Posted by GTE on

GTE is serving as a technical consultant for a project aimed at recovering wastewater generated from various sectors, such as textiles, chemicals, electronics, and food, operating within the Cerkezkoy Organized Industrial Zone (COIZ). The project intends for the recovered wastewater to be used as process water in the companies within the OSB.

As part of the World Bank’s Green OIZ program, a wastewater recovery facility with an initial capacity of 25,000 m³/day will be established in COIZ. The plan is to recover the produced wastewater and use it as a secondary water source for 17 companies within the OSB. This is expected to help reduce the pressure on water resources and contribute to the sustainable management of these resources. In this context, a comprehensive feasibility study is being conducted. The study aims to present detailed outcomes evaluating the project’s technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts.

Posted by GTE on

GTE and ESCON companies are technical contractors, and the Ministry of Industry and Technology is the beneficiary of the “Türkiye: A Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Pathway Analysis for the Fertiliser Sector” project financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The aim of this project is to determine a roadmap for the Turkish fertiliser industry and to harmonise with the European Green Deal in this context.

The greenhouse gas and policy interaction model to be developed and the effects of the EU Emissions Trading System and the Border Carbon Regulation Mechanism will be examined by analysing the current situation and emission reduction scenarios within the scope of the project. In the study, which will be contributed by the leading fertiliser producer companies in Turkey, relevant public institutions, and national and international non-governmental organisations, precise results will be obtained about the investment and technology needs for the sector for decarbonisation in the medium and long-term.

Increasing Wastewater Recovery Opportunities in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone

Posted by GTE on

GTE has carried out studies for the efficient use of water and increasing the possibilities of recycling wastewater in the facilities located in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone (DOSAB).

Due to the expected increase in water consumption in the industry, the impact of climate change on water resources, and the rise in water costs, wastewater recovery opportunities should be increased, and the sustainability of the water provided by DOSAB to its participants should be ensured. While reducing the use of underground water resources in the project, it is aimed to strengthen the competitiveness of companies in international platforms by increasing the rate of recovered water.

Investigation of Wastewater Recovery Opportunities in İzmir Ataturk Organised Industrial Zone (IAOIZ)

Posted by GTE on

GTE studied the possibilities of using existing technologies to recover wastewater produced in the Izmir Ataturk Organized Industrial Zone (IAOSB), one of our country’s leading organised industrial zones.

Since the increasing water demand in the industry can no longer be met sustainably with the existing surface and underground water resources and the water costs increase, the wastewater in IAOSB needs to be recovered and reused. The project’s scope is aimed at creating a secondary water source to be used by the industry.
