Geoestatística para a avaliação do controle ambiental do sistema de ventilação em instalações comerciais para frangos de corte

O sistema de ventilação e de resfriamento utilizado em instalações para frangos de corte desempenha um papel importante no controle ambiental, possibilitando que a ave expresse seu potencial máximo de produção. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, por meio da geoestatística, a influência do sistema de ventilação e das diferentes tipologias construtivas em relação ao ambiente térmico e aéreo em aviários de frangos de corte na fase final de criação. Os aviários avaliados com sistema de ventilação artificial de pressão negativa, por meio de exaustores, foram: Blue House com nebulizadores na entrada de ar e vedação de cortinas; Dark House com painel evaporativo (tijolo cerâmico) e vedação de cortinas e Solid Wall com painel evaporativo (celulose) e vedação de alvenaria. Os atributos avaliados foram: temperatura, umidade relativa, velocidade do ar, concentração de dióxido de carbono e amônia, durante o período de verão às 14h, em 52 pontos equidistantes, no interior do aviário. Os dados foram avaliados pela análise estatística e geoestatística. A análise geoestatística apresentou-se como ferramenta eficiente para a avaliação da distribuição das condições ambientais nos aviários, e a presença ou não do painel evaporativo influenciou na condição padrão de funcionamento do sistema de ventilação.

Avaliação da densidade e crescimento populacional do mexilhào dourado Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) em suas diferentes fases de vida no Lago Guaíba, município de Porto Alegre, RS, como subsídios ao controle do bivalve invasor

Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), conhecido vulgarmente como mexilhão dourado é proveniente do sudeste asiático. Foi, provavelmente, introduzido nos nossos mananciais, não intencionalmente, através da água de lastro, com os primeiros registros na América do Sul, em 1991,no Rio da Prata, nas proximidades de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Foi visto pela primeira vez na área do Delta do Jacuí, em frente ao porto de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil, no ano de 1998. Sua população vem se expandindo em superfície e densidades que ultrapassam 100.000 i/m2 e, desde o ano de 2000, vem causando problemas de entupimentos em indústrias e todas as captadoras de água no município de Porto Alegre, entorno do lago Guaíba e do baixo Rio Jacuí. A espécie vem causando uma série de danos à fauna bentônica nativa e à vegetação ripária, desencadeando a diminuição das mesmas. A carência de dados sobre o ciclo de vida e a dinâmica populacional da espécie na bacia do Guaíba, motivaram o desenvolvimento deste trabalho. As coletas foram realizadas no lago Guaíba, Praia do Veludo, ao sul do município de Porto Alegre, quinzenalmente, ao longo de 16 meses (setembro 2002 a dezembro de 2003), acompanhadas das análises físicas e químicas da água. As larvas foram coletadas com rede de plâncton, com abertura de malha equivalente a 36 µm, filtrando-se a quantidade de 30 litros de água. A incidência de pós-larvas, foi verificada através de amostradores artificiais dispostos em seis suportes de ferro, cada um contendo quatro amostradores (tijolos vazados) colocados entre os juncais, a uma altura de 20 cm do fundo. Em cada suporte, os tijolos foram trocados: um em quinze dias, um a cada mês, outro semestralmente e o último, que permaneceu até completar um ano, foi considerado o controle do experimento. A coleta de exemplares adultos de L. fortunei efetivou-se sobre ramos submersos do “sarandi”, Cephhalanthus glabratus (Spreng.) K. Schum, onde foram extraídos cilindros com aproximadamente quatro centímetros de diâmetro e 10 centímetros de comprimento. Os resultados foram reunidos em dois capítulos sob a forma de artigos científicos. O primeiro reúne informações, com a descrição, medidas e ilustrações de cada fase larval de Limnoperna fortunei desde a fase larval ciliada, a larva trocófora com quatro estágios diferenciados e os estágios valvados, com as larvas “D”, veliger de charneira reta, veliger umbonado, pediveliger, até a pós-larva ou plantígrada. O segundo capítulo contém os dados ambientais correlacionados às densidades de larvas, pós-larvas e adultos e o resultado de uma série de análises multivariadas da quantidade dos indivíduos nas diferentes fases de vida e época do ano e das medidas dos indivíduos adultos com as datas de coleta Através dos testes quantitativos registrou-se que: a quantidade de larvas variou de 0 a 23 indivíduos por litro; as larvas estiveram presentes em todos os meses do ano, com picos de densidade alta na primavera no mês de outubro, tanto no ano de 2002 como 2003, e densidades menores sob temperaturas abaixo de 15º C. A quantidade média de pós-larvas variou de 1 a 7545 indivíduos por amostrador (tijolo). As pós-larvas estiveram presentes em todos os meses do ano, com picos de densidade na primavera, particularmente no mês de novembro 2003, seguindo-se ao pico larval do mesmo ano. Os adultos atingiram o tamanho máximo de 38mm. A densidade populacional de adultos agregados calculada por i/m2 variou de 15.700 i/m2 a 99.700 i/m2 em fevereiro de 2003. As análises de ordenação e agrupamento separaram a população em geral, em quatro grupos conforme a densidade de cada fase em diferentes épocas do ano. Os adultos foram ordenados em três diferentes grupos conforme as classes de comprimento que aqui denominase de recrutas, adultos menores e adultos maiores. Estes três grupos estão também relacionados às diferenças de comportamentos quanto à habilidade de locomoção e capacidade de fixação. Considerando os adultos conforme suas classes de comprimento, constatou-se a predominância dos recrutas (5 a 7mm de comprimento), presentes durante todos os meses amostrados. Seguiu-se aos picos de pós-larvas um recrutamento que se tornou mais intenso, em fevereiro de 2003 e se prolongou até agosto do mesmo ano. Os amostradores controle com medidas das populações submersas durante os meses mais frios apresentaram populações com comprimento médio menor que as do verão. Apesar de não ter-se encontrado correlação entre a quantidade de larvas e os picos de temperatura, houve uma diminuição da quantidade de larvas nos picos de temperaturas mais baixas e uma coincidência entre os picos de densidade larval e as oscilações bruscas na temperatura que ocorreram nos meses menos frios. Vendavais e tempestades ocorridas na primavera de 2002 seriam as causas prováveis da baixa densidade de pós-larvas após o pico larval no início da primavera de 2002. Os dados apresentados referentes ao ciclo de vida de Limnoperna fortunei são básicos à elaboração de projetos de pesquisa que objetivem a gestão e o controle do animal. Os resultados do presente trabalho, de um modo geral, também poderiam subsidiar métodos de controle do mexilhão dourado adequados e com isto minimizar prejuízos financeiros e impactos ambientais maiores do que o do próprio animal, advindos da aplicação de técnicas indevidas de gestão.

