Sebastian
Fischer, director of planning at the Germany company, told NIPNA that his
company is planning to offer solutions for treating industrial wastewater
produced by petrochemical plants in Iran.
“We
have recently learned that Iranian companies have taken positive measures in
limiting natural gas flaring and managing greenhouse gases,” the official added.
He said
German government has offered a generous budget to wastewater management
programs so they can carry out feasibility studies on projects for free.
Fischer
said the projects can then be funded by Iranian or international investors
after feasibility studies are concluded.
He said
Iran’s Department of Environment has inked a deal with Germany’s Ministry of
Environment in this regard which will be enforced by late 2017.
“The German
government is very serious about implementation of this project so that many
environmental hazards are addressed in Iran,” the official added.
“We
introduce wastewater management projects to private companies in petrochemical sector,”
he added.
