Industrial Pollution Prevention and Wastewater Minimization in the Barada River Basin, Syria The overall aim of the study was to develop on behalf of the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs an integrated action program for reduction of industrial effluents and industrial water use in the Barada River Basin. The action program included activities, which created environmental awareness, provided technical knowledge and defined economic, institutional as well as financial requirements for water treatment and reduction of water use. Introducing Cleaner Production Options to the Lebanese Tanning Sector, Lebanon The Ministry of Environment contracted Envirotech Ltd. to investigate the pollution caused by the tanning industry and the possibility of introducing cleaner production options to the whole sector. A detailed environmental audit conducted at one tanning facility was to identify cleaner production options to promote economically and ecologically efficient operations that would decrease the negative environmental impact of the tanning industry. Pollution loads in their three media (air, liquid, and solid) were measured during the audit. The audit team assessed energy consumption, water consumption, wastewater discharge and treatment, solid waste management, air emissions and occupational health and safety at the selected facility. Finally, the results of the study were to set the ground for the potential relocation of the tanning sector in Lebanon. Pollution Prevention Options in the Tanning Sector Industry within the Mediterranean Region The regional Activity Centre for Cleaner Production (RAC/CP) contracted Envirotech to carry out a study on pollution prevention options in the tanning sector industry within the MAP countries. The overall aims of this study was to:
Environmental Audit for Textile Industries, Syria The aim of this project was to identify recommendations for the improvement of the environmental performance of the Syrian textile industry. Environmental audits at ten Syrian textile industries were conducted to assist them to:
The study's outcome, in addition to the improvement of environmental performance, was also to bring financial benefits to the industries through an increase in exports and a reduction of energy costs and raw material usage. Environmental Reviews of Industries, Syria This project aimed at the examination of water and gaseous discharges and the solid waste generation from major polluting industries and establishments. The study's outcome assisted the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs and the World Bank to prioritise environmental problems and hence develop a pollution control program for Syria. It had a major impact on the establishment of the National Environmental Action Plan, which was recently submitted to an international donor conference. Environmental Review of Selected Industries, Lebanon Envirotech Ltd., in cooperation with the Dutch consulting company TEBODIN, conducted environmental reviews of the following industries:
Pollution Abatement using the
Decision Support System, Egypt
The project covered 200 major polluting industries in
a pilot region that included Shoubra El-Khaima, Ameriya, Moustorod and Abu-Zaabal.
The Decision Support System was to be implemented throughout Egypt at a later
stage. Application of the Industrial
Facility Program (IFP), Egypt
The detailed study and analysis of the wastewater generated from the dyehouse recommended actions to achieve its compliance with the Egyptian Law No. 93, Decree 9 and designed a wastewater treatment system for the factory.
