Khuzestan Steelmaker to Harness Unconventional Water Resources

To help conserve diminishing water resources and draw on unconventional means for industrial use in the arid province of Khuzestan, an agreement was signed between the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) and Shadegan Steel Company on Wednesday, head of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The water company will supply 8 million cubic meters of reclaimed water per year to the steelmaker over 25 years,” Mohammad Reza Karaminejad was quotes as saying by ISNA. 
The first phase of the Shadegan wastewater plant became operational in July and is expected to help preserve the southern namesake city’s underground water resources and optimize wastewater for farming and industries, Karaminejad said.
“The plant’s expansion plan will start soon and upon completion of the second phase, the facility’s annual processing capacity will reach 10 million cubic meters.”
