At 1.45 p.m., I continued to complete the WWTP flow diagram using Microsoft Visio.

At 2.45 p.m., the administrative assistant, Ms. Yvonne informed me that my own company account was ready to use finally. From now onwards I can access the company computer using my account and communicate with others using the given company email address.

At 4.45 p.m., Tee listened to my presentation about my understanding of WWTP on the site. Tee gave me feedback that there are several additional details I should explore and understand by myself.

At 8.30 a.m., I started to read the book CePIETSO (Biological Processes). This book is published by the Environmental Institute of Malaysia (EiMAS). It contains plenty of information and regulations relating to industrial effluent treatment systems (IETS).

At 9.15 a.m., we had a short meeting with the operators. Before the end of the meeting, Tee introduced a new colleague, Shanji to us. He will mainly be in charge of environmental aspects, including WWTP.

At 3.00 p.m., I walked around WWTP with Vasu to observe the flow and piping in WWTP. Vasu was using water to spray on the floor in the DAP area because there was acid leakage from the chemical dosing system.

At 3.45 p.m., I also studied the details of the main influent and effluent from this DAF unit. The influent is from the DAF balance tank and the effluent of DAF is pumped to the aeration tank for further processes.
