Report on the analysis of industrial wastewaters from the Frutarom

Between November 1994 and October 1996 a total of 12 samples were collected in order to characterise wastes discharged from the Frutarom complex. The study focused on two principal discharge pipes, one in front of the VCM tanks and a second shorter pipe discharging in front of the main plant. Discharges from this second pipeline had been discontinued by 1996. In 1994 a third discharge, arising beneath a concrete bunker on the shoreline, was also sampled. In each case, effluents were being discharged directly onto the foreshore, above or at the water line.
