Pulp & Paper Wastewater
Full-Line Online Monitoring of Paper-Mill Wastewater in Vietnam
1 / 3Project Background
A paper manufacturer in Vietnam needed online monitoring across its entire wastewater treatment train — 53 monitoring points covering every stage from process to discharge.
Customer Challenge
The mill had long relied on imported instrument brands: procurement, system deployment and O&M costs were all high, and a mixed-brand fleet brought poor compatibility, fragmented after-sales and inefficient maintenance. It needed a single accountable supplier without giving up measurement performance.
The TENGINE Solution
TENGINE delivered a one-stop, full-range package of Chinese instruments from a single brand: 53 monitoring points covering level, flow, pH, dissolved oxygen, pressure and other key process and water-quality indicators across the whole wastewater treatment line — 24-hour online monitoring with accurate, responsive data.
Implementation
All 53 points were supplied by one brand with unified integration, replacing the mixed imported fleet — simplifying procurement, commissioning and after-sales into a single channel.
Project Results
The mill achieved a high-quality replacement of European and American brands: measurement performance matches the imported equipment it replaced, while overall project cost and long-term O&M expense dropped substantially. Stable process control and compliant discharge now support the mill's intelligent, refined environmental management.
Related Case Studies
Tofu production is water-intensive, and process water can carry contaminants such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. Without continuous monitoring, quality risks to the product — and health risks to consumers — can go undetected. At the same time, improperly managed wastewater discharge harms the environment and exposes the company to regulatory violations and legal liability.
The mixed industrial influent is complex and swings hard; the AAO process demands close tracking of DO, sludge concentration and quality parameters; and with monitoring points spread across the whole plant, a single instrument type could never fit every location. Data lag or loss directly threatens process stability and effluent compliance.
Industrial and domestic inflows mix with wide quality swings, while the PPP contract demands accurate effluent quantity for operational settlement and discharge control. Instruments had to resist interference and run stably for years.
