Sewage treatment gear heading to Cambodia

Equipment for two sewage treatment facilities - one with a daily capacity of 10 metric tons and the other with 50 tons - was packed for a trip from South China to Cambodia recently. It is expected to arrive by the end of June.

Under a memorandum of understanding signed by China and Cambodia in July, IER Environmental Protection Engineering Technology, an environmental pollution control company in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, is providing the equipment.

Liu Huan, manager of the company's technology and research center, said the equipment facilities would help relieve serious water pollution along Cambodia's coast near Krong Kep.
