Imhoff tank, the trickling filter and the sed-
imentation basin is chosen in such a way that one recycling pump can be saved compared
with a conventional system. This option requires a more frequent control of the recycle pro-
cess, but which can well managed by well trained professional plant operators.
The required land use is 240 m².

3.3.2.1 Removal of coarse materials by a curved screen
Wastewater from the collection chamber is directly pumped into a curved screen system. The
pre-treated wastewater is then led into the anaerobic reactor.

The coarse materials are directly dumped into a waste container. The range of daily amount
of coarse materials is expected to be between 2.3 to 6.8 m³. This solid waste should be
transported to the waste dumping site on a regular basis. Depending on the amount of waste
trucks available (See Fig. 3-9), the waste has to be transferred between once a day and
twice a week.

3.3.2.2 Anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor
As primary wastewater treatment reactor an anaerobic reactor using a sedimentation cham-
ber and a sludge digestion chamber (see Figure 3-10) is proposed. This type of reactor is
based on the Imhoff tank design, which has been implemented many times. The organic
sludge settles in the upper chamber and slides down the inclined bottom slopes into the low-
er chamber, where it is stabilized by anaerobic processes. These processes release biogas.
The type of reactor can easily be enlarged by adding new chambers. In later steps the diges-
tion can be optimized by isolating the outer walls. The biogas that is generated in the diges-

tion chamber can be collected in gas collection chambers, which can be mounted outside of
the main reactor. In case of unsatisfactory purification rates this reactor can be optimized by
adding additional units.

It is recommended to design the anaerobic reactor and the trickling filter in such a way that
the feed-in from the anaerobic to the second reactor can be done using a gravity flow, as
realized in the example plant shown in Fig. 3-11.

3.3.2.3 Aerobic wastewater treatment by a trickling filter
Trickling filter systems are easy to construct and to operate. Wastewater is pumped up and
led through a rotating water distribution system into a round tank filled with fine gravels or
plastic elements that serve as settle media for the biomass. The tanks are flown through by
atmospheric air, delivering the necessary oxygen. Trickling filters, usable in a wide range of
COD loadings, can be used as
high loaded reactor for COD-elimination (reduction of carbonous substances)
low loaded reactor, installed after a first treatment unit as secondary treatment for ni-trification
In this application the trickling filter is used as second treatment unit to reduce carbonaceous
substances and to convert ammonium components to nitrate (nitrification).

Critical part of the trickling filter is the rotating water distributing pipe (Fig. 3-13). The pipe
should be rotating due to the jet force of the water coming out of the holes. This component
should be regularly checked.
Figure 3-13 Sketch and photos of a rotating water distribution system for trickling filters
[AWT Umwelttechnik, Eisleben GmbH, 2017]
The selection of an appropriate filter media depends on various factors. It is one of the most
expensive items for the trickling filter system. The range of cost is between 20 EURO/m³ for
lava clumps and up to 900 EURO/m³ for light-weight high-tech filter media. Depending on the
selected media, the required area and the required supporting construction vary. An appro-
priate technical solution is the application of particularly plastic stripes, which can be installed
at various densities into a reactor. It is recommended to start with a density of 200 m² stripes
/m³ reactor volume.

