Entretanto, ao considerar que uma ETA (Esta??o de Tratamento de ?gua) ? uma ind?stria, pois em seu processo produtivo h? insumos e res?duos, ? necess?rio que haja avalia??o e monitoramento constantes em cada ETA para verificar a melhor e mais adequada maneira de tratar e dispor seus res?duos, minimizando, portanto, os potenciais impactos ao meio ambiente. Os res?duos mais relevantes em ETA de filtra??o r?pida s?o os provenientes das ?guas de lavagem de filtros. A realidade mais observada em nosso pa?s ? o lan?amento destes res?duos (sem tratamento) em mananciais, os quais s?o utilizados, na maioria das vezes, como fonte de abastecimento de uma popula??o a jusante. O presente estudo avaliou indicadores quantitativos e qualitativos de ?gua de lavagem de filtros em tr?s ETA - Itaitinga, Maranguape e Pacatuba. Verificou-se que a ETA Maranguape, em termos de capacidade instalada, ? a de maior porte. A ETA Itaitinga ? a que mais consome ?gua na lavagem de filtros. A ETA Pacatuba exibiu maior concentra??o de s?lidos sediment?veis e suspensos totais, al?m de demanda qu?mica de oxig?nio e alum?nio na ?gua de lavagem dos filtros. Os par?metros s?lidos sediment?veis e s?lidos suspensos totais de todas as ETA estavam fora do padr?o de lan?amento de efluentes em corpo aqu?tico preconizado pela resolu??o 154/2002 da SEMACE (Superintend?ncia Estadual do Meio Ambiente do Cear?). Conclui-se que a ?gua de lavagem dos filtros das ETA em estudo ultrapassam os valores permitidos em legisla??o para serem descartados diretamente em manancial. Sugere-se como alternativa de tratamento de res?duos, a constru??o de lagoas de sedimenta??o de lodo e ainda, como forma de reaproveitamento da ?gua, o processo de recircula??o. / The water supply and treatment is considered as a great benefit considering that, if done efficiently, provides public health. However, considering the WTP (Water Treatment Plant) is an industry, with its inputs and waste generation, they must be constantly evaluated and monitored to verify the best and most appropriate way to process and dispose their waste, minimizing therefore the potential impacts to the environment. By volume, the most significant waste is the rapid filter backwash water. It is very common the disposal of this waste without treatment in water sources, which are used, for the most part, as a water supply source of a downstream population. This study evaluated quantitative and qualitative parameters in filter backwash water in three WTP - Itaitinga, Maranguape and Pacatuba, located in Cear? State, northeast of Brazil. It was found that the Maranguape WTP, in terms of treatment capacity, is the larger. The Itaitinga WTP is the one that consumes more water during filters washing. The Pacatuba WTP exhibited higher concentration of total suspended and settleable solids, COD and aluminum in the filters backwash water. It is noteworthy that the settleable solids and total suspended solids in all three WTP are above the effluent discharge standard recommended by Resolution 154/2002 of SEMACE (State Superintendent of Environment of Cear?). It was concluded that the filter backwash water from the study WTP exceeded the allowed values for legislation to be disposed directly into surface water bodies. It is suggested as an alternative to treat and recycle the filter backwashing water the construction of sludge settling ponds.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the seasons, order of calving and lactation phase on milk composition and protein fractions in dairy farms in the Agreste and Leste meso-regions, of Rio Grande do Norte State (RN). Milk samples were taken in seven milk farms directly from the bulk tanks except for one farm where samples were taken from higher milking cows producers and heifers. The experiment was done in seven properties with milk samples taken directly from the bulk tanks and in one property were collected from higher production cows and heifers. Composition analyses were carried out for both experiments and sensorial trial was performed for the second experiment only. The data results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test performed for 5% significance level. In the first experiment was observed response of the seasons, dry and rainy season; while in the second, the effect of the order of calving and lactation phase had influence on milk composition and protein fractions. There was significant response (p < 0.05) for season effects but due to farms. The rainy season had higher averages in the protein, lactose, total solids and nonfat dry extract. Multiparous cows had higher CCS, NUL and PCAS milk contents; while, first calving heifers showed higher average for the sensory attribute, color of milk. The final third of lactation was responsible for the elevation of the levels of almost all milk components and their protein fractions / Mediante a crescente import?ncia da composi??o centesimal do leite e suas fra??es proteicas, para a ind?stria de latic?nios e para os produtores, em fun??o da rela??o direta com o processamento, rendimento industrial e pre?o do leite, torna-se relevante verificar poss?veis causas de varia??o desses componentes. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar o efeito das esta??es do ano (seca e chuvosa), da ordem de parto e da fase de lacta??o sobre a composi??o do leite e suas fra??es proteicas em propriedades nas mesorregi?es agreste e leste do Rio Grande do Norte - RN. O experimento foi realizado em sete propriedades, com coleta de leite em tanques de expans?o e em uma destas por amostragem do lote de vacas de maior produ??o e de novilhas. Foram realizadas an?lises de composi??o do leite e sensorial. Os respectivos resultados foram analisados por meio da an?lise de vari?ncia (ANOVA) com as poss?veis diferen?as entre as m?dias (p<0,05) pelo teste de Tukey. N?o houve efeito da esta??o do ano nos componentes do leite. No entanto, houve efeito de intera??o da esta??o do ano com a fazenda na prote?na, lactose, s?lidos totais e no extrato seco desengordurado. Na composi??o do leite a ordem de parto influenciou os teores de CCS, NUL e PCAS e na sensorial o atributo cor. Os est?dios de lacta??o influenciaram os teores todos os componentes do leite, com exce??o do ESD

A ALF representa a maior parcela de perda de ?gua, podendo compreender a at? 10% da vaz?o da esta??o. Uma alternativa para a destina??o desses res?duos ? a recircula??o na pr?pria esta??o. Dessa forma, al?m de representar uma redu??o nas perdas da esta??o, tamb?m diminui o consumo de energia e de ?gua. A presen?a de part?culas desestabilizadas em sua constitui??o e o residual de coagulante presentes na ALF podem auxiliar a remo??o de part?culas da ?gua bruta. Para que o reaproveitamento dos res?duos n?o prejudique a qualidade da ?gua tratada, ? essencial a avalia??o dos impactos causados por esse procedimento. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na ETA de Extremoz ? RN, que apresenta configura??o de esta??o convencional, apesar de operar como filtra??o direta. O presente estudo investigou as seguintes configura??es para recircula??o do efluente da lagoa de sedimenta??o, ALF bruta (isto ?, sem clarifica??o) e ap?s clarifica??o. Foram avaliadas diferentes taxas de recircula??o (0, 2, 5 e 8%) atrav?s de ensaios de tratabilidade no jarteste. Foram simulados tratamentos com as configura??es de filtra??o direta e filtra??o direta em linha, com e sem a etapa de oxida??o, utilizando diferentes doses de coagulante e oxidante. A ?gua bruta utilizada caracteriza-se por apresentar turbidez e cor em torno de 2 unT e 20 uH, respectivamente. A etapa de flocula??o n?o foi necess?ria, enquanto que a etapa de oxida??o foi essencial para se atender ao valor limite estabelecido pela legisla??o. A recircula??o da ALF n?o influenciou na qualidade da ?gua tratada, n?o apresentando diferen?a significativa entre os tipos de res?duos nem entre as taxas de recircula??o adotadas. / The residues generated in the Water Treatment Plants (WTP) are mainly formed by the sedimentation and the filter backwash water (FBWW). The FBWW represents the largest portion of water loss, and may comprise up to 10% of the station's flow. An alternative to the destination of this waste is the recirculation in the station itself. In this way, besides representing a reduction in the losses of the station, it also reduces the consumption of energy and water resources. The presence of destabilized particles in their constitution and the residual coagulant present in the FBWW can aid the removal of particles from the raw water. In order to ensure that the reuse of waste does not adversely affect the quality of the treated water, it is essential to assess the impacts caused by this procedure. The work was developed in WTP of Extremoz - RN, which presents conventional configuration but operates as direct filtration. The present study compared the recirculation of sedimentation pond effluent with crude FBWW, that is, without any type of treatment, and after being clarified in the laboratory - simulating a filler. The performance of recirculation at different recirculation rates (0, 2, 5 and 8%) was investigated through treatability tests in the reservoir. The raw water used is characterized by turbidity and color around 2 unT and 20 uH, respectively. The flocculation step was not necessary, whereas the oxidation step was essential to meet the limit value established by the legislation. The recirculation of the different residues in the different recirculation ratios did not influence the quality of treated water.

