Resíduos de estações de tratamento de água e a ISO 24512: desafios do saneamento em Laranjal do Jari-AP.

Abstract

The Course Conclusion Work (TCC) proposes a comprehensive analysis on the waste generated in water treatment stations (ETAs), in particular the ETA of the municipality of Laranjal of Jarí- AP, and the challenges faced with this theme. Initially, it addresses the vital importance of ETS in the supply of drinking water, highlighting the fundamental role they play in the preservation of public health and the promotion of social well-being. In entering into the discussion about the waste originating in these processes, the work examines the diversity of materials resulting from water treatment operations, highlighting their characteristics. This includes chemical by- products, sedimentary solids, and other elements that require special attention due to potential environmental impacts. The methodology used for conducting the research was a search for bibliographic references. The challenges faced in the management of these wastes are thoroughly explored, considering the complexities involved in their collection, transport, treatment and final disposal. Questions relating to environmental legislation, technical standards and socio-environmental responsibility are carefully examined, highlighting the need for integrated strategies and sustainable approaches. In addition, the work investigates emerging technologies and innovations in the field of waste treatment of ETAs that can be adopted in the municipality of Laranjal do Jarí-AP, aimed at identifying more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Economic issues associated with the implementation of these technologies are also addressed, considering the balance between operational effectiveness and financial viability. In the context of corporate social responsibility, this work explores the importance of public awareness on waste management of ETS. Community engagement strategies and environmental education programmes are discussed as essential tools to promote active and informed participation of society in the search for sustainable solutions. In short, the present work proposes an in-depth analysis of waste generated in water treatment plants and its challenges, integrating technical, environmental, legal and social aspects. In doing so, it aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this crucial field by providing valuable insights to professionals, researchers and managers committed to the sustainability and quality of drinking water.
