Inauguration Ceremony for Expansion of Water Treatment Plant in Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia
～Contributing to the growing demand for small scale water facilities　in rural areas～

Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia: The Inauguration Ceremony for Expansion project of Water Treatment Plant in Sen Monorom, Mondulkiri “ (the “Project”) was held on October 10, 2024. His Excellency Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation, and Mr. Atsushi Ueno, the Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia, other government officials and water utility staff were present.

In Sen Monorom city, a water treatment plant with its capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, designed by Water and Sewer Bureau of Kitakyushu City of Japan, was constructed under the auspices of “Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund”. The first plant has been on stream since 2016. Since then, in order to meet the further growing water demand, another request was made to the Japanese Embassy to utilize “Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (Kusanone Grant)”. On this occasion, the Project for expansion with an additional capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day has been completed.

Kobelco Eco-Solutions’ ASF (*1) was selected again also for this Project, thanks to our excellent record of performance of the first plant. The contract was signed in March 2024 and completed in September 2024, with short delivery period of 6 months.

Kobelco Eco-Solutions has its supply track record of more than 10 projects for water treatment plant in Cambodia. We will contribute to facilitating water treatment business in Cambodia and Southeast Asia, as well as achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the region.

(*1) ASF…Automatic Siphon Filter. Our unique gravity-type rapid filtration system has the function to backwash the filter by utilizing siphon effect. So the system requires less number of component equipment, which can reduce the maintenance work volume as well as its electricity consumption.
