Tehran Refinery Focused on Harnessing Reclaimed Sewage

A development project to replace depleting municipal water with treated wastewater in Tehran Oil Refining Company has made 53% progress, the head of the refining company said.
“The huge refinery in southern Tehran is committed to reducing consumption of piped water for green spaces and industrial purposes, and it is doing its best to harness unconventional sources,” Hamed Armanfar was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news portal.
The refinery has increased the capacity of its wastewater treatment unit to 11,000 cubic meters per day to use reclaimed sewage instead of municipal water, he added, noting that the expansion project will double output.
