IF YOU HAVE THE BELLOW PROBLEMS
Complex wastewater with variable loads
A design misaligned with real operations leads to system failure and costly rework.
Heavy metals / high organic content
If not correctly treated, then operational failures and regulatory inspections
High investment and operating costs
Recurring expenses arise when the system is not optimally designed from the outset.
Legal Risk – Post-Audit Exposure
Compliant at handover, but unable to maintain standards under real operating conditions.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Right Approach from the Root – Precision-Engineered Design
➡️ We don’t start with equipment — we start with actual pollutant loads, regulatory risks, and long-term operational feasibility.
.
SOLUTION MINDSET
🎯 Assess actual pollutant loads and composition
🎯 Analyze regulatory risks from the outset
🎯 Design fit-for-purpose technology — no overengineering
🎯 Deliver beyond every commitment

4️⃣ Handover – Commissioning & Operation
System handed over only after stable and verified performance is achieved.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS
Selecting the correct discharge standard is not optional — it directly determines system design, investment cost, and legal compliance risk.
Many businesses mistakenly design based on outdated standards or apply the wrong regulations to their industry. The result? Systems fail acceptance testing, require costly retrofits, or create long-term legal exposure.
Below is the structured regulatory framework currently applicable in Vietnam.
I. GENERAL REGULATIONS (UPDATED 2025)
These standards apply broadly, depending on wastewater type and discharge destination.
1. QCVN 40:2025/BTNMT National Technical Regulation on Industrial Wastewater
-
Replaces QCVN 40:2011
-
Consolidates multiple sector-specific standards
-
Applies to most industrial manufacturing activities
-
Defines discharge limits based on the receiving source and environmental zoning
2. QCVN 14:2025/BTNMT National Technical Regulation on Domestic Wastewater
-
Applies to residential areas, commercial buildings, offices, hotels, and mixed-use developments
-
Used for domestic wastewater systems independent from industrial discharge
II. SECTOR-SPECIFIC & SPECIALIZED REGULATIONS
Although QCVN 40:2025 integrates many sectors, certain industries continue to apply dedicated standards or are under transitional application frameworks.
- Healthcare: QCVN 28:2010/BTNMT – Medical Wastewater
- Livestock Farming: QCVN 62-MT:2016/BTNMT – Livestock Wastewater
- Solid Waste Landfills: QCVN 25:2009/BTNMT
- Petroleum Depots & Fuel Stations: QCVN 29:2010/BTNMT
- Natural Rubber Processing: QCVN 01-MT:2015/BTNMT
- Seafood Processing: QCVN 11-MT:2015/BTNMT
- Paper & Pulp Production: QCVN 12-MT:2015/BTNMT
- Textile & Dyeing: QCVN 13-MT:2015/BTNMT
- Bioethanol Production: QCVN 60-MT:2015/BTNMT
- Cassava Starch Processing: QCVN 63:2017/BTNMT
- Steel Manufacturing: QCVN 52:2017/BTNMT
HOW TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT STANDARD
The applicable regulation depends on:
-
Industry classification
-
Wastewater characteristics
-
Discharge receiving body (surface water, centralized system, reuse)
-
Environmental zoning and local authority requirements
-
Project approval timeline (new vs. existing facility)
Applying the wrong standard can lead to:
-
Design oversizing → unnecessary capital expenditure
-
Design undersizing → non-compliance and forced system upgrades
-
Delayed licensing or operational suspension
OUR APPROACH
We provide sector-specific regulatory advisory, ensuring:
-
Correct standard selection from the beginning
-
Full alignment with Vietnam’s Environmental Protection Law
-
Technical design matching legal discharge thresholds
-
Reduced compliance risk during inspection and acceptance
If you need a clear regulatory roadmap tailored to your industry, we structure it before any engineering work begins.
