Vietnam modernises industrial waste water observation

19 November 2014 | 12:00:00 PM

Studies related to the observation of industrial waste water discharged from industrial zones (IZs) in Vietnam through mobile analysing stations were introduced at a seminar in Hanoi on November 18.

Prof., Dr. Bui Duy Cam said this is the first time the country has had observation stations designed as mobile laboratories, which help analyse immediately all toxins and dangerous agents in waste water such as acidity, alkalinity and conductivity, thus drawing appropriate treatment measures.

Vietnam sees the increasing number of industrial parks, and almost all fail to have sustainable solutions to industrial waste water, he said.

In order to meet the demand of treating waste water in IZs, a pilot project has been carried out in Tra Noc Industrial Zone in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho , which is expected to pave the way for upcoming projects in other zones nationwide.

Scientists and management agencies will be responsible for assisting enterprises operating in IZs in applying waste treatment technologies, Cam said, adding that businesses should focus on upgrading infrastructure facilities for the work.

Studies presented at the seminar are part of a 2.5 million EUR project aimed at promoting waste water treatment for industrial zones in Vietnam, which was jointly funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology.

The project has been implementing by eight German research institutes and nine Vietnamese partners from 2010-2015.
