96CHAPTER TENCONCLUSIONNowadays, through advanced technologies, recycling of the chemicals whichare necessary in the facility itself and will be burden for the environment, and therecovery of which is costly, is the path should be taken. Although the initialinvestment cost is considerably high, in the long run the benefits will recover theinitial investment cost and minimize the harmful environmental effects. A lot ofbest available treatment (BAT) technologies is used in leather facilities as (bio)membrane, precipitation process to removal of chromium. Basic principle of thesetechnologies is depended on recovery of chromium in tannery wastewater. Therecovery of the chromium of tannery wastewater is necessary for environmentalprotection and economic reason. Some solid wastes of leather facilities should beuse the other sector as raw material. Therefore, the raw material consumption islower that use of these waste is used the raw material a lot of sectors.There are many salting methods today (drying, keeping in a temperature of -3Celsius degree or putting in the ice bars). Even though keeping with salt methodis applied since it is economically favorable, it causes an additional treatment costto the facility. This salt can be detracted from the facility by whipping-by-handmethod to a minimum degree. In addition, the slaughter houses are near theleather tanning facilities but this does not necessitate that the leathers should beimmediately tanned or additional chemicals or technologies should be used. Sincethis factor is not considered during the foundation of the facilities, this alternativecannot be used in the process of decreasing the salt added into water.In the first facility, waste products from snipping and trimming processes wereused as raw material in other industries, but in time, these waste products causedadditional pollution since the shipping expenses became costly because of thedistance between the facilities. In the other facility, these waste products are sold.Waste products from fleshing process are used as raw material in neither facility.83
