Khorasan Razavi Steel Mills Harnessing Reclaimed Sewage

To preserve shrinking groundwater resources and use unconventional sources in Khorasan Razavi Province, an agreement has been signed between the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) and Rokh Steel Company in Torbat Heydariyeh County, deputy managing director at the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The water company will annually supply 3.6 million cubic meters of reclaimed wastewater to the steelmaker,” Mousa Alavi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
A 350-km sewage collection pipeline gathers all the effluent in the city and, after treating it, transfers the water to the steel mill through a 40-kilometer pipe, he added.
