Lecturer Phan Thanh Thuan, Environmental Engineering, Can Tho University, said the purpose of the VWS visit was to help students have a more practical and thorough view of the works and processes of wastewater treatment, water supply, solid waste, leachate, etc. serving the field of study and in the near future, students will research specialized knowledge.

"Over the years, Can Tho University has collaborated with VWS many times to help students learn and experience; at least each course, students will visit VWS once. In my opinion, VWS is really modern. Although this is a waste and garbage treatment company, with high technology, they have very good control over odors and the process of treating waste sources," said this lecturer.
