Estudo da viabilidade técnica e ambiental de reúso da água produzida no processo de retenção de materiais particulados na incineração de resíduos de serviços de saúde

Abstract

Petroleum activity today is considered a potential generator of waste, since the productive and exploratory process of oils and greases produces significant quantities of liquid waste class II, the water produced. Currently, this effluent receives as final destination three main purposes, the injection, the reuse and the final disposition in industrial landfill. In parallel to this scenario, we have a significant growth in the generation of health service waste, which according to the current legislation requires a specific treatment due to its degree of danger. Among these, incineration is the most widely used treatment, since from the combustion of the waste we have the elimination of pathogens and dangerous organic compounds in addition to a significant reduction of volume and weight, in a process considered relatively fast. In this treatment, one of the technologies used by a health and industrial waste management company, located in the municipality of Belem do Brejo do Cruz / PB, is the gas scrubbing, used mainly to retain the particulate material eventually formed in the combustion waste. After the process, the uses are in the particulated formed is becoming each comiss with more foods. Reduced risk of evaporation during the characterization process of the region, the reservoir is replenished with five cubic meters of drinking water. It is a perspective that emerges in the research, a process that aims at the feasibility of reusing an emergency situation.
