Khorasan Razavi Steelmaker to Utilize Treated Wastewater

To harness unconventional water resources for industrial use in the drought-stricken province of Khorasan Razavi, an agreement has been signed on Monday between the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) and Sangan Steel Company in Khaf County, deputy director of Planning and Development Department at the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“As per the contract, the steelmaker will not only expand wastewater collection network in Taibad in the eastern Khorasan Razavi Province but also build a sewage treatment facility in the next two years,” Katayoun Delzendeh was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.
“The plan entails laying a 135-km pipeline to collect sewage produced by 15,000 households. Once completed, the plant’s treated wastewater will be sold to the steelmaker for the next 20 years.”