For an appropriate characterization and control of their discharges, the most efficient strategy is the integrated use of chemical, physical and ecotoxicological analyses. The aims of this study were to asses the efficiency of the treatment plant of a textile industry performing acute toxicity tests and physical-chemical analyses of the effluents before and after the treatment, besides evaluate the toxicity of the effluents of the Treatment System of Liquids Effluents (Sistema de Tratamento de Efluentes L?quidos - SITEL) of Distrito Industrial de Natal (DIN) and some of their physical-chemical variables. The species used in the ecotoxicological tests was the fish Danio rerio. The results showed that the treatment plant reduced significantly (around 50%) the toxicity of the raw textile effluent in only three of the seven tests but, in general, it promoted the reduction of the physical-chemical parameters analyzed. The toxicity and the physical-chemical factors of the effluents of SITEL of DIN varied among the tests and show the importance of monitoring their discharges in the Potengi river, one of the most important rivers of the Rio Grande do Norte state / Os efluentes industriais s?o uma das principais fontes de polui??o das ?guas.

It has been taking academics to conceive new ideas and techniques. Their aims are to increase the capacity and the quality of the system s services. Cells that are smaller every time, frequencies that are every time higher and environments that get more and more complex, all those facts deserve more accurate models the propagation prediction techniques are inserted in this context and results with a merger of error that is compatible with the next generations of communication systems. The objective of this Work is to present results of a propagation measurement campaign, aiming at pointing the characteristics of the mobile systems covering in the city of Natal (state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil). A mobile laboratory was set up, using the infra-structure available and frequently used by ANATEL. The measures were taken in three different areas: one characterized by high buildings, high relief, presence of trees and towers of different highs. These areas covered the city s central zone, a suburban / rural zone and a section of coast surrounded by sand dunes. It is important to highlight that the analysis was made taking into consideration the actual reality of cellular systems with covering ranges by reduced cells, with the intent of causing greater re-use of frequencies and greater capacity of telephone traffic. The predominance of telephone traffic by cell in the city of Natal occurs within a range inferior to 3 (three) km from the Radio-Base Station. The frequency band used was 800 MHz, corresponding to the control channels of the respective sites, which adopt the FSK modulation technique. This Dissertation starts by presenting a general vision of the models used for predicting propagation. Then, there is a description of the methodology used in the measuring, which were done using the same channels of control of the cellular system. The results obtained were compared with many existing prediction models, and some adaptations were developed by using regression techniques trying to obtain the most optimized solutions. Furthermore, according to regulations from the old Brazilian Holding Telebr?s, a minimum covering of 90% of a determined previously area, in 90% of the time, must be obeyed when implanting cellular systems. For such value to be reached, considerations and studies involving the specific environment that is being covered are important. The objective of this work is contribute to this aspect / O enorme desenvolvimento das comunica??es sem fio tem levado estudiosos a conceber novas id?ias e t?cnicas visando aumentar a capacidade e melhorar a qualidade de servi?o dos sistemas de comunica??o m?vel. C?lulas cada vez menores, freq??ncias cada vez mais altas e ambientes cada vez mais complexos est?o a merecer modelamentos mais acurados e as t?cnicas de predi??o de propaga??o se inserem neste contexto, estando ainda a merecer resultados com margem de erro compat?vel com as pr?ximas gera??es de sistemas de comunica??o. Este trabalho tem por finalidade apresentar os resultados de uma campanha de medidas de propaga??o visando caracterizar a cobertura de sistemas m?veis celulares na cidade do Natal, RN. Um laborat?rio m?vel foi montado