| Abstract | In the past decade, strong economic growth and uncontrolled urbanization have greatly magnified the problems with Vietnam's drainage, wastewater and sanitation system, pushing wastewater management to the forefront of environmental challenges with which it must contend. Not only has there been an increase in the amounts of wastewater generated, the composition of the wastewater has changed as well. An increase in the amount of wastewater combine with no or weak wastewater treatment facilities lead to environmental pollution and affect directly to human health. An Bai is a town of Quynh Phu distric in Thai Binh province where located in the red river delta in Vietnam. At the moment, there are no any wastewater treatment facilities in the town and untreated wastewater has been affecting to the environment and human being. Thus, this study will be conducted to develop and study appropriate technology as stabilization ponds to apply for wastewater treatment plant in the An Bai town. A wastewater stabilization pond is a relatively shallow body of wastewater contained in an earthen basin which is designed to treat wastewater. They are used to treat a variety of wastewaters, from domestic wastewater to complex industrial waters, and they function under a wide range of weather conditions, i.e., tropical to arctic. The results show that, using stabilization ponds in the town is more suitable and have a lot of advantages such as: simple, easy for operation, low cost of construction as well as low operation and maintenance cost. |
