Changes

Since the development of Drainage Trash Trap System, it has been installed successfully in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johore, Taman Universiti, Skudai, Johore and near wholesale market in Selayang, Selangor. One scale down model also has been developed to study the usage and effectiveness of DTTS. This product has won a Silver Medal at the 5th Invention and Innovation Competition held during the Malaysia Technology Expo 2006 from 23 – 25 February 2006 at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

The second style of trap suitable for markets is shown in the diagram to the left. Designed for piped and not canalized sewers this one is made of concrete and can be retrofit. This is a low cost option that can be constructed on-site using locally available materials and labor.
