Nguyen Thi Bich Abstract: Hoa Phat Furniture Factory is one of the biggest factories in Pho Noi A Industrial Zone-Hung Yen province. The major field production of Hoa Phat Furniture factory is the electroplating industry. Electroplating technology has a very important contribution to the industry. However, waste water from the electroplating process is a very worrying problem by changing the pH from low to high levels, especially containing heavy metal ions (Cr, Ni, Zn, and Cu) causing serious pollution on the ecological environment, seriously affecting human health.
The main goals of the study were: (1) to assess the manufacturing processes and the manufacturing technology related to the wastewater streams of Hoa Phat Furniture Factory;(2) to assess the wastewater quality and characteristics of each wastewater stream before and after treatment by the wastewater treatment system and (3) to assess the treatment efficiency of wastewater treatment system - Hoa Phat Furniture Factory. Wastewater sampling were collected from 04 different sources before treatment and 01 final source after iii e treatment with frequency 1 time/month. The indicators in wastewater were analysis: pH, TSS, Cr6+, Cr3+, Ni, COD, NH4+, total mineral oil from the electroplating manufacturing process. There are drastic variations for pH (2.2), hexavalent Chromium (91÷389 mg/l), trivalent Chromium (117÷139 mg/l), COD (35÷750 mg/l), Nickel (1÷46 mg/l), Fe (30÷32 mg/l) level at different sampling time and different sources.
Water parameters were higher than the standard of column A of QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT for industrial wastewater quality many times. Viet Sing Environmental Joint Stock Company has been installing and designing this wastewater treatment system for wastewater from electroplating manufacturing process of Hoa Phat Furniture Factory. After being treated by the wastewater treatment system, all indicators of electroplating wastewater meet the demand of standard of column A of QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT for industrial wastewater quality.

Ration ability of the study Nowadays, environmental protection has become a very urgent problem of all countries in the world because it relates to the survival issue of humanity. Vietnam is no exception to that trend.
Viet Nam industrialization is growing very fast. Electroplating technology has a very important contribution to the industry. Electroplating applications in the manufacturing industry are very wide, such as in the field of production of consumer goods, mechanical engineering industry, motorcycle parts manufacturing, and automobile. However, waste water from the electroplating process is a very worrying problem by changing the pH from low to high levels, and especially containing heavy metal ions (TSS, TDS, Cr6+, Cr3+, Ni, COD, BOD, NH4+) causing serious pollution to the ecological environment, seriously affecting human health.
Hoa Phat Furniture Factory is one of the biggest factories in Pho Noi A Industrial Zone - Hung Yen province. The major field production of Hoa Phat Furniture Factory is the electroplating industry. Several years ago, the residents in the area suffered from direct factory discharge of wastewater in the locality and that is the reason why soil and water is seriously polluted. Water systems of channels suffered daily yellow wastewater flows while rice and vegetables in the field often lost revenue.
Wastewater treatment systems of this factory was built in 2008, it has a capacity of 10m3/h, whereas 744 by decision of the Ministry of Natural 4 e Resources and Environment. However, in the investment plans, at the end 2014, factories will have one more electroplating line and move an electroplating line from Nhu Quynh to the factory. Therefore, Pho Noi factory has: 02 electroplating lines with wastewater rate flow of 720m3/day (equal 30m3/h). The issue of the factory depends on the old wastewater treatment system to improve and complete technology design, enhancing the old system to become the new system with a total capacity of 30m3/h.
To learn about the properties and processing technology, assess the performance and the capacity of wastewater systems in electroplating wastewater, though the most general comments on the system to be able to apply electroplating wastewater treatment systems to Hoa Phat Furniture factory and add personal knowledge, the authors selected topics: “Assessing the electroplating wastewater treatment system of Hoa Phat furniture factory - Pho Noi industrial zone - Hung Yen province” 1. Aims of the study - Investigating and assessing the manufacturing processes and the manufacturing technology related to the wastewater streams of Hoa Phat Furniture Factory. - Identifying and assessing the wastewater quality and characteristics of each wastewater stream from the production process on both before and after treatment by the wastewater treatment system - Hoa Phat Furniture Factory. - Assessing the treatment efficiency of wastewater treatment system - Hoa Phat Furniture Factory.

Limitations The restrictions during the research process include inadequate support devices, equipment and lack of practical experiences. Definitions The concept of environment According to UNESCO’s declaration (1981), the environment may refer to the entire natural systems and systems due to humans creating its 6 e surroundings, in which people survive by their labor, exploit the natural or man- made resources, to meet their needs. Concept of sources of wastewater Source of wastewater is a source resulting from wastewater and it is a source of environmental pollution. Categories: There are many ways classifying sources of wastewater, according to Hoang Van Hung (2009), sources of wastewater discharged is classified as follows (Hung, 2009).
Classification according to sources of water pollution. - Source of industrial wastewater. - Source of agricultural waste water. - Source of natural waste water.
- Source of domestic wastewater. 7 e CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW 2. Scientific basis and legal topics 2.
