It was found that industrial entities were discharging wastewater in concentrations that are much higher (around 4 times) than the values set by the current laws and regulations
If the organic loads are calculated based on the observed flows and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) values acquired from all three measuring points, the load on the planned WWTP would be in the range between 8,200 and 47,000 PE, which is much greater than the WWTP's nominal capacity of 3,850 PE.
After completing the research, the JCWI suggested increasing the WWTP's initial capacity to 15,000 PE. This value would be achievable by enforcing a set of measures that industrial sector has to follow.
