Nasreya: a treatment and disposal facility for industrial hazardous waste in Alexandria, Egypt
A facility for the treatment and disposal of industrial hazardous waste has been
established in Alexandria, Egypt. Phase I of the facility encompassing a secure
landfill and solar evaporation ponds is ready to receive waste, and Phase II
encompassing physico-chemical treatment, solidification, and interim storage is
underway. The facility, the Nasreya Centre, is the first of its kind in Egypt,
and represents the nucleus for the integration, improvement and further
expansion of different hazardous waste management practices and services in
Alexandria. It has been developed within the overall legal framework of the
Egyptian Law for the Environment, and is expected to improve prospects for
enforcement of the regulatory requirements specified in this law. It has been
developed with the overall aim of promoting the establishment of an integrated
industrial hazardous waste management system in Alexandria, serving as a
demonstration to be replicated elsewhere in Egypt. For Phase I, the Centre only
accepts inorganic industrial wastes. In this respect, a waste acceptance policy
has been developed, which is expected to be reviewed during Phase II, with an
expansion of the waste types accepted. ZDROJ:http://www.medscape.com
