The upgrade of a leachate treatment system at the Lien Chieu District-based Khanh Son Solid Waste Treatment, valued at VND287 billion from the Da Nang budget, was officially inaugurated on Saturday to mark the World Environment Day (June 5).

The system boasts the best leachate odour treatment technology in Viet Nam, ensuring that treated water discharged into the environment will meet the prescribed standards.

In detail, the project has a daily treatment capacity of 1,050m³ using the anaerobic biological treatment technology in combination with anoxic, aerobic MBBR, MBR and physical and chemical treatment methods conducted by the SEEN Technologies Corporation.

The project aims to help complete the collection and thorough treatment of the generated leachate reserves during the extended operation of the Khanh Son landfill, thus improving the environment, and enhancing the life quality of local residents and this site’s landscape.

Over recent years, the city has concentrated on mobilising adequate resources to develop the socio-economic- urban infrastructure, including environmental works in a synchronous and modern direction.

On this occasion, leaders of the municipal Department of Natural Resources and the Environment and the Lien Chieu District People's Committee and the project’s developers attended a tree planting ceremony held at the leachate treatment system site.

The SEEN Technologies Corporation also donated VND50 million to residents living in difficult circumstances in Hoa Khanh Nam Ward.
