In response to the government's promotion of environmental protection, the VGH-KS is dedicated to the control of pollution caused by waste water and waste materials and has been aggressively engaged in recycling, waste reduction, energy saving and landscaping work. In 1995, the VGH-KS was awarded the 4th ROC Corporate Environmental Protection Award.

(1) Waste Water Treatment Site

Treatment includes nuclear medicine, laboratory, kitchen, and general household waste water at a daily turnover of 2400 metric tons. Waste water is treated in an active charcoal bed and then routed to a sterilization tank where chlorine is added before discharge. Waste water after treatment meets the waste water discharge criteria. To make full use of water resources, some of the waste water has been used in watering gardens inside the hospital and on hospital grounds.

(2) Incinerator

The incinerator is used in the treatment of flammable waste and has a daily turnover of 4 metric tons. Waste enters the furnace via an automatic input system, the exhaust is converted in the waste heat collector and then treated in secondary pollution prevention equipment before being discharged into the atmosphere. The collected steam is transported by steam pipelines in the turbine room for use in different areas of the hospital to make full use of the residual waste.
