Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority and POSCO Wide Sign Agreement to Promote Wastewater Reuse

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority and POSCO Wide have signed a business agreement to promote the reuse of treated wastewater.

On the 25th, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority announced that starting this month, POSCO Wide will supply 500,000 tons annually of treated wastewater from Songdo to the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, which it operates. Additionally, both parties agreed to cooperate in finding new ways to utilize treated wastewater to create an eco-friendly and sustainable city.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority expects that this business agreement will activate the use of the treated wastewater reuse facility, a resource circulation system in Songdo. POSCO Wide also anticipates that it will help with eco-friendly corporate management by reducing water consumption and carbon emissions.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority operates a treated wastewater reuse facility in Songdo with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day, supplying water for cleaning to parks and large buildings.

An official from the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority stated, "To improve water quality, we are installing reverse osmosis (R/O) equipment to reduce the salinity of the treated wastewater from Songdo," adding, "By the end of this year, we plan to supply the improved-quality reused water not only to Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea but also within Songdo."
