wastewater treatment and reuse in iran: situation analysis
Tags: , , , ,
  • How much wastewater is produced in Iran?
  • Total municipal wastewater generated in Iran is 4.61 billion m3/y out of which only 42% is treated. The conventional activated sludge process accounted for the largest share (>60%) in municipal wastewater treatment in Iran. The treatment plants operational costs usually amount up to 0.2 US $/m3 wastewater.
  • Which sectors can be used for wastewater reuse in Iran?
  • In general, Iran has three major sectors where wastewater reuse can be utilized, including for agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses. To evaluate this more precisely, the quantity and quality of effluent in each sector according to government statistics and predictions in the year 2021 (1,400 in terms of solar year) are presented.
  • What is the impact of water Environ Technology in Iran?
  • J Water Environ Technol. 2010;8 (3):151-65. doi: 2965/jwet.2010.151. With population and economy growth, water usage, wastewater generation and treatment, treatment plants capacity and innovation ability in Iran have increased dramatically in the last decades.
  • Why is the wastewater treatment plant in Iran poorly treated?
  • As can be seen in Table 2, the use of conventional treatment processes, lack of application of advanced technologies, improper operation, skill-shortage of labor, and not updated wastewater discharge standards can be the main reasons for the poorly treated effluent quality in the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Iran.
