Anotech Binh Duong Electroplating Wastewater Treatment Plant Project
The electroplating industry is one of the sectors with stringent environmental protection requirements due to the presence of heavy metals, acids, alkalis, and surface treatment chemicals in wastewater streams. Therefore, investing in an efficient wastewater treatment system is essential for maintaining sustainable manufacturing operations and complying with environmental regulations.

With extensive experience in industrial wastewater treatment, VIET WATER JOINT STOCK COMPANY (VIET WATER JSC) was selected as the engineering, design, and construction contractor for the Electroplating Wastewater Treatment Plant of Anotech Binh Duong Joint Stock Company.
The project was successfully completed in 2022 and put into operation, ensuring effective treatment of electroplating wastewater and compliance with Vietnamese environmental standards.

Characteristics of Electroplating Wastewater
Electroplating wastewater is considered one of the most complex industrial wastewater streams due to its high concentration of hazardous contaminants.

Typical Pollutants
Wastewater generated from:
-
Degreasing processes
-
Metal pickling
-
Electroplating operations
-
Surface passivation
-
Product rinsing
May contain:
-
Chromium (Cr)
-
Nickel (Ni)
-
Copper (Cu)
-
Zinc (Zn)
-
Iron (Fe)
-
Lead (Pb)
-
Acids and alkalis
-
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
Without proper treatment, these pollutants can seriously impact water resources and surrounding ecosystems.
Treatment Technology Implemented by Viet Water
Based on wastewater characterization and site conditions, Viet Water developed a specialized treatment process for electroplating wastewater.

Wastewater Collection and Segregation
-
Separate collection of wastewater streams
-
Segregation of heavy-metal-containing wastewater
-
Flow equalization and control
pH Adjustment
The wastewater is conditioned to an optimal pH level to facilitate chemical treatment and heavy metal precipitation.
Coagulation and Flocculation
Specialized chemicals are used to:
-
Precipitate heavy metals
-
Remove suspended solids
-
Reduce color and turbidity
Sedimentation
Flocs generated during treatment are separated from water and transferred to the sludge treatment system.
Filtration and Polishing
Final filtration ensures that treated wastewater meets environmental discharge requirements.
