The Taiwanese government recently announced promising results from a pilot wastewater reuse plant serving the Nanzi Export Processing zone in Kaohsiung city, southern Taiwan. The $2.26 million plant is able to treat 4000mVday of wastewater and produces 1800mVday of recycled water for industrial use. It began operating in January this year after a two year design, construction and commissioning process. Economic minster Shih Yen-shiang told a press conference:'Although capacity is modest in comparison with other facilities in the region, it will spearhead Taiwan's efforts to use more treated water in a variety of areas. We also urge firms that consume large amounts of water to install recycling facilities and reduce stress on Taiwan's resources.'
