Quantity-Quality Monitoring of Water and Wastewater Samples Assessment from Different Units of Pars Paper Plant to Reduce Water Consumption

The paper industry is one of the most important and strategic products in the country s infrastructure industry, which pays millions of dollars annually to buy this valuable product. The pulp and paper industries, in comparison with other cellulosic industries, due to the diversity of papers and high utilization of water in production, have led the industry, along with the automotive, oil, petrochemical and steel industries, to become the largest water consumption industry which is naturally a wastewater producer‟s existing industries. The amount of water need for cellulose, wood and paper industries is about % 5.25 of the total industries in the world, which is ranked seventh in terms of volume of water harvesting, but in terms of water content (water consumption per unit of production product) are in the second category. The intensity of the water flow consumed by the pulp and paper industry is such attracts the attention of the scientific community and the implementation of the world s experts to make the principle of purification and recycling of water. The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate the water flow rate of the paper-making plant to mass balance of different units. It is caused to provide solutions tailored to the volume of operations to control, recycle and re-circulate wastewater and sewage which is caused by the activities of this plant. All of these helped to optimization and reduction water is consumed. The results indicated the possibility of purification, recovery and re-circulation of waters from some paper factory units to consume in other units by making water storage tanks and construction of a well-equipped water treatment plant, as well as leakage control in the water circulation network, separating water circulation circuits with establishing the Water Working Group, close cooperation and collaboration of all producing personnel to better management of water and removal of pollutants with high organic matter in the wastewater of the Pars Paper Company.