aproveitando a estrutura dispon?vel e utilizada rotineiramente pela ANATEL. As medi??es foram efetuadas em ?reas com caracter?sticas de edifica??es, relevo, arboriza??o e alturas de torres diversificadas, abrangendo a zona central da cidade, uma zona de caracter?stica suburbana / rural e trecho litor?neo circundado por dunas. ? importante destacar que a an?lise foi feita considerando a realidade atual dos sistemas celulares com raios de cobertura por c?lula reduzidos visando proporcionar maior reuso de freq??ncias e maior capacidade de tr?fego telef?nico. A predomin?ncia do tr?fego telef?nico por c?lula na cidade do Natal ocorre dentro de um raio inferior a 3 (tr?s) km em rela??o a Esta??o R?dio-Base. A faixa de freq??ncia utilizada foi de 800 MHz, correspondendo aos canais de controle dos respectivos sites, os quais adotam a t?cnica de modula??o FSK. Neste trabalho, apresenta-se inicialmente uma vis?o geral dos modelos utilizados para predi??o de propaga??o. Em seguida, descreve-se a metodologia utilizada nas medi??es, as quais foram efetuadas aproveitando os pr?prios canais de controle do sistema celular. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com diversos modelos de predi??o existentes e foram desenvolvidas adapta??es utilizando t?cnicas de regress?o na tentativa de obten??o de solu??es mais otimizadas. Al?m disso, ? importante observar que, de acordo com norma da antiga holding brasileira Telebr?s, uma cobertura m?nima de 90% de uma ?rea pr?-estabelecida em 90% do tempo deve ser obedecida em implanta??es de sistemas celulares. Para que tal ?ndice seja obtido, considera??es e estudos envolvendo o ambiente espec?fico de atendimento s?o importantes. Este trabalho apresenta uma contribui??o nesse sentido

The Baldo s WWTP , due to its location and low availability of area, was designed as a hybrid conventional system (UASB reactor followed by activated sludge with biodiscs) at a tertiary level, being the most advanced WWTP in the State and also with the larger treatment capacity (1620 m3/h) .The paper presents the results of its performance based on samples collections from May to December 2012. Composite samples of the effluent of the grit chamber, UASB reactors, anoxic chambers, aeration tanks and treated effluent were collected weekly, every 4 hours for 24 hours. The results showed that the WWTP effluent presented adequate ranges of temperatures, pH and DO, however removal efficiencies of BOD and TSS were below the predicted by design. The UASB reactors also showed removals of BOD and TSS less than expected, due to the accumulation of sludge in the reactors, which eventually, was washed out in the effluent. The nitrification process was not satisfactory mainly due to problems in the oxygen distribution in the aeration tanks. The removal of ammonia and TKN were high, probably by the assimilation process / No Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brasil existe cerca de 80 sistemas de tratamento de esgotos sendo a tecnologia das lagoas de estabiliza??o a predominantemente utilizada. A ETE do Baldo, devido a sua localiza??o e disponibilidade de ?rea foi concebida como um sistema convencional h?brido (UASB lodos ativados com biodiscos) em n?vel terci?rio, sendo a ETE mais avan?ada do Estado e com maior capacidade de tratamento (1620 m 3 /h). O trabalho apresenta os resultados do seu monitoramento, atrav?s de coletas realizadas semanalmente no per?odo de junho a dezembro de 2012, com base em amostras compostas coletadas a cada 4 horas, durante 24 horas, do efluente da caixa de areia, reatores UASB, c?maras an?xicas, tanques de aera??o e efluente tratado. Os resultados mostraram que a ETE apresentou efluentes com temperaturas, pH e OD adequados, entretanto efici?ncias abaixo do projetado para os par?metros DBO e SST. Os reatores UASB tamb?m apresentaram remo??es de DBO e SST abaixo do esperado, devido ao ac?mulo de lodo nos reatores, uma vez que, este era expelido no efluente. O processo de nitrifica??o n?o foi satisfat?rio, pelas baixas concentra??es de nitrato encontradas nos efluentes dos tanques de aera??o, provavelmente por problemas no sistema de aera??o. As remo??es de am?nia e NTK foram altas, provavelmente pelo processo de assimila??o

Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of stormwater on the energy consumption in the pump stations of the urban sewage system of Feira de Santana city. Data concerning the energy consumption in the pump stations, the water consumption in the area, and the precipitation rate were collected for the time period of 2008-2011. Statistical tests were performed by applying the Spearman?s rank correlation, the Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test, the Student?s test t, and the Ljung-Box test. The results showed that, regarding a potential influence of the effective precipitation rate on the energy consumption in the pumps, the correlation not significantly different from zero with a 95% confidence level for all the 19 pump stations. Similar results were obtained for the case of the potential influence of the public water consumption on the energy consumption in the pump stations. However, considering the total energy consumption in the pump stations, the correlation with the effective precipitation is significant, although weak (R=0.30). Thus, it was estimated that 9% of the total energy consumption in the pump stations is explained by the precipitation. By analyzing the correlation between the energy consumption of all the pump stations, it was found that the all possible correlations are weak, and only in 12% of the cases the correlation is significantly different from zero with a 95% confidence level. Moreover, such correlation was not observed in pumping stations installed in series. In addition, seasonality tests applied to the time series precipitation and water consumption revealed seasonality with a one year lag, suggesting good quality of data concerning these parameters. These results point to the hypothesis of potential errors or inconsistency with our study in the data collecting process regarding the energy consumption in the pump stations. A possible explanation lies in the fact that the energy consumption times series was made available in a monthly basis, thus potentially not reflecting precipitation peaks measured in a daily basis. The results of this study, as a preliminary conclusion, point that the impact of precipitation on the overall energy consumption in the wastewater treatment system of Feira de Santana is not significant. / Esta pesquisa teve com objetivo avaliar a influ?ncia da precipita??o no consumo de energia das esta??es elevat?rias do sistema de esgoto da cidade de Feira de Santana. Foram coletados dados de consumo de energia nas esta??es elevat?rias, consumo de ?gua e precipita??o, durante per?odo de 2008-2011. Os testes estat?sticos coeficiente de correla??o de postos de Spearman, teste de qualidade de ajuste de Anderson-Darling, o teste estat?stico t de Student, e a estat?stica de Ljung-Box foram aplicados na an?lise. Os resultados mostram que, em rela??o a uma potencial influ?ncia da precipita??o efetiva no consumo de energia das esta??es elevat?rias, a correla??o n?o ? significativamente diferente de zero com um n?vel de confian?a de 95% para todas as 15 esta??es elevat?rias analisadas. Resultados semelhantes foram obtidos em rela??o ? influ?ncia potencial do consumo p?blico de ?gua no consumo de energia das esta??es elevat?rias. Contudo, considerando o consumo total de energia nas esta??es elevat?rias, foi poss?vel observar uma correla??o significativa, embora fraca, entre a precipita??o efetiva e esse consumo de energia (R=0.30). Assim, calculou-se que 9% deste consumo energ?tico se deve ? precipita??o efetiva. Al?m de estes pontos, a an?lise da correla??o entre o consumo de energia de todas as esta??es revela que todas as correla??es poss?veis s?o fracas, e que apenas em 12% dos casos a correla??o ? significativamente diferente de zero com um n?vel de confian?a de 95%, sendo que esta correla??o n?o se verificou em esta??es elevat?rias que se encontram em s?rie no sistema. Adicionalmente, testes de sazonalidade foram aplicados ?s s?ries temporais de precipita??o e consumo de ?gua, revelando sazonalidade com um ano de atraso, sugerindo boa qualidade de dados relativamente a estes par?metros. Estes resultados apontam para a hip?tese de inconsist?ncia dos dados disponibilizados de consumo de energia nas esta??es em rela??o ao nosso estudo. Uma explica??o poss?vel foi o fato de que os dados de medi??o de energia encontraram-se agregados em m?dias mensais, assim podendo potencialmente n?o refletir picos de precipita??o medidos em uma base di?ria. Contudo, os resultados deste estudo, como conclus?o preliminar, apontam que o impacto da precipita??o no consumo total de energia no sistema de tratamento de ?guas residuais de Feira de Santana dever? ser pouco significativo.