Análise experimental e numérica do comportamento térmico de um coletor solar acumulador

Esta tese apresenta um estudo do comportamento térmico de um coletor solar acumulador e desenvolve uma metodologia para medir a sua eficiência diária. O coletor solar acumulador está instalado na face norte do prédio de Energia Solar da UFRGS e possui cerca de 26 m2. É constituído de uma massa espessa de concreto com uma superfície absorvente feita de tijolos, possuindo uma cobertura dupla de vidros colocada de modo a deixar um espaço para a circulação de ar. Os raios solares atravessam a cobertura de vidro e aquecem a massa absorvente de tijolo, a qual aquece o ar que é introduzido no interior da construção por efeito de termossifão. Uma das principais características do coletor solar acumulador consiste no fato de que a resposta do coletor é defasada no tempo. Este fenômeno permite que o coletor entregue calor ao ambiente mesmo após o término da radiação solar. Essa defasagem dos picos de energia térmica ocorre devido ao baixo valor da difusividade térmica do concreto. Este trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas. A primeira etapa consistiu na montagem de um calorímetro para controle e monitoração das variáveis envolvidas. No interior do calorímetro foram instaladas 36 garrafas com água. As temperaturas dos conteúdos das garrafas, do coletor solar e as radiações envolvidas foram monitoradas através de 26 sensores de temperatura de CI, 8 sensores resistivos PT100 e dois sensores de radiação fotovoltaicos. Para obter as medidas dos sensores instalados foi feita a montagem de um sistema de aquisição de dados interfaceado a um microcomputador A segunda etapa consistiu na produção de um programa computacional, escrito em linguagem Fortran 90, para simular o comportamento térmico dos diversos elementos constituintes do coletor, determinar a potência térmica do coletor solar e sua eficiência diária. Para a simulação numérica do coletor solar acumulador, adotou-se um modelo simplificado bidimensional do mesmo. Foi integrada, através do Método dos Volumes Finitos, a equação de difusão de calor transiente em 2 dimensões. Na formulação das equações lineares optou-se pelo emprego das diferenças centrais no espaço e formulação explícita no tempo. Ao todo foram produzidas 4 malhas computacionais, com distintos refinamentos e foi realizado o estudo da estabilidade numérica das diversas malhas. Através da montagem experimental obtiveram-se várias características térmicas do comportamento do sistema, entre as quais, a transmitância da cobertura, curvas de temperatura do ar fornecido ao calorímetro e curva da eficiência diária do coletor solar . Através da simulação numérica foi possível determinar a potência térmica que o coletor entrega para o laboratório, a eficiência do coletor, os campos de temperatura e a vazão mássica nos diversos canais interiores do coletor solar.

