Programme Highlights

Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (STSTW) is the largest secondary sewage treatment works in Hong Kong. It occupies 28 hectares of land and serves a population of 650,000 in Sha Tin and Ma On Shan Districts, which produces 260,000 cubic metres of sewage per day.

STSTW was commissioned in 1982. The treatment capacity was 100,000 cubic metres per day and finally upgraded to 340,000 cubic metres per day in 2011. To further improve the effluent quality, an ultraviolet disinfection system was also installed in the extension works.

For environmental protection, STSTW has implemented many environmentally friendly measures. Combined Heat and Power Generator and Micro-turbine Generator are used to generate electricity and heat for plant operation by making use if the biogas produced during sludge treatment process. Furthermore, a number of de-odourisation units are installed to improve our services and the living environment of the neighourhood.
