According to the national "Thirteenth Five- + CASS + catalytic oxidation + secondary Year Plan", Bayannur City, where Inner sedimentation tank), and was then discharged Mongolia Company is located at, has made into Ulansuhai Nur after meeting the discharge every effort to foster the integrative standard through the further treatment. Inner management of Ulansuhai Nur according to Mongolia Company, as a major drainage the comprehensive management ideas of company in Linhe District, implements the "Ecological Water Replenishment, Pollution philosophy of "Ecology First, Strive for Green Control and Reduction at Source, Restoration Development". Since the second half of 2017, and Treatment, Resource Utilization, and it has actively carried out reclaimed water Sustainable Development". In the past, the reuse work to achieve the goal of zero wastewater generated by Inner Mongolia wastewater discharge to control and reduce Company was discharged into the industrial pollution at source. This project is a water- park centralized sewage treatment plant for saving and environmentally-friendly project. further treatment after internal treatment (pre- After the implementation, sewage discharge treatment + hydrolytic acidification + UASB/IC and fresh water intake can be reduced. BACKGROUND Inner Mongolia Company has completed three treatment station; the third phase is a 17,000 phases of the reclaimed water reuse project tonnes/day project with raw water coming from with handling capacity up to 37,000 the treated wastewater from the company's tonnes/day. The first phase is a 10,000 fourth and fifth sewage treatment station. The tonnes/day project with raw water coming from final test of the project was completed in the the acidic wastewater of the MVR evaporator end of 2019, and the whole project will be fully condensate project; the second phase is a put into use in 2020. The reclaimed water 10,000 tonnes/day project with raw water generated will be used to replenish the coming from the treated wastewater from the circulating water in the company's cooling company's first, second and third sewage tower and in some production processes. PROJECT STATUS OBJECTIVES AND EFFECTIVENESS The maximum daily treatment capacity of water sources, reduce drainage, and reclaimed water reuse project is 37,000 implement wastewater recycling. Being tonnes, which is expected to reduce benefited from the reclaimed water reuse wastewater discharge by approximately 12.21 project, Inner Mongolia Company plans to million tonnes per annum. The reclaimed basically achieve the goal of zero wastewater water reuse project can increase the utilization discharge in 2020, and reduce the annual rate of water resources, reduce the amount of amount of outsourced water by 56%, which sewage discharged, and minimize wastewater can save about 6.83 million tonnes of water discharge while reducing the amount of fresh per annum. water intake.
