| Abstract | An overview of world starch industry is provided. It includes sources of different raw materials in terms of production per year, world starch production, processing technology, equipments and energy con s umption. The potential e nvironme mta l technology for starc h waste water problems and current treatment is also mentioned. A case study of starch industries in Nam for Environmental Impact Assessement now, starch industries in HCM city are village sca l e. Ho Chi Minh city, Viet is carried o u t. Up to on small scale and on In Thu Due district, tapioca i s u sed as raw material in starc h production. Twelve among 120 tapioca processing units Thu Due dis tricts are investigated. Amount of 3,600m3 /d of waste water is discharged directly to canals and 8-9 t/d of unwanted solid waste from total 120 starch processing units is discharged. In Tan Binh district, processing units. Of which seven Tan Binh district are s urveyed. t h ere is twelve rice n oodles rice noodles processing units in Based on check list and interaction matri x conducted from the survey, impacts on the environment from tapioca starch industry and rice noodles industry as starch based industry are specified .
