Xylem Inc has designed and installed Vietnam's first ICEAS Advanced Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) and ultraviolet (UV) municipal wastewater treatment solution to improve the water quality of the Sai Gon River.
Saigon Water Infrastructure Corp's Enviro Engineering Corp, based in Ho Chi Minh City, partnered with Xylem on the project, which is located in the Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong province. The new wastewater treatment solution consists of Xylem's WEDECO TAK55 open-channel UV disinfection system and Xylem's Sanitaire ICEAS Advanced (SBR) Process Solution. The system includes diffusers, decanters, blowers and monitoring and controls, as well as a number of Flygt N-technology pumps and compact mixers. Allan Hendry, Xylem's vice president and managing director for the Greater Asia region, said: "We are delighted to have designed and developed this ground-breaking facility which will have a very positive impact on the Binh Duong region. As well as delivering high quality wastewater, our solution is sustainable and cost-effective. In addition, the system's modular design means that it can be easily expanded, an important consideration for this facility where an additional three phases will be built to cater for the increasing population."
