Abadan Oil Refinery to Use Reclaimed Wastewater 

To draw on unconventional water resources for industrial use in the arid province of Khuzestan, Abadan’s wastewater treatment plant’s output will be sold to Abadan Oil Refinery, the head of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) and the oil refining company have agreed to sign a contract, based on which the former will supply the latter with reclaimed wastewater for industrial purposes,” Mohammad Reza Karaminejad was quoted as saying by ISNA. 
Abadan’s wastewater treatment project has registered 80% progress and will become operational in March 2023, he added, noting that 500 km of the network have been laid to collect and transfer effluent to the treatment facility.
