Bac Ninh power company focuses on hazardous waste treatment


According to Do Quoc Long, the Director of Bac Ninh PC located east of the capital Hanoi, the company has always strictly complied with laws and environmental protection regulations of its parent companies, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and the Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC). The company has also issued regulations and assigned tasks to each department and unit on the management of hazardous waste and developed an environmental protection scheme for all transmission lines and substations.

Accordingly, in the management and disposal of hazardous wastes, the company has focused on consolidating and perfecting storage facilities. Specifically, at hazardous waste, transformer case and transformer oil storage facilities, the company has completed a warning system with diagrams, rules and response plans in case of leakage. It has also reinforced the roofs, waterproofed concrete foundations and fire protection systems. At 110kV stations and at headquarters of affiliated companies, separate areas have been set up for temporary storage of hazardous wastes. The system of hazardous waste containers, warning signs, waste code plates, diagrams, and fire prevention fighting equipment and tools have also been completed and/or supplemented at these sites.
