Abstract
Water reuse and reclamation have emerged as a suitable alternative for extending the available water supply. Wastewater reclamation and reuse are technically feasible. They can be tailored to meet the requirements. Mellitah Plant in the west of Libya has many sources of industrial wastewater, such as boilers and cooling systems that are all discharged in the sea. In this paper, the quantity of wastewater was estimated, microfiltration and reverse osmosis system were used to treat wastewater. The treatment results show a dramatic decrease in suspended and dissolved salts. The treated water can be reused for the cooling system and can be reused for agricultural purposes at the nearby cultivated land.