Design basis
Surface specific flow 1.5 m³/m²/h

Required diameter 5.0 m
The effluent of trickling filter might contain fine dispersed biological sludge, which has to be
removed from the liquid phase before the release to a natural river or to a further water reuse
application. The required diameter is five meter. A round-shaped vertically flow-through sed-
imentation basin with a cone bottom is a typical shape. The sludge is collected in on the bot-
tom from where the sludge can be pumped back to the trickling filter or to the anaerobic re-
actor. As the size of reactor is less than 6 m, no rotating scraper is required to concentrate
the sludge to the bottom storage.
Figure 3-15 Sketch of vertically flown-through sedimentation basin [Pinnekamp, 2015]
3.3.2.5 Operation building and supporting equipment
A building of about 10 m² is required to host the electrical cabinet (front length of about 2 m),
tool boxes and a work bench for small repairs on-site.
It is recommended to install solar panels to supply a minimum of electrical power by solar
energy. Additionally, a battery-back-up is recommended to bridge gaps of power outages.
The treatment plant has not to be supervised by a permanent staff, but should be controlled
on a daily basis for about 1 to 2 hours.
3.3.3 Energy consumption
The sewer system and the wastewater treatment system need a total of about 46 kW of elec-
trical power. Main energy consumers are:
Sewerage system (26 kW)
• vacuum pumps (1 phase: 3 pumps x 4 KW, 2.phase: additional 3 pumps x 4 KW):
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang
08.07.2017 31
The pumps are not operating continuously. Depending on the amount of wastewater,
which has to be pumped from the houses, the frequency is about 10 min every hour.
• air conditioning system for the vacuum station (2 KW)
Wastewater treatment system (20 kW)
• Wastewater pumps (2 x 4 KW) for wastewater pumping from VS to WWTP.
The pumps are not operating continuously. Depending on the amount of wastewater
in the collection vessel at the vacuum station, the frequency is about 20 min every
two hours.
• Wastewater recycling pumps (2 X 4 KW) for wastewater pumping from Sedimentation
basin to the anaerobic reactor or trickling filter
One pump is working continuously. On pump is discontinuously operating in de-
pendence of the sludge level in the sedimentation basin. The control can be done by
hand.
• Additional energy consumption for instrument controls, lighting system, estimated power
supply of about 4 kW.
The total electrical power supply is about 46 kW.
3.4 Cost estimation
The cost estimation is divided into two parts. Part 1 consists of the cost for the sewer system
including the wastewater transfer pump; part 2 consists of the wastewater treatment plant.
Two scenarios are considered:
In the scenario “Option stilt” the connection of the houses on stilts (250 houses) and the re-
lated wastewater treatment are regarded. It is assumed that the size of the WWTP is de-
signed to treat the maximum number of houses (380 houses).
In the scenario “Option ground” the additional connection of the houses on the ground (130
houses) is regarded. It is assumed that the WWTP is designed to treat the whole wastewater
amount without additional modifications.
3.4.1 Cost estimation of the investment
The cost estimation of the investment for the vacuum sewer system is based on the cost
calculation of the preliminary study. The costs are assumed lower than mentioned in the pre-
liminary study, as the total number of house connections was found to be smaller. Additional-
ly, the proposed use of an existing building (RONDA building in RT/RW 02/04) saves invest-
ment costs, and the distance between vacuum station and WWTP is shorter than previously
assumed.
The cost estimation for the wastewater treatment is based on equipment and construction
works, which can be purchased on the Indonesian market or which can be done by local
constructors.

Note: 1) The cost for the trickling filter media doesn’t include transport cost from Germany to
Indonesia. A transport of a 40”-container will be required. The recommended filter me-dia is an innovative material that has a light weight, can easily mount and replaced. Because of the light weight a smaller supporting structure is required compared with standard filter media. For the required volume cost savings of 15,000-20,000 EUR can be assumed compared with standard filter media.
In Indonesia, the price for high quality (high pressure strength and water tight) concrete in
Tanjungpinang is estimated around Rp. 1,200,000 per m³ (including material and labour,
excluding tax). Construction tax in total is around 14% of construction cost (which is consist
tax when buying material (PPn) and tax for labour/worker salary (PPh)).
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang

The exact costs depend on the detailed design of the treatment system, which has to be
elaborated by an Indonesian engineering company. The costs were estimated in such way
that the real costs will most likely figure slightly below the estimation.

3.4.2 Cost estimation for the operation and maintenance of the sewer and
treatment system
The cost for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the wastewater collection and treat-
ment were estimated, based on following sub-items (summarized in Table 3-4):
1. Labour cost 2. Cost for electrical consumption 3. Cost for removal and transport of the coarse materials and sludge 4. Cost for replacement of the major used materials and items.
The household specific O&M cost are based on the technical design of the option STILT,
(250 Households (the Senggarang part standing on stilts) will be connected and served.)).
Explanations to Labour cost: A total of four technicians is foreseen to operate and main-
tain both the sewer net and the wastewater treatment plant. One foreman and three service
men are foreseen. The minimum local wage of 2,358,454 IDR (UMR for Kepulauan Riau of
2017) is assumed for the estimation. The staff should be trained by the technical experts who
build the plant. Special knowledge on the operation and maintenance could be provided e.g.
by GIZ.

