JFE Engineering Corporation has been contracted by Hanoi, Vietnam to build the city’s largest wastewater treatment plant in Yen Xa (Yen Xa wastewater treatment plant). It aims to complete it in 2022. This project will build a wastewater treatment facility with a treatment capacity of 270,000 m³/day (equivalent to a population of 900,000 people) that combines advanced treatment processes to efficiently remove nitrogen and phosphorus. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will provide an international yen loan to fund the construction.

JFE Engineering also built the Hoa Lac wastewater treatment plant (treated water volume: 36,000 m³/day), also in Hanoi. Its continued employment of local staff with experience from the Hoa Lac wastewater treatment plant, in addition to its technical capacity of project execution on a full turnkey basis from design to construction, led to JFE Engineering being selected for this latest project.
