What to do to commercialize high-tech waste treatment technology?

Against this background, the development of advanced waste treatment technologies, especially those developed domestically by the Vietnamese themselves, is interested and encouraged by the State. Even so, inventors are still facing many difficulties and waste treatment models are still difficult to replicate.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Xuyen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Patent Research and Technology Exploitation, Ministry of Science and Technology and engineer Nguyen Gia Long, Director of Hydraulic - Machine Co., Ltd. have some opinions on this issue. :

Mr. Nguyen Huu Xuyen: Potential commercialization of Vietnamese technology waste treatment technology

Currently, Vietnam has many high-tech waste treatment technologies with inventions and inventions of Vietnamese people. These technologies are all being tested and can be applied nationwide.

Specifically, the high-tech medical waste incinerator YT30 of Mr. Trinh Dinh Nang, Director of HTL Construction Company; automatic garbage classification system by engineer Lai Minh Chuc of the Center for Technology Research and Development of the Built Environment; wastewater treatment equipment with Japanese technology built by engineer Truong Van Dan, Green and Green Environment Company.

The high-tech medical waste incinerator YT30 built by Mr. Trinh Dinh Nang is a continuous designed furnace that can still put combustion materials in while the furnace is burning. After burning, only glass and aluminum oxide remain, all other substances are burned, including needles. The burning speed is 4 times faster than the same capacity furnaces of the UK, Germany, Japan...

This is a patented technology in 2012, so it ensures innovative and replicable novelty. This incinerator is convenient for operation and repair because the equipment is fitted with monitoring measuring devices

The application of an automatic garbage classification system developed by engineer Lai Minh Chuc of the Center for Technology Research and Development of the Built Environment has succeeded in creatively integrating automation and information technology. digital information in the creation of a complex of automatic equipment that separates unsorted waste at source.

The garbage sorting system has a good garbage classification ability, which can recover more than 80% of waste for recycling. The machine is automatically programmed to sort garbage into 7 different categories. Each has its own door so recyclables can be tracked and collected. The system is equipped with automatic measurement and monitoring devices.

Wastewater treatment equipment with Japanese technology invented by engineer Truong Van Dan, Green and Green Environment Company. This is a wastewater treatment technology at source developed from Japanese Jokaso treatment technology, which inherits the advantages of Japanese technology, which is very convenient in the process of installation and operation, and takes up little space.

The outstanding advantage is that this device is completely resistant to the most severe weather conditions, floods, natural disasters... This is a device that can treat medical and domestic wastewater, which is mostly contaminated with organic waste. thoroughly and show the preeminent in economic and technical options.

I think that waste treatment is one of the directions prioritized by the State and the society. Therefore, the possibility of commercializing the above products will be well received by the society if the technologies show their superiority.
Currently, Vietnam has about 130 registered enterprises related to garbage sorting activities. This is a relatively potential market for garbage sorters to enter the market.

Besides, there is a huge amount of waste coming from rural to urban areas. For example, an average person in a rural area generates 0.8 kg of waste/day, in urban areas about 1.2 kg of waste/day. Currently, garbage in rural and urban areas has not been classified well, so this is a relatively potential market to put these technologies into the market.

Although there is a lot of potential for development, these models are still not widely applied and widely developed, in my opinion there are many reasons both from the State and enterprises. Specifically, the State still lacks policies to support inventors, lacks a mechanism to support capital and technology for businesses. Meanwhile, the inventors themselves are very weak in protecting their new technology and spreading the product widely.

In order for advanced waste treatment technologies to be widely applied in the near future, in my opinion, the Government's priority is to develop advanced domestic technologies, thereby enhancing the national position in waste management. science and technology and improve the national technology indexes.

However, in order to develop, the State needs to support propaganda about the advantages of these technologies to the public and the people. In addition, the State needs to support businesses to access potential markets; Support the business planning process to bring products to market.

For some models, the State needs to create conditions for transformation and construction into science and technology enterprises so that they can enjoy state incentives such as tax incentives. The government also needs to support businesses to build records to evaluate and value this technology so that businesses can carry out capital contribution and transfer activities with third parties.

In addition, inventors also need financial support to participate in international exhibitions and technology fairs to promote their products so that they can be replicated and developed.
In the immediate future, the Ministry of Science and Technology has a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Planning and Investment in supporting the piloting of products and commercializing research results for Vietnamese inventors and scientists. in a number of priority areas for pilot implementation.

Mr. Nguyen Gia Long: Need a legal barrier to protect Vietnamese technology
WTE waste electricity technology has been successfully tested for the first time in Vietnam and is interested by the Government and ministries to bring the technology to life soon. This is the technology we researched and developed from 2002 to present.
We have taken advantage of previous technologies to develop this waste electricity technology. With the characteristics of no need to sort waste from the source, no land fund for burying, no secondary emissions, a closed chain, no environmental pollution...

We find that when we do research into converting waste into energy, we are more proactive, invest less, and the after-waste product has a higher value and is in line with the trend of using renewable energy in the world.

The feature of this product is that it cannot be fragmented, but needs to be done simultaneously and centrally. We are also experimenting and installing equipment in HCMC. Ho Chi Minh. Our orientation is to apply each province has a waste power plant.

We really need the support of the Government and central ministries because this is big technology. We need a legal barrier to protect Vietnam's new technology.

In addition, we also need funds to carry out projects in some major provinces and then spread to the whole country with the aim of converting waste into electrical energy and connecting to the national grid.
