Abstract
Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a capacidade do reaproveitamento energético do lodo de uma estação de tratamento de esgoto (ETE) urbana, a fim de determinar a viabilidade técnica e econômica deste destino final do lodo, em comparação com a disposição final em aterro sanitário. A análise bibliográfica efetuada mostra que do ponto de vista energético, o lodo proveniente de uma ETE, digerido anaeróbio, possui elevada carga orgânica e elevado poder calorífico em relação a outras biomassas combustíveis. Sendo assim, seu reaproveitamento pode ser vantajoso econômica e ambientalmente. A disposição de lodo em aterros, apesar da simplicidade, apresenta problemas ambientais, como a possibilidade de contaminação do lençol freático, do solo e emissão de poluentes. A investigação mostra que no reaproveitamento energético, os processos de conversão do lodo em energia como pirólise e incineração, apresentaram resultados satisfatórios, porém são processos de elevados custos de operação e manutenção.
This work aimed to evaluate the capacity of the energy reuse of sludge from an urban sewage treatment plant (ETE), in order to determine the technical and economic viability of this final sludge destination, in comparison with the final disposal in landfill. The bibliographic analysis carried out shows that from an energetic point of view, the sludge from an urban sewage treatment plant, digested anaerobically, has a high organic load and a high calorific value in relation to other combustible biomasses. Therefore, its reuse can be economically and environmentally advantageous. The disposal of sludge in landfills, despite its simplicity, presents environmental problems, such as the possibility of contamination of groundwater, soil and emission of pollutants. The investigation shows that in the energy reuse, the processes of conversion of sludge into energy such as pyrolysis and incineration, presented satisfactory results, however they are processes of high cost of operation and maintenance.
