Wastewater and rainwater system:
The industrial zone is divided into three main drainage basins: Khe Chom, Khe Khoang, and Suoi Ma Ngan. Surface water in the industrial zone is collected through two channels:
A closed channel collects wastewater from the factories and then pumps it to the wastewater treatment plant in Khe Chom.
An open channel collects surface water in the industrial zone and partially treated wastewater from the factories.
To collect surface water, the industrial zone has invested in a 700m-long pipe (along Khe Chom) to collect wastewater from the factories to the wastewater treatment plant.
In addition, the entire industrial zone has 5.69 km of open channels (along the roads) to collect surface water, which then flows into the three drainage basins and drains into the streams in the area.
Waste treatment:
The investor will sign service contracts with professional waste treatment units.
