Abstract

The industrial wastewater management in Egypt is one of the main goals for sustainable development. The water crisis in Egypt has lead the industrial sector to search for resource efficiency and cleaner production technologies through a proper management of water, energy, and raw materials. As a result, the aim of this study is to compare between 2 different environmental solutions for industrial wastewater management in Quesna industrial zone in Monofeya governorate. Industrial wastewater samples were taken from ten factories representing the ten main industrial sectors in the study area and five parameters were measured in each sample.
Results achieved from the two different applied scenarios showed variation in flow rates, industrial wastewater loads, treatment methods, removal efficiencies, capital and operation costs of the applied scenarios. Finally, these scenarios were compared technically and financially to determine the best environmental solution for industrial wastewater management in Quesna industrial zone. This study could be applied for all industrial zone in Egypt using the same methodologies.
