Resumos
O gerenciamento de recursos hídricos tem sido um fator importante para a sustentabilidade dos processos industriais, visto que há uma necessidade crescente pelo desenvolvimento de metodologias voltadas para conservação e uso racional da água. O objetivo deste trabalho foi aplicar o método Diagrama de Fontes de Água (DFA), usado na definição de metas de mínimo consumo de água, a processos que operam em regime batelada. Foram gerados e avaliados cenários de reúso de correntes obtidos pela aplicação do método a partir de dados de quantidade de água e concentração de contaminantes nas operações. Foram apresentados dois estudos de caso com o objetivo de demonstrar a redução de consumo de água e da geração de efluentes, além de custos de tratamento final e de investimento em tanques de estocagem, em relação à configuração inicial. Os cenários mostraram-se bastante promissores, com reduções que alcançam 45%, em termos de consumo hídrico e geração de efluentes, e 37%, em termos de custos de tanques, sem a necessidade de processos de regeneração. Com isso, a técnica empregada mostrou-se relevante e flexível como alternativa às ferramentas sistemáticas voltadas para a minimização do consumo de água em processos industriais, exercendo importante papel em um programa de gerenciamento de recursos hídricos.

The water resources management has been an important factor for the sustainability of industrial processes, since there is a growing need for the development of methodologies aimed at the conservation and rational use of water. The objective of this work was to apply the heuristic-algorithmic method called Water Sources Diagram (WSD), which is used to define the target of minimum water consumption, to batch processes. Scenarios with reuse of streams were generated and evaluated with application of the method from the data of water quantity and concentration of contaminants in the operations. Two case studies aiming to show the reduction of water consumption and wastewater generation, and final treatment costs besides investment in storage tanks, were presented. The scenarios showed great promising, achieving reduction up to 45% in water consumption and wastewater generation, and a reduction of around 37% on cost of storage tanks, without the need to allocate regeneration processes. Thus, the WSD method showed to be a relevant and flexible alternative regarding to systemic tools aimed at minimizing the consumption of water in industrial processes, playing an important role within a program of water resources management.
