As the number of healthcare facilities increases, stringent management of
wastewater treatment systems becomes imperative. This study investigates a
wastewater treatment system designed for a general clinic in Bình Dương
Province, Vietnam, which complies with Vietnamese environmental standards.
The clinic, located in Bến Cát City, serves approximately 200 patients per day
and generates an average wastewater volume of 1.7m³/day. The treatment
system, with a capacity of 10m³/day, employs a combination of biological and
chemical methods, including anoxic and aerobic processes, to efficiently reduce
pollutants. Results indicate that the treated wastewater meets the QCVN
28:2010/BTNMT, column A standards, ensuring minimal environmental impact
when discharged into the Thi Tinh River. The study demonstrates the system's
effectiveness in managing hospital wastewater, contributing to environmental
protection and public health.
