Abstract

Increasing pressure on water resources and technological development of water treatment systems, coupled with savings from water reuse, have prompted the urgency of wastewater recycling and reuse. Based on this premise, Tratolixo has built an Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant in Abrunheira (IWTP)—Mafra, a system that reuses 60% of effluent for industrial purposes. The final effluent shows a significant reduction on its pollutant parameters, leading to a reuse in the Anaerobic Digestion Plant. Since it started working the Abrunheira’s IWTP has saved more than 25,000 m3 of water that was reintroduced into the industrial process. This chapter describes a real case of successful investment on wastewater reuse.
