Pipe-Laying Work Begins to Supply Reclaimed Effluent to PGSEZ 

Operations to supply treated wastewater from Bandar Abbas Wastewater Treatment Plant in Hormozgan Province to industries in the west of the port city have started, the head of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“Large volumes of reclaimed sewage are dumped into the Persian Gulf as there is no buyer for the valuable resource, but a new 22-km pipeline will help transfer the recycled effluent to the Persian Gulf Special Economic Zone,” the Energy Ministry’s news agency also quoted Abdolhamid Hamzehpour as saying. 
Upon the project’s completion at an estimated cost of $20 million, around 110,000 cubic meters of treated wastewater produced in Bandar Abbas Wastewater Treatment Plant per day will be piped to major companies in PGSEZ, namely the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization, Hormozgan, Kaveh and Saba steel companies, in addition to Bandar Abbas Oil Refinery, he added.
