[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced on the 12th that the flow regulation tank installation project within the Miryang Clean Water Management Center, which began construction in March last year, will be completed in September this year and will operate normally in October.

The flow regulation tank project involved a total budget of 6 billion KRW, including 4.2 billion KRW in national funds and 1.8 billion KRW in local funds. The facility capacity is 7,000 tons per day, and it was completed in about one and a half years.

The Miryang Clean Water Management Center is a sewage treatment plant with a daily capacity of 30,000 tons, completed in November 2000, and has been managed by the Miryang City Facilities Management Corporation since 2017. Until now, the Miryang Clean Water Management Center had no flow regulation tank, causing large fluctuations in sewage inflow by time of day, making proper sewage treatment difficult.

Once the flow regulation tank operates, it will be possible to evenly regulate the unstable sewage inflow and send it to the sewage treatment facility.

Jang Yong-chan, head of the Water and Sewage Department, stated, "With the installation of the flow regulation tank, stable sewage treatment will be possible, and the water quality of the Nakdong River, the discharge area of the treatment plant, will be preserved and improved, which is also expected to protect the aquatic ecosystem."