A proposta pedagógica de Paulo Freire

A proposta pedagógica elaborada por Paulo Freire se baseia na utilização das palavras que fazem parte do cotidiano dos alunos. Por exemplo, se fossemos alfabetizar pessoas adultas que trabalham na construção civil, segundo o método de Paulo Freire, iríamos ter que elaborar um processo educativo que considerasse determinadas palavras, tais como tijolo e casa, no início do processo de aprendizagem. Assim, usaríamos palavras que tivessem uma relação direta com a vida desses alunos. Dessa forma, a partir das sílabas dessas palavras os alunos aprenderiam novas palavras. Nesse contexto é que Paulo Freire procurou desenvolver aquilo que ele chama de temas geradores, ou seja, os alunos começariam a refletir o porquê de determinadas questões da vida desse sujeito. Portanto, os alunos não seriam apenas alfabetizados, eles teriam a condição de questionar a sua posição social.

Estudo da incorporação de cascalho proveniente da perfuração de poços de petróleo em formulações para tijolos de solo-cimento

The present work is to study the characteristics and technological properties of soil-cement bricks made from binary and ternary mixtures of Portland cement, sand, water, with or without addition of gravel from the drilling of oil wells, which could be used by industry, aiming to improve its performance and reduce cost by using the residue and, consequently, increasing its useful life. The soil-cement bricks are one of the alternatives to masonry construction. These elements, after a short curing period, provide compressive strength similar to that of solid bricks and ceramic blocks, and the higher the resistance the higher the amount of cement used. We used the soil from the city of São José do Mipibu / RN, the banks of the River Baldun, cement CPIIZ-32 and residue of drill cuttings from oil wells drilling onshore wells in the town of Mossley, RN, provided Petrobras. To determine the optimum mix, we studied the inclusion of different residues (100%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%) where 15 bodies were made of the test piece. The assessment was made of bricks made from simple compression tests, mass loss by immersion and water absorption. The experimental results proved the efficiency and high utilization of the waste from the drilling of oil wells, making the brick-cement-soil residue with a higher strength and lower water absorption. The best result in terms of mechanical strength and water absorption for the ternary mixture was 10% soil, 14% cement and 80% residue. In terms of binary mixtures, we obtained the best result for the mix-cement residue, which was 14% cement incorporated in the residue

Estudo da incorporação da cal em composições binárias de solo-cimento para produção de tijolos maciços

The use of binders in the soil for the production of solid bricks is an old construction technique that has been used by several civilizations over time. At the same time, the need for environmental preservation and the tendency of scarcity of natural resources make the construction invest in researching new concepts, methods and materials for building systems for the sustainability of their economic activities. Thus arises the need to obtain building materials with low power consumption, capable of reducing the growing housing shortage of rural and urban population. Currently, research has been conducted on this topic to better understand the cementitious and pozzolanic reactions that occur in the formation of the microstructure of the soil-cement when added to other materials such as, for example, lime, and the relationship between microstructure and formed interfaces with the physical, mechanical and chemical analysis in compounds made from these ternary compositions. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the results of the influence of the incorporation of lime to the soil-cement to form a ternary mixture to produce soil-cement bricks and mortar without structural purposes. From the inclusion of contents of 6 %, 8 %, 10% and 12% lime to the soil, and soil-cement mixes in amounts of 2 %, 3 %, 4 % and 5 % were shaped-bodies of -cylindrical specimens to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum dry apparent specific weight. Then they were cured, and subjected to the tests of compressive strength, absorption and durability modified. Compositions obtained the best results in the tests performed on the bodies-of-proof cylindrical served as a parameter for molding of solid bricks, which underwent the same experimental methodology previously cited. The raw materials used, as well as compositions in which the bricks were molded solid, were characterized by physical and chemical tests, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained in the study indicate that the compositions studied, that showed the best results in terms of compressive strength, water absorption and durability ternary composition was soil, 10 % cement and 2 % lime