Explanations for the electrical consumption cost: The maximum power consumption of
all pumps and technical instruments are 46 kW. The daily run time vary from item to item.
The vacuum pumps and the wastewater transfer pumps of the vacuum sewer system are
designed to run for about 25 % per day (25 % of 24 h). The wastewater treatment will oper-
ate continuously. A work load rate of 100 % is assumed for the estimation.
The tariff for the electrical consumption on Bintan Island is 1250 IDR/kWh [Information of
PLN, 2017]
The estimated monthly O&M cost per household connection for the sewer and treatment
system, expressed in IDR, divided in salary, electricity cost, transportation cost, and cost for
main consumables is summarized in Table 3-5.
Table 3-5 Estimated maintenance cost of the sewer system, expressed in IDR
Explanations for the cost for removal and transport of the coarse materials and the
sludge: There will be daily amount of solid waste, as coarse materials separated in the
curved sieve system (pre-treatment) and as sludge generated in the anaerobic reactor. -
These solid waste has to be collected in waste bins or in slurry chutes, which have to
transport by small to a dumping site. It is assumed that two daily tours will be necessary, at a
rate of 100,000 IDR per transport.

Explanations for the replacement of used materials and items: The operation of the
sewer network and the wastewater treatment plant requires consumption materials, which
has to be replaced. The three most expensive materials that have to be replaced are the
trickling filter media, the exhaust gas filter media at the vacuum station, and the vacuum con-
trol valves at each household connection. Annual replacement cost for these items were es-
timated, using the total cost for one replacement divided by the guaranty life time spans. The
trickling filter media has to be replaced after 10 years, the gas filter media after three, and
the valves after five years. Listed unit costs are based on suppliers’ data.
Table 3-6 Estimated monthly O&M cost per household connection for the sewer and
treatment system, expressed in IDR

Salary for operational staff 24.826
Electricity consumption of sewer and treatment plant 48.553
Transport of sludge and coarse material 15.789
Replacement of used materials, consumables 37.354
Total 126.522
Using this cost model, the total estimated monthly O&M cost per household connection is
about 126.522 IDR (= 9,00 EUR/household).
The cost estimation model doesn’t include taxes, depreciation cost, but indicates high specif-
ic cost. In further examinations, it is advisable to develop a business plan in order to support
cost saving methods and to develop a fair cost distribution system in view of the system us-
ers.
Costs saving potentials are seen for all sub-tasks:
As the electricity cost are most expensive cost, it might be favourable to assess the
benefit of installing solar panels to use solar energy driven pumps and to reduce the
dependence of a public power supply.
The salary for the operational staff might be reduced by involving local persons (e.g.
from Senggarang) in maintenance works of the sewer net. This will require appropri-
ate technical training.
The transport of sludge might be combined with the solid waste removal programme
for Senggarang. An integrated solid waste management plan should cover the re-
moval of solids from the wastewater treatment plant.
The time span, after which heavily stressed or loaded machines, pumps or filter me-
dia have to be repaired or replaced, depends on a correct handling. The period can
be prolonged by good maintenance works. On the wastewater treatment plant a well
trained professional team is required; on the household connection sites the coopera-
tion with the private users is necessary.

