Southeast Asia’s largest wastewater treatment facility to open in HCM City in mid-2025
Construction of the Nhiêu Lộc – Thị Nghè wastewater treatment plant project in HCM City, which will be the largest in Southeast Asia, is around 41 per cent complete and is expected to be put into use in June of next year.
The plant will treat wastewater that is currently being discharged untreated into the Sài Gòn River. It uses advanced Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology, which is one of the most popular biological treatment methods. The new facility will raise the city’s daily wastewater treatment capacity to 1.1 million cu.m per day, or about 71 per cent of the daily wastewater discharge.
