Abstract

The wastewater treatment system of an industrial park where there are major industries that significantly contribute to the local economy was studied. The cost of wastewater treatment affects not only economies of the major industries themselves in the industrial park but also other economic activities in the region. In this study, a local economic model that includes the major industries which are fishery firms, other firms and households was constructed. The effect of the cost of wastewater treatment of the industrial park on local economy was examined by using the economic model. Three possibilities, namely centralized treatment, in which industrial wastewater is collected by pipeline and treated at a central treatment plant, discharge into public sewerage and treatment by each firm, were evaluated. The centralized treatment was found to be the best option from economical as well as environmental point of view.
