Avaliação do desempenho de aeradores na lagoa facultativa da indústria Savencia, Angatuba - SP

Abstract

This study analyzed the impact of the installation of paddle aerators on the treatment efficiency of a facultative lagoon responsible for the depuration of effluent from the Savencia Brasil Industry (Angatuba/SP). The installation was carried out with the aim of improving the effectiveness of the wastewater treatment from this processed cheese industry through aeration. The industrial effluent treatment process helps reduce parameters such as turbidity, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), in addition to stabilizing the pH and increasing the Dissolved Oxygen (DO), occurring progressively and naturally. The applied methodology included the installation of eight aerators and the monitoring of the efficiency of the oxygenation process. For this purpose, physicochemical analyses of the treated effluent were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the implemented system. Finally, the expected results involve improving the quality of the final effluent and minimizing the environmental impact caused by the industry, aiming for a more sustainable operation and improved well-being for the local community.