Análise do espalhamento espectral em superfícies de estruturas complexas para comunicações móveis

In this work, the transmission line method is explored on the study of the propagation phenomenon in nonhomogeneous walls with finite thickness. It is evaluated the efficiency and applicability of the method, considering materials like gypsum, wood and brick, found in the composition of the structures of walls in question. The results obtained in this work are compared to those available in the literature, for several particular cases. A good agreement is observed, showing that the performed analysis is accurate and efficient in modeling, for instance, the wave propagation through building walls and integrated circuit layers in mobile communication and radar system applications. Later, simulations of resistive sheets devices such as Salisbury screens and Jaumann absorbers and of transmission lines made of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) are made. Thereafter, it is described a study on frequency surface selective structures (FSS). It is proposed the development of devices and microwave integrated circuits (MIC) of such structures, for the accomplishment of experiments. Finally, future works are suggested, for instance, on the development of reflectarrays, frequency selective surfaces with dissimilar elements, and coupled frequency selective surfaces with elements located on different layers

Estudo da Potencialidade da produção de tijolos de adobe misturado com outros materiais: uma alternativa de baixo custo para a construção civil

The production of the red pottery brick, made traditionally with clay, is a technique that is already stabled. However, in spite of the little complexity that involves the conventional process of these bricks production, it are exposed to many problems that begin in the fase of exploration of the mines, the problems get worse because of the lack of the clay's characterization, and they continue through the steps of the dough preparation, conformation of the products, the drying and the burning process. The wastefulness is shown and so is the low quality of the material produced. Among other factors, the high use of energy in the burning makes the cost of this material inaccessible to the low income consumer. Besides this, the destruction of the environment around the mines and the use of native vegetation to produce wood - the most used fuel in the pottery industry - make serious environmental damage. The production technique of a new type of simple brick (adobe), that has low cost and no environmental damage, can be the viable altemative to lower the cost of this part of the civil construction, and, consequently, in the building of cheaper houses. In this paper, the results of the mechanical resistance of the adobe brick are shown, using in its composition, clay, natural vegetable fibers, cement and plaster in a process that is completely handcrafted and manual. It is intented to make clear that are possible alternatives to be put in practice, with the simple process, using "raw earth" that has been used in the construction of houses in thousands of years, trying to solve these severe problems. Analysis and tests were performed to find results that could prove the possibility of the utilization of this kind of material. Other studies are in progress, and the new researches are necessary to enrich this work, but it stays the certainty that there is potential to produce bricks from adobe, as an alternative that has low cost to civil construction

Balanço energético de um forno túnel de cerâmica estrutural convertido de lenha para gás natural

In energy systems, the balance of entrances, exits and losses are fundamental to rationalize the energy consumption, independently of the source (sun, natural gas, wind, water, firewood or oil). This estimate is important so much in the phase of project of the facilities, as in the exploration or operation. In the project phase it indicates the energy needs of the process and the contribution of the energy in the cost of the product and the capacity of storage of the fuel and in the operation phase it allows to evaluate the use of the energy in the process of it burns, showing the weak points that should suffer intervention to improve the efficiency. With this tool, it can be implemented routines of calculation of thermal balances in ovens of it burns of structural ceramic, in way to generate an optimized mathematical model for application in the current and promising structural ceramic brazilian industry. The ceramic oven in study is located in the metropolitan area of Natal (Rio Grande do Norte) and it is a continuous oven of the type wagons tunnel, converted of firewood for natural gas and it produces blocks of red ceramic. The energy balance was applied in the oven tunnel before and after the conversion and made the comparisons of the energy efficiencies (it burns to the firewood and it burns to natural gas), what showed that the gaseous fuel is more efficient when we burn structural ceramic in ovens tunnels. When we burn natural gas, the requested energy is smaller and better used. Tests were accomplished in the burned product that showed the best quality of the burned brick with natural gas. That quality improvement makes possible to accomplish new interventions for the most rational use of the energy in the oven tunnel of the Ceramic in study and in the industries of structural ceramic of the whole Brazil, that need control tools of burning and of quality

Incorporação de lodo de esgoto na massa cerâmica para fabricação de tijolos maciços: uma alternativa para a disposição final de resíduo

