Prime minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) of Comilla EPZ today (Monday), according to a statement. The executive chairman of BEPZA Major General Mohd Habibur Rahman Khan will be present during unveiling the inauguration plaque at Comilla Town Hall. This CETP will treat the liquid waste of the enterprises of Comilla EPZ which will play an effective role for the environmental development of EPZ and its surroundings. Messrs Sigma Engineers Limited (CETP) constructed the Central ETP at a cost of Tk 385 million. It will refine minimum 15 million cubic metres effluent per day both in chemical and biological system. Among the operating industries in Comilla EPZ, 11 industries which need ETP being connected with CETP by shutting down their own ETP. The treatment cost will be reduced and the quality of refinement will be increased by treating the effluent centrally.
