Electricity Supply of An Nhut Tan Industrial Park:

The power source for the Industrial Park comes from the Ben Luc 110/22 KV substation – 25+40 MVA through 22 KV power lines on Provincial Road 832. The electricity demand varies for different areas. Factories and warehouses require 250KW/ha with an operation of 4,000 hours/year. The operation and service center demand 600KW/ha with a maximum load of 3,000 hours/year. The technical infrastructure and transportation sector need 10KW/ha, operating for 4,000 hours/year. The total electricity consumption, including losses and backup, amounts to 101.869 million KWh/year, with a total power capacity of 26,359.38 KW.

Power Grid of An Nhut Tan Industrial Park:

The power grid includes 22 KV overhead lines supported by centrifugal concrete poles with a height of 12-14m, shared with the medium voltage lines. The 0.4KV lighting lines run on centrifugal concrete poles, 8.5m in height, or on PVC pipes. All streetlights are high-pressure sodium lights, 220V – 250W, mounted on centrifugal concrete poles, spaced 7m apart.

Water Supply:

The water supply for the Industrial Park initially uses groundwater from the area and a water tank. For the long term, it relies on the province’s common water supply system when there are pipelines to the area. The water supply standards call for 40 m3/ha/day. The water consumption is 4,796 m3/day, including water demand for fire fighting with a flow rate of 20 liters/s for 3 hours. Water network comprises pipelines of 6200, 150, and $100. Fire hydrants are placed at intervals of 150m/try, and the water supply pipes use ductile iron, galvanized steel, or PVC pipes.

Wastewater and Environmental Sanitation:

The Industrial Park has a separate wastewater system from the stormwater system. The total wastewater flow is 3,837m3/day, equivalent to 80% of the water supply flow. The wastewater system includes D600 and D800 pipelines that collect wastewater from facilities and direct it to the centralized wastewater treatment station. There are two levels of wastewater treatment: Level I at the plant, meeting the Management Board’s standards, and Level II, a centralized treatment station with a capacity of 3,900m3/day, complying with TCVN 5945: 2005 standard before discharging into Vàm Cỏ Đông River.

Waste Treatment:

The Industrial Park manages waste through regular garbage collection and transportation to centralized waste treatment facilities, preventing waste accumulation and its impact on the environment.

Communication Information:

Design criteria include a subscriber count per area: 12 subscribers/ha for factories and warehouses, 24 subscribers/ha for the operation and service center, 10 subscribers/ha for technical infrastructure, and 14 subscribers/ha for the Industrial Park area.
