1.0 Introduction
This project entitled Production of Stearic Acid Plant at Bukit Raja, Klang, Selangor
(hereinafter referred to as Project). This Project covers a latitude coordinate of 3.0952680000
and longitude of 101.5353630000. the location is surrounded by palm oil plantation and have
advantageous position that is bounded by Klang Valley's main highway which are Federal
Highway, North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and South Klang Highway. The Selangor
State Government has gazette the site as an industrial zone in Klang that allow construction of
chemical plant.
The Project would involve the design, supply, construction and installation of stearic acid
production plant.
1.1 Statutory Requirement
Production of stearic acid plant is one of the activities subject to EIA and is prescribed
under item 8(a) of Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities)(Environmental Impact
Assessment) Order, 1987 under powers conferred by Section 34A of the Environmental Quality
Act, 1974. Hence, to fulfil the above requirement, a Detailed Environment Impact Assessment
(DEIA) study is needed to conduct this Project. The report to be submitted and approved by the
board of director before any progress can be made.
1.2 Scope of EIA
The scope of EIA of this Project is to assess the environmental impacts of the proposed
project activities and to prepare environmental management plans (EMP) to address the
impacts and further to integrate EMP into the project design.
The EIA addresses all aspects of pre-construction, construction, commissioning, and
operational stages, as indicated in the guideline document. Since the site is already for chemical
production industries, the is no requirement to conduct preliminary EIA under components of
hazards to rare, endemic or endangered species, effects on natural habitat, effects on
ecology(flora and fauna) and filling impacts.

Project Location
The selection of site location is a very important part to start-up this Stearic Acid Plant.
There are several criteria should be considered during the site location selection including
land availability, geologic and hydrogeology condition, climatologic condition, local
environmental condition and ultimate use of site. A studies have been conducted to select the
most suitable and strategic site location for the Stearic Acid Plant. After considering those
criteria, Bukit Raja Industrial Park have been proposed as the potential site location for the
Stearic Acid Plant.
Bukit Raja Industrial Park is an industrial park located in Bandar Bukit Raja, Klang,
Selangor and lies on latitude coordinate of 3.0952680000 and longitude of 101.5353630000.
The industrial development sits upon freehold land and situated on flat ground. It surrounded
by palm oil plantation and have advantageous position that is bounded by Klang Valley's
main highway which are Federal Highway, North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and
South Klang Highway. The park is also within short driving distance to Bandar Baru Klang,
where many amenities can be found.
Furthermore it is in close proximity to factories, housing estates, colleges and
university. The nearest neighbourhood is Desa Alam and Cahaya Alam. According to the data
from Klang Municipal Council, the industrial park covers about 1000 total hectars and only
40% of level of development. Figure below shows the satellite map of proposed project
location.
Water Quality
Water quality sampling should be conducted at all the existing lakes and drain near to the
proposed project site. From the sampling, an analysis will be performed to identify the quality
of water whether it contains contaminant or polluted or not. The sampling of water quality
should be conducted in both surface water and ground water.
Air Quality
Air quality should be conducted at three locations which is nearest to the site of the proposed
project. The selected locations for the air quality sampling are Bandar Baru Klang, Desa
Alam and Cahaya Alam. Due to the proposed project site is located in a relatively isolated
area, thus monitoring results should be the parameters are indicate in the range of Malaysian
Air Quality Guidelines.
Noise
Noise levels at the project site are dominated by the surf noise. Further inland, the noise
levels are mainly determined either by the number of vehicles or the noise emission from
stacks. During construction, piling activity is the main noise source which can create an
annoyance. Transportation involving heavy vehicles along the coastal road will increase the
noise level at the area.
6.0 Potential Environment Impact
This section will provide the reader the potential impact and correspending migitation
measures on the various way it can harm the environment. Most of the potential impact
sources from construction phase and operational phase.
6.1 Construction Phase
Activites from coustruction phase mainly give insignificant impact or short term effect to the
environment. The impact that may be arose and migitation measure are as stated below:
Socio-economic
6.2
Operation Phase
The impact from the operational phase are typically significant and naturally govern in long term.
However, with proper maintenance and operation procedures in place, the generated impacts
can be controlled and minimized
Possible activities which are able to cause negative impacts to environment if not properly
controlled or monitored are:
A) Splitting process of palm oil at splitting column
-
Odour generation
Noise generation
Odour generation
Noise generation
Contaminated steam
Noise generation
Odour generation
E) Contaminated water due to affluent, wash water and cooling water discharge, and
seepage from storage and waste tanks
-
Poor effluent quality will affect the receiving water quality (Sungai Klang)
Effluent with temperature that higher than recipient water bodies will generate
thermal pollution to the receiving water quality (Sungai Klang)
Potential hydrogen gas emission into atmosphere during the hydrogenation process
Heavy truck and cargos circulation potentially will cause traffic jam
Odour generation
Noise pollution
L) Socio economic
-
Local people felt unsafe and danger for the movement of heavy vehicles (truck) to
the plant.
Migrant of foreign workers to the plant would be a social threat to the local
population.
Perception of air quality, pollution and water pollution will cause health problems to
them.
8.0 Conclusion
The proposed of Production of Stearic Acid Plant in Kawasan Perindustrian Bukit Raja,
Klang, Selangor is really needed as the expectation of increasing demand of Stearic Acid in Asia
especially Malaysia. This is due to versatility of Stearic Acid as raw material that essentially to
be used in any production sector such as pharmacy, lubricant, cosmetic, food and beverage and
many more.
The development of this plant itself will comply to the demand in Malaysia parallel with
the fast growing industrial sectors in this country. This plant development answering the RMK-10
and along with that it will provide potential further Malaysias economy growth. Apart from that,
that plant will open the job opportunities to local residents and UITM Shah Alam graduates.
From the assessment of the impacts pertaining to the project implementation and the
mitigating measure of each impact, it can be concluded that the development of the plant will
not impose any adverse long term impact to environment. If fact, this development will thrusting
Malaysia forward as Stearic Acid supplier along with the identity as a country that implementing
Clean Production (CP).
