The conference featured an interactive session focusing on cutting-edge technologies, emerging trends, and collaborative strategies in the field of water and wastewater management. Topics covered include advanced treatment technologies, resource recovery, water reuse, and more. The conference also highlighted DuPont’s latest advancements and contributions to the industry.
Chief Guest Honorable Mr. Shaikh Yusuf Harun, Senior Secretary and Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) said, Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority-BEZA is constantly working to take the country forward on the path of development and industrialization following the dream of the Father of the Nation.
He also said, I would like to thank the DuPont and all concerned for organizing this Water and Wastewater Solutions Conference. It is a profound honor and privilege to stand before you today as we discuss a topic of utmost significance: ‘Advanced Water and Wastewater Solutions: A Collaborative Approach’. This gathering represents not only a convergence of minds but also a collective commitment towards addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time – sustainable water management.
BEZA plans to set up desalination plants in coastal areas- 1000 MLD (Million Liter per Day) water requirement in 2040 in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN)
In recent years, industries have increasingly focused on refining and treating water to lessen environmental impacts. DuPont Water Solutions leads this effort with innovative technologies for sustainable water management by offering customized solutions to meet specific customer needs, whether it’s boosting recovery rates or cutting energy use.
DuPont Water Solutions’ Multi-Tech Portfolio enables customers to comply with government regulations, helping them achieve long-term sustainability objectives,h added. BEZA has developed short, medium, and long-term plans for water supply in economic zones. This also included water planned to be reused from effluent through CETP. Additionally, we would like to establish a desalination plant in the future if required. However, most of the zones such as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN), Moheshkhali EZ, Sabrang Tourism Park, Chinese Industrial & Economic Zone, and Indian Economic Zone are situated beside the Bay of Bengal poses significant challenges regarding water management. I believe BEZA as well as investors will get a clear understanding of desalination from today’s Water and Wastewater Solutions Conference. Which will help to solve the economic zones’ water problem.
The advancements in water and wastewater solutions will hopefully offer us unique opportunities to not only mitigate the adverse impacts of industrial activities on our environment but also to foster sustainable development that ensures the well-being of current and future generations,added Chairman of BEZA.