4 PROJECT BENEFITS, IMPACTS AND RISKS
4.1 Aspects before the construction
Solid waste collection
In order to achieve good results of the wastewater collection and treatment, the basic infra-
structure in Senggarang has to be improved. As solid waste (dumped plastic bags) and de-
bris cause clogging in open water channels and sewers, a functioning waste collection sys-
tem should be installed. The collection using tricycles, which was installed in the last years
but was later abandoned, should be started again.
Figure 4-1 Motorized tricycle to collect solid waste [Photo by author, 2016]
Necessary preparations to introduce the vacuum sewerage system as a new technol-
ogy in Indonesia
The vacuum sewerage system is a technology that has not been applied yet in Indonesia.
Training courses have been conducted as well as visits to reference plants outside of Indo-
nesia. However, there should be more information campaigns and more cooperation with
Indonesian users and governmental agencies that are involved in the assessment of new
technology, such as Puslitbang PU (Research Institute of the Ministry for Construction). This
cooperation should be used to improve the understanding of the new technology and enable
the Indonesian central institutions to give support to institutions on provincial or municipal
level.
Socket welding
The socket welding is also a relatively new technology that is used to connect vacuum sewer
pipes. The standard method to connect pipes (e.g. for water supply) is the mirror welding
technique. This method is sufficient for small networks (inside houses or small complexes of
up to six houses), but not for bigger networks.
To ensure the necessary quality of the sewer network, the workers conducting socket weld-
ing and other pipe works should receive a special training. Such training could be done by a
drinking water company in Pontianak (PDAM Pontianak) which has a Training Centre with
the necessary capacity to deliver technical training and guidance in pipe works. Training can
be continued on site. The special training in pipe works should be extended not only to the
construction phase but also to the maintenance and operational phase (see section: 4.2 Op-
eration of the wastewater treatment plant).

Figure 4-2 Socket welding to connect vacuum pipes [BILFINGER, 2016]
It is advisable to require socket welded pipe connections for the vacuum sewer network.
Gradient measurements with laser technology
The vacuum sewer system is suitable for areas with little to no slope between intake and
transfer point at the outlet. However the vacuum sewer network requires a constant gradient
of 0.2 % with a high accuracy, which requires the application of laser technology for the
measurements. To keep the network close to the ground surface, lift pipes are installed
where necessary, forming a so called “saw-tooth-profile”.
For the construction, it is advisable to require gradient measurements with laser technology.
Operation of the wastewater treatment plant
The proposed wastewater treatment plant is designed under the premise of low energy con-
sumption and low land use. The plant is built in a compact way; the reactors fulfil multiple
functions, such as interim storage, reduction of settable solids, reduction of carbonaceous
substances, and reduction of nitrogenous substances. The connecting pipe system connects
the various compartments of the reactors. The operation of such a compact wastewater
treatment plant requires some in-depth knowledge of the functions of all parts installed.
It is advisable to train two to four persons with basic technical knowledge and talent in a spe-
cial training course on wastewater treatment.
4.2 Aspects during the operation
Both, the sewer and the wastewater treatment system are not maintenance-intensive. The
normal operation tasks are limited to the inspection of the network and the daily control of the
wastewater plant. For the normal operation, a team of up to three technicians should be
founded for the daily routine works. On household or village quarter level (RT or RW level), it
is advisable to instruct a contact person who will be in charge to collect complaints (on clog-
ging, mal-functions) and inform the supervising institutions (Kelurahan level).
There might be some emergency cases, such as clogging, pipe damages caused by strong
waves or interruption of the electrical power supply. For these cases, some measures have
to be prepared:
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang

