TEHRAN, August 24 (NIPNA) – Iran’s Vice President and head of the Department of Environment, Shina Ansari, visited Fajr Energy Khuzestan’s facilities in the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone during Government Week, reviewing wastewater management and environmental-control measures at the industrial complex.

Ansari, accompanied by Mohammad-Reza Motiri, managing director of the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone Organization, toured Fajr Energy’s industrial wastewater treatment facilities.

The visit focused on the treatment of industrial and sanitary wastewater, the management and recycling of treated effluent, and measures to monitor and control environmental pollutants.

Fajr Energy, which operates wastewater-treatment units, plays a key role in managing wastewater generated by petrochemical complexes located in the special economic zone.

Company officials also briefed Ansari on measures covering waste management, continuous monitoring of wastewater and air emissions, reductions in water consumption and environmental improvement projects.

Damage from recent conflict

Ansari also inspected sections of Fajr Energy that were damaged during the recent conflict and was briefed on the extent of the damage sustained by the facility.

The head of Iran’s Department of Environment pledged the agency’s cooperation within its regulatory authority to help accelerate environmental measures and facilitate the restart of damaged sections of the company.

The visit highlights the growing focus on wastewater recycling, emissions monitoring and water efficiency across Iran’s petrochemical industry, as producers seek to maintain operations while addressing environmental constraints.
