Ecoeficiência no tratamento de efluente de indústria de saneantes- método ecowater

Abstract

The theme sustainable industrial practices have never been such as “hot topic” as it is nowadays, including use of natural resources, atmospheric or liquid pollution emission and even solid waste. Among several industrial sectors, the household cleaning products ones stands out due to their main products characteristics, which can generate a very environmental damaging wastewater. As an environmental manage technic, usually they can use tools and quality indicator such as eco-efficiency, in order to show managers how certain activities are developing. Like so, this papers goal is to show and analyze the eco-efficiency of Uberlândia’s Indústria de Saneantes de Médio Porte’s wastewater treatment plant. Using the European EcoWater method, it was mapped the water system, but also calculated the eco-efficiency from the public sewage network wastewater emission parameter and indicated opportunities of increasing the eco-efficiency final value. Variating 17,000 and 3,000,000, the base industry of this study’s eco-efficiency showed, in general, a better wastewater treatment quality in it’s productivity chain than other industrial sectors. At last, in order to prove the truthfulness of this paper results, its recommended more profound studies about wastewater parameter, as well as the use of other eco-efficiency analysis methodology.