All measures at the sewer network and wastewater treatment plant have to be done by quali-
fied and skilled technicians and not by the local people.
There should be a technical team available on Bintan Island, which will be able to reach
Senggarang in between a period of one day after receiving a notice of emergency (clogging,
pipe damage).
In case of a period without electrical supply of longer than one day, there should be a suction
truck available, by which the network can emptied. The sludge that is removed by the truck
should be transported to the solid waste disposal plant.
Figure 4-3 Suction car to empty the vacuum sewer network after a electrical shut-down
for more than 24 hours [Photo by author, 2016]
In consultation with the sewer net supplier it has to be decided whether a flushing of the
sewer network with inert gas (nitrogen) is necessary to restart the vacuum sewer system.
As mentioned in the preliminary study, there will be a provision of a warranty of one year
after the date of commissioning and supervision support during installation. After this period,
a service-agreement between the supplier and the Tanjungpinang Municipality must be pre-
pared and set into operation.
In Tanjungpinang, the responsible supervising sub-unit of the municipality should be capable
to react in case of emergency. This implies also storage of spare-parts to repair broken
chambers, valves or pipes.
4.3 Potential for the enlargement of the system
The type of construction of the sewer and wastewater treatment system is selected in such a
way that it offers opportunities for further enlargement and developments. The capacity of the
WWTP (designed for 1300 PE) can be increased for the service of about 4000 PE without
major constructions.
Wastewater Sewerage and Treatment System Coastal Settlement of Senggarang
08.07.2017 41
The wastewater treatment plants can be enlarged by the following measures:
Optimization of the Anaerobic reactor
1. By increasing the inlet flow (implies a higher specific load in the anaerobic reac-
tor)
2. By thermal insulation of the outer walls of reactor (Increases the reactor tempera-
ture -> increase of bio gas production)
3. By installation of biogas collection and storage chambers above the reactor (tech-
nically practical, if gas production is higher than 10 m³/day)
Optimization of the trickling filter
1. By increasing the inlet flow
2. By removal of the filter media and exchange with a more effective filter-media,
which supports a higher specific purification rate
Figure 4-4 Concept for the enlargement of the wastewater sewerage and treatment plant
in Senggarang
4.4 Potential for the water reuse
The treated wastewater will be clear, free of sediments, free of dispersed solids, containing
nitrates, low concentrations of organic substances, and low concentrations of germs. The
amount will be about 2 l/s. This water is suitable for irrigation, for enrichment of raw water
sources (rainwater pond, groundwater aquifers) or for barrier water to avoid seawater intru-
sion into the groundwater aquifer under Senggarang village.
Locations for the water reuse options in Senggarang are indicated in the overview map of
Senggarang. The existing water supply system is indicated as yellow line. Water from the
natural pond is treated in the water treatment plant (WTP) from where the water is led to
Senggarang. There will be a groundwater well near the WTP to enlarge the raw water
source.

The vacuum station and the wastewater treatment plant are located north of Senggarang.
The treated wastewater will be produced at the WWTP. There are three options for the water
reuse.
Treated water can be infiltrated near the WTP, near the pond. This option will in-
crease the raw water source.
Treated water can be used as irrigation water for the small agricultural area directly
near of the WWTP
Treated water can be infiltrated into the ground in Senggarang. By this method, the
public well near the VS will be protected against infiltration of seawater.
These options are not further examined in this study. However it is worth to check their feasi-
bility.
4.5 Continuation of the system
Continuation of the system depends on the availability of operational and maintenance funds.
Sufficient operational and maintenance funds from the local government are questionable in
the long run. People are urged to find another source of funding to support operational and
maintenance costs. Biogas from the wastewater treatment plant and water reuse is two pos-
sible sources of income to cover operational and maintenance cost. Turning biogas and wa-
ter reuse into income for Senggarang can be started by establishing an organisation or cor-
poration to run and manage the system. Currently in Senggarang a foundation exists that
manages water supply for local inhabitants. The foundation could be an example for the fu-
ture wastewater corporation or the foundation could integrate the wastewater system into its
business.
Another possibility to support the continuation of system is through knowledge transfer and
dissemination. The project is a new technology in Indonesia and could be considered as the
first of its kind. People, who are involved in the project, especially during the construction and
operational phase, will gain new knowledge and skills that can be used later in other projects
involving pipe works and tank construction. The cooperation could provide consultancy and
contractor services for other similar projects in Indonesia. The cooperation which will be es-
tablished to manage the wastewater system could also develop training measures for tech-
nical works and provide training for other people or municipalities. All activities that have
been mentioned: consultancy, contractor service and training center, could be sources of
income to support the continuation of system.
To generate income to support the system a business plan should be elaborated with the
people in Senggarang. The business plan will become a blue print for activities to support the
system and for the future development of the system.

4.6 Benefits
The introduction of new technologies creates opportunities for new cooperation and research
works.
In case of a successful operation, this location will be used as a reference for a new
environmental technology in Indonesia and will offer new business opportunities.
The new sewer and wastewater treatment plant and the water reuse options derived
from their operations offer opportunities for applied research works (e.g. for the near-
by University of Marine Resources Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (UMRAH))
