Wastewater treatment system of Thang Long Industrial Park II
The province currently has 10 industrial parks that have built centralized wastewater treatment systems, an increase of 4 parks compared to 2023. Some industrial parks such as Clean Industrial Park, Industrial Park No. 05... have invested in modern wastewater collection and treatment systems, ensuring that wastewater is thoroughly collected and treated to meet standards before being discharged into the environment. All 10 industrial parks have installed automatic wastewater monitoring systems, connecting data with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for monitoring and supervision. The synchronous investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure and automatic monitoring helps improve environmental protection efficiency, control wastewater quality and ensure sustainable operations, associated with environmental responsibility of industrial parks in particular and enterprises with large discharge volumes in general.
Thang Long II Industrial Park with an area of 525.7 hectares has built a centralized wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 15,000 m3/day and night. This is one of the industrial parks with a modern, synchronous wastewater treatment system, meeting the wastewater treatment needs of enterprises. In addition, the industrial park infrastructure has been invested thoroughly with an automatic monitoring system, environmental incident prevention and emission control measures. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, an investor who is building a factory in Thang Long II Industrial Park, we highly appreciate the wastewater treatment system and infrastructure of the Industrial Park. Having a strict environmental management system helps businesses feel secure in production, meet environmental standards, and create prestige with customers.
In addition to progress, environmental protection in industrial production still faces many challenges. Some enterprises have not strictly complied with environmental regulations, discharging untreated waste, causing water and air pollution. According to statistics, in industrial parks operating in the province, the total amount of wastewater is nearly 50 thousand m3/day and night, of which about 40 thousand m3 is treated at centralized wastewater treatment facilities, the rest is treated by enterprises themselves. Nearly 300 tons of ordinary solid waste are generated per day, and more than 100 tons of hazardous waste per day. In 2024, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment conducted inspections, discovered 27 businesses in violation and imposed a total fine of nearly 3 billion VND. Early detection and strict handling of violations aim to raise businesses' awareness of compliance and ensure environmental standards in production.
One of the important solutions to protect the environment in industrial production is to control pollution right from the input stage. In 2024, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment provided environmental comments on 318 investment projects, submitted 127 environmental impact assessment reports to the Provincial People's Committee for approval, and issued 94 environmental licenses. Carefully appraising projects from the beginning helps limit projects with the risk of causing pollution, while encouraging businesses to use modern, environmentally friendly technology. In addition, industrial parks and industrial clusters are also required to complete technical infrastructure for environmental protection, especially centralized wastewater treatment systems, to meet the need to treat all wastewater generated before receiving new investment projects.
Currently, industrial parks have basically arranged reserve reservoirs in case of environmental incidents, meeting regulations. Some industrial parks with limited land funds such as Pho Noi Textile Industrial Park, investors have proposed alternative technical solutions. In addition, propaganda work, raising awareness and consciousness about environmental protection has also been promoted. In 2024, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment organized a conference to propagate and train on greenhouse gas emission inventory with the participation of 150 delegates representing departments, branches and enterprises; coordinated with localities and units to organize propaganda on environmental protection for over 200 enterprises...
Towards the goal of sustainable industrial development, continuing to thoroughly grasp policies and guidelines on environmental protection, strictly implementing the Law on Environmental Protection and guiding documents for implementation is a very important task that needs to be promptly and effectively implemented by functional sectors, specialized units and localities. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen inspection, examination, and strict supervision of large sources of emissions, and strictly handle violations. In particular, promoting the application of technology in environmental monitoring, such as using automatic wastewater and emission monitoring systems, and connecting data with management agencies will help improve monitoring efficiency. Environmental protection in industrial production is not only the responsibility of management agencies but also the obligation of enterprises. Investing in environmental treatment technology and implementing cleaner production not only helps enterprises comply with regulations but also enhances their reputation and competitiveness in the market.
