Desenvolvimento da proposta de uma estação de tratamento de água simples e de baixo custo para agroindústria familiar

Abstract

The family agroindustries have their social visibility extended by the recognition of their importance in the construction of a more equitable and sustainable development process, originating studies and specific public policies for the fixation of the man in the field. One example is the government's encouragement of the installation of family agroindustries, through the industrialization of food products by the producer himself, who, for this reason, need good quality water and sufficient quantity to attend all stages of this industrialization. However, most of these agroindustries has as a common characteristic the use of a proper water source, through the use of the water resources existing in the property, without any type of treatment, since they do not have a supply of treated water of quality, usually available only in the urban perimeter of the municipalities. Quality and treated water is a fundamental input for agroindustries, so it must be potable, taking into account the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters foreseen in the current legislation. According to Ordinance No. 2,914 of December 12, 2011 of the Ministry of Health (BRAZIL, 2011), water for human consumption is one whose microbiological, physical and chemical parameters meet the drinking standard and do not pose risks to human consumption. In view of this reality, the objective of the work is to develop, through the study of methods of product development, the design of a water treatment plant that can be used in the family agroindustries, with low implementation and operation costs and in compliance with the pertinent legislation. As a result of this development, it is hoped to obtain a proposal for a water treatment plant project, which could be implemented in family agroindustries to elaborate their products, enabling them to be marketed in any market, whether it be municipal, state or National, because they meet the parameters required by Brazilian law.
