Aplicação do método PDCA para aumento da eficiência de remoção de matéria orgânica do efluente bruto de uma indústria de bebidas do estado do ceará

Abstract

The market increasingly demands beneficial measures to environmental conservation. That is related to some environmental legislation and the engagement of many consumers with sustainable practices. The food industry, particularly the beverage industry, generates a significant amount of effluent with a high amount of organic load, needing each time more a complex and efficient effluent treatment systems. The proposed problem was based on the use of a quality management system to increase the electric charge efficiency of the Industrial Effluent Treatment Station of a Beverage Industry in Ceará. The basis of the entire data set was constituted within the PDCA cycle. This works aims to identify the anomalies associated to the system seeking the effectiveness of a proposed program. Along all stages of the process of detecting the ability to perform the scanning of the efficiency measurement tool, it being possible to carry out the final action plan, verify that 98,60% of the efficiency of removal of organic load from the Raw Effluent.
