It is a product of Wesolife Company Limited - a startup that shares the mission of protecting and improving the quality of human life, providing environmentally friendly solutions in the field of water treatment and disinfection.
Green solutions for the environment
Aiming at the field of disinfection in the aquaculture industry, Wesolife was established in 2020 with many experienced experts and a passion for the environment. The company applies electrochemical technology to create chlorine from salt water without using chemicals.
Mr. Huynh Cong Tan, founder and CEO of Wesolife, said that in reality, in life and production, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, chlorine disinfection is quite important. In intensive and super-intensive shrimp farming, chlorine is widely used to disinfect water.
However, using liquid chlorine to disinfect water poses many dangers to both human health and the environment.
It was these concerns that prompted him to seek a more sustainable and safer alternative. He said he began testing automated chlorine powder mixing in 2018. Two years later, they experimented with electrochemical technology to produce chlorine directly from salt water.
"This technology helps reduce safety risks, operating costs, and especially reduces CO₂ emissions, which is essential in the current context of climate change," Mr. Tan shared.
In particular, focusing on optimal disinfection solutions, environmental protection and sustainable development. More broadly, the solution can be applied to disinfect shrimp farming water, treat water supply and wastewater, wash vegetables and fruits in families, hospitals and agriculture.
This Ca Mau-based start-up is perfecting an IoT solution to put into operation. This helps monitor water quality and the environment in aquaculture. Thereby improving farming efficiency as well as safety during operation, minimizing risks.
Wesolife products have been tested and successfully applied in many aquaculture farms, including several countries in the region.
In addition, Wesolife also researches and develops other extended products to meet customer needs, and contribute to the sustainable development of society.
We aim to become the leading provider of green and sustainable solutions for life. Wesolife is a combination of "Weso" which means "We Solution - we have solutions" and "Life" which symbolizes life, health, and environment.

Enhance brand value internationally
With over 25 years of experience working in the water supply and drainage industry, Wesolife founder Tan has had the opportunity to witness and participate in the process of water disinfection with liquefied chlorine gas. These experiences have given Mr. Tan an insight into the challenges related to safety and the environment.
Starting out with electrochemical sterilization equipment, Mr. Tan believed that this product needed to provide a green, sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. However, the biggest difficulty the team encountered was not only financial but also technical in the early years.
“Convincing the market to accept a new product that is safer and more sustainable than traditional methods is also a challenge.
It is the support from the Ca Mau Investment Promotion and Startup Support Center (IPEC Ca Mau) that has helped us gradually overcome difficulties and affirm our value in the market," he said.

Wesolife's difference lies in the application of electrochemical technology to create safe disinfection products that do not depend on imported chemicals. The company targets a niche market but has great potential for growth, especially when the demand for green and safe solutions is increasing in many industries.
Sharing about the upcoming plan, Wesolife will expand production scale, improve technology. At the same time, seek international cooperation opportunities to bring products to the world.
Wesolife has won many prestigious awards, including first prize in the Ca Mau Province Innovation and Startup Competition 2022, champion of Design Thinking - Open Innovation 2023, top 10 at Techfest Vietnam 2023, top 50 at Start-up Wheel 2023.
2024 is an important milestone when this start-up won 3 major awards at the Tech Planter Vietnam 2024 competition. In which, Vietnam's representative attended the final round in Malaysia and entered the top 10 of the Green Innovation Fellowship program.
