Based on an exhaustive examination of the current and projected situation In Hanoi, as well as a comparative analysis of other Asian urban areas, specific proposals have been formulated in this report to allow Urenco to improve its operations. These recommendations, presented in the form of an Integrated Action Plan for 1995-2010, shall allow Urenco to meet the increasing needs of a changing population. The plan encompasses the following objectives:. Target a 100 % collection rate by the year 2000. Establish the necessary infrastrucures and programmes. Encourage waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Ensure environmental and public health protection. Involve public participation and input. Ensure local economic development. Encourage the participation of the private sector. Guarantee current levels of employment and seek new job opportunities. Ensure gender equality by involving women in proposed programmes. Seek long-term economic profitability of the waste management system. Ensure the economic viability of Urenco's operations
The plan includes measures for waste reduction and reuse, for selective waste collection, for waste reuse, and for the segregation of hazardous and infectious wastes. Improvements to the collection, handling and disposal aspects of waste management are also proposed. The total cost of the proposals is estimated at $ 60 million USD, over 15 years. (CIDA assistance for viability study; ADB financing for project implementation).

Full Process Evaluation, Characterisation And Engineered Solution.
Recognising that VOC emissions control requires a logical and systematic approach, Sodexen's experts start with a data acquisitions phase including complete process emissions testing. This generally involves site sampling and mass balance calculations, as well as lab analyses and dispersion modelling. Working in conjunction with regulatory criteria, Sodexen then analyses process parameters that may be modified to reduce VOC emissions. Once this has been optimized, engineered solutions are investigated: carbon treatment, thermal and catalytic destruction, wet processes, filtration, scrubbers etc. Full regulatory interfacing is guaranteed at all phases of project execution.

On-site Biodegradation Of Contaminants Using Happs Process.
Sodexen's HAPPS process uses our own consortia of micro-organisms, stimulated by enzymes and additives, to achieve 90%+ reduction rates of tough-to-degrade in less than 3 weeks. Modular units of 10 tonnes/day are used in conjunction with remote process monitoring and control, resulting in fast, cost-effective site clean-up operations. Minimal site encumbrances allow the client continued and unobstructed use of the site during rehabilitation activities. HAPPS is the result of three years intensive R&D, followed by a site run at Montreal's MCBER demonstration platform.
