According to the figures from the Department of Environment, since 1998 Kualiti Alam Sdn Bhd disposed of a total of 5.28 tons of PCB.

The incineration plant at Kualiti Alam Sdn Bhd is equipped with a rotary kiln, a secondary combustion chamber and a flue gas- cleaning system. This facility will operate at a high temperature to maintain a volatile destruction and removal of at least 99.999%. Drums containing PCB waste will be incinerated in this way.

The ash after incineration will be deposited in a landfill that is lined with impermeable layers. When the landfill is full it will be covered with a low-density polyethylene liner to protect it from rainwater and to minimize seepage.

Incinerator for disposing PCBs

Presently the legal tools available in Malaysia are only for controlling PCBs generated industrially. No effort has been given to eradicate PCBs, which remained in consumer goods that were manufactured before 1998, or those that are disposed off at landfills. Given the above situation the issue of PCBs should be address globally, International cooperation should be established so that there will be a concerted effort to address this problem
