Manufactures in Central Iran Reject Recycled Water

Only a fraction of treated wastewater produced in Khomein County’s Wastewater Treatment Plant in Markazi Province is used in industries and the rest is dumped into rivers, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“As there is almost no market for recycled water, it is poured into rivers, and the stench has made life miserable for the residents in and around small towns of the county over the last 10 years,” Yousef Erfani Nasab was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Treatment capacity of Khomein’s sewage treatment plant is 12,000 cubic meters per day, of which 7,000 cubic meters can be used by municipalities and industries namely steel, petrochemicals and car factories.
