Binh Duong: Tighten monitoring of industrial wastewater treatment Thứ hai, ngày 10 tháng 03 năm 2014 cập nhật lúc 09:41

According to Binh Duong Center of Natural Resources and Environment Monitoring (under Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Binh Duong), the automatic surveillance system monitors constantly 29 large waste disposal sites in the province producing about 116,000 cubic meters per day. There are 21 control stations using automatic monitoring devices and 8 wastewater monitoring stations using cameras.

There are currently 19 out of 21 automatic monitoring stations transferring monitoring data to the Central operation station. Two stations at Bo La rubber and Cuaparis rubber factories have recently been installed and on test run.

The surveillance data shows that 14 stations have operated reliably and the indicator of COD in wastewater reached permitted level while 5 stations whose the quality of wastewater exceeds by 1 to 1.5 times account for 26 percent. If COD indicator in wastewater quality in some disposal sites exceeds standardized level, Central station will promptly call enterprises to inform about their violation.

It is expected that in March 2014, Central station receives more monitoring data transferred from 4 enterprises.
