The operator controls the waste incineration power generation system at the plant.
Safe waste disposal
During a recent working visit, Mr. Tran Chi Hung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City, along with representatives from relevant departments and agencies, visited and surveyed the effectiveness of waste-to-energy incineration at the Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant (located in Truong Xuan commune, Can Tho City). At the meeting, representatives from EB Environmental Energy Co., Ltd. (Can Tho) – the unit directly responsible for the construction, management, and operation of the Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant project – shared information about the company's involvement in the project; they also introduced the waste-to-energy incineration technology used at the plant, which meets all Vietnamese environmental standards and regulations and is perfectly suited to the characteristics of household waste with low calorific value and high moisture content.
Mr. Wang Hong Guang, Deputy General Director of EB Environmental Energy Co., Ltd., said: “Over more than 7 years of operation, the company has continuously been honored with the title of 'Safe Enterprise' awarded by the People's Committee of Can Tho City; achieving outstanding results in the field of environmental energy, always prioritizing the interests of employees and fulfilling tax obligations well, as commended by the departments and agencies of Can Tho City… The company will continue to develop and maintain these achievements in the future.”
The Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant project, inaugurated and put into operation in 2018, covers an area of 5.33 hectares and has a capacity to process and incinerate 400 tons of household waste per day for electricity generation. The project has a total investment of VND 1,057 billion, under the FDI investment model. As of April 2026, the total amount of waste processed will reach 1,257,442 tons. The waste-to-energy plant is connected to the national power grid at the 110kVA/22kV Thoi Lai substation, with a capacity of 7.5MW/h. EB Can Tho Energy Co., Ltd. independently invested in, constructed, and manages the grid-connected power system, which spans 11.2km. By April 10, 2026, the total amount of electricity connected to the national grid will reach 410,901,016 kW… In addition, during the waste incineration process, all ash, slag, and leachate from the plant are recovered and reused. The emission control indicators meet the QCVN61-MT standard of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and several European 2010 standards…
According to the Board of Directors of the Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant, since its inauguration and operation, the plant has always focused on safety and preventing environmental incidents in order to create a friendly, clean, and civilized working environment.
Maximize effectiveness
According to the Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant's management board, the plant has been operating for a total of 2,592 days, receiving an average of 487 tons of waste per day. Leachate generation accounts for approximately 23.5%, equivalent to about 115 m³/day, and the average amount of waste incinerated is 372 tons per day. Mr. Wang Hong Guang stated that waste data is compiled daily by the statistics department and sent to the specialized department of the city's Environmental Protection Agency for verification. The automatic emission monitoring system transmits data online to the Department of Agriculture and Environment. The weighing station is inspected and certified annually by the Center for Quality Measurement and Testing under the Can Tho Department of Science and Technology.
Recently, with the support of the Can Tho City Department of Science and Technology, EB Energy Co., Ltd. collaborated with Can Tho University to successfully research the application of fly ash in the production of paving bricks. In addition, the company is cooperating with ROTECHPD Company in Ho Chi Minh City to utilize fly ash in the casting of clinker-free cement components. Mr. Wang Hong Guang emphasized: “The company always prioritizes equipment safety and strictly controls emissions during operation. For over seven years, the unit has not recorded any serious incidents involving personnel or equipment. Every year, we cooperate with relevant authorities to conduct drills for hazardous situations that could easily cause fires and explosions, ensuring safety throughout the plant's operation.”
During a recent meeting with Can Tho City leaders, EB Energy Co., Ltd. proposed a new plan regarding waste treatment prices and fly ash processing costs. Currently, the amount of waste received at the plant after April 10th is approximately 425 tons/day, and the plant requested the city to provide an additional 40 tons/day to increase its processing capacity.
Mr. Tran Chi Hung commented: After more than 7 years of operation, the Can Tho Solid Waste Treatment Plant has helped the city improve the quality of household waste treatment, contributing to environmental protection in the area. Regarding the plant's proposal, the city requested relevant departments and agencies to coordinate with the plant and localities to review and develop an effective and compliant implementation plan. Can Tho City agrees with and supports the plant's expansion of waste-to-energy processing. The investor needs to invest in a processing line for hazardous waste, medical waste, and pesticide bottles; and invest in modern waste-to-energy incineration technology to reduce fly ash and slag emissions, contributing to minimizing post-incineration waste treatment.
