Implementa？？o e otimiza？？o de projeto para certifica？？o do MDL em esta？？o de tratamento de águas residuárias

wastewater treatment can produce an important contribution to greenhouse effect gases accumulation in the atmosphere. with the objective of minimizing this problem, this work studied the implementation and operational optimization of clear development mechanisms (cdm) in a wastewater treatment plant (wwtp), more precisely at the sewage treatment plant of north brasilia, by applying minimal modifications and optimizing its operation parameters. the work methodology included review of cdm projects implantation alternatives, analysis of the flow diagram of the wwtp, mathematic modeling and process optimization. some operation scenarios for the wwtp were constructed, with different bod treatment efficiencies. the results indicate a contradiction between sustainability encouragement by cdm projects and quality of the wwtp treated effluent.
