KUWAIT, June 7 (KUNA) -- A Kuwaiti cabinet official stressed here Monday the significance of the liquid industrial waste station at southern Wafra to the treatment of waste in a biological and chemical manner that could lead to environmental protection.
The Wafra station receives 5,000-7,500 cubic meters of wastewater and industrial water for treatment and recycling, Dr. Mohammad Al-Sarawi, a Kuwaiti cabinet committee member, told a news conference.
The committee has built an integrated reception unit to get rid of environmentally unfriendly industrial waste that used to be randomly thrown away in desert, he said.
The station receives industrial liquid waste through tanks in three main sinks, the first sink for water and food, the second for oil and chemicals and the third for unknown chemicals, he added.
Wastewater, recycled at the station as per required environmental criteria, is then used in farming, the Kuwaiti official pointed out.
He urged plant owners to cooperate with the cabinet committee to ensure a clean and healthy environment.
The Wafra liquid industrial waste station was officially inaugurated by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defnese Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah last week. - Kuna
