The resident enterprises of two areas – the industrial park «Zapadniy» and a new eco-industrial park «Prigorodniy» will get their own wastewater treatment facilities. Currently the neighboring «Azot» company’s system is used for effluent discharge.

386 million rubles subsidy for the implementation of project was allocated from the federal and the regional budgets. All the work is expected to be finished by the end of the year 2025. The newly created infrastructure will become municipality property.

One of the main water consumers in the park «Zapadniy» is a paper recycling plant Kuzbasskiy SKARABEY. In spite of Kuzbasskiy SKARABEY is eco-friendly manufacture and its wastewater is relatively harmless, treatment facilities are necessary because of several reasons. First of all, it will allow to return up to 70% of the purified water to a technological cycle that meets corporate resource-saving policy. The savings could be used to develop industrial area and social programmes for the staff. Besides, the enterprise will be able to fully meet the regulatory requirements for water quality by Azot.