The disposal of sewage sludge is a growing problem face up to management of sanitary sevices. Otherwise, because its making process characteristic, the Ceramic Industry can tolerate the presence of this wastes as raw material. This study has as object to confirm the use of the sewage sluge in the Ceramic Industry like a sustentable alternative for its disposal. Futhermore, this study quests to evaluate the maximum proportion for incorporation of sludge wich result in technically and enviromentally suitable bricks. For found this proportion, the research consisted of (1) making of bricks in full scale, adde up 0%, 5%,10%, 15%, 20%, 25%,30%, 35% e 40% sludge, with size 220x105x45 mm, hand-molded by rammer and baked by industrial kiln; and (2) tecnical and enviromental evaluation of this bricks, according to Brazilian norms. The raw material uses were two distinct clays come from Goianinha/RN and sewage comes from a septic system tank and pumped into tank vehicle, of Natal/RN. The technical evaluation allowed to conclude the addiotion of the sludge brings about signifcant lost of mass and the water absorption grew up according to increase of sludge: every sludge-amended clay bricks absorved more water than control group. Thus, the compressive strength was signicantly decreased because the increase of sludge: bricks with 5% sludge added lost 45% of strength achieved at control group; the bricks made with 10 and 20% lost almost 70% of bigger strength. With up to 25% sludge added to the bricks, the streght decreased over 90%. Concerning heavy metal leaching, the two maximum proportion wich have tecnical approval, it means bricks sludge added with 15 and 20%, can say there is no risk of enviromental contamination using those bricks. This way, in this work context, it can to conclude the maximum proportion atends the technical and enviromental criterion is 20%

Produção de forragem verde em sistema hidropônico usando esgoto tratado

In the urban areas of the cities a larger problem of destiny of effluents of the treatment stations is verified due to the junction of the sewages in great volumes. This way the hidroponic cultive becomes important, for your intensive characteristic, as alternative of reuse. This work presents as objective the improvement of the relation hidric-nutritious of the hidroponic cultive of green forage (FVH) using treaty sewage. The production of forage was with corn (Zea mays L.), using double hybrid AG1051, in the experimental field of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), in the city of Natal-RN-Brazil. The treated effluent essentially domestic had origin of anaerobic reactor, type decant-digester of two cameras in series followed by anaerobic filters drowned. The hidroponic experimental system was composed of 08 stonemasons, with limited contours for masonry of drained ceramic brick, measuring each one 2,5 meters in length for 1,0 meter of width, with inclination of 4% (m/m) in the longitudinal sense, leveled carefully, in way to not to allow preferential roads in the flow. These dimensions, the useful area of Isow was of 2 square meters. The stonemasons of cultive were waterproof (found and lateral) with plastic canvas of 200 micres of thickness, in the white color. Controlled the entrance and exit of the effluente in the stonemasons, with cycles of 12,68 minutes, it being water of 1,18 minutes. The treatments were constituted of: T1 - 24 hours/day under it waters with flow of 2 L/min; T2 - 12 hours/day under waters with flow of 4 L/min; T3 - 12 hours/day under waters with flow of 2 L/min; and T4 - 16 hours/day under waters with flow of 3 L/min. There were evaluations of the evapotranspirometric demand, of hidroponic system affluent and effluent seeking to characterize and to monitor physical-chemical parameters as: pH, temperature, Electric Conductivity and Fecal Coliforms. This last one was analyzed to the 11 days after isow (DAS) and to the 14 DAS. The others were analyzed daily. I sow it was accomplished in the dates of February 21, 2007, first experiment, and April 10, 2007, second experiment. The density of Isow was of 2 kg of seeds, germinated before 48 hours, for square meter of stonemason. The statistic delineament was it casual entirely with two repetitions, in two experiments. It was applied Tukey test of average to five percent of probability. The cultivation cycle was of 14 DAS with evapotranspirometric demand maximum, reached by T1, of 67,44 mm/day. The analyzed parameters, as mass of green matter - Kg, productivity-Kg/m2 and reason of production of seed FVH/Kg used in Isow, the best result was presented by T1, obtaining value of up to 19,01 Kg/m2 of cultive. Without significant difference, the T4 presented greats values with 16 hours under cycle of water. The Treatments 2 and 3 with 12 hours under cycle of water, they obtained inferior results to the other Treatments. As treatment system, came efficient in the reduction of the salinity. T1 obtained reduction medium maxim of 62,5%, to the 7 DAS, in the amount of salts that enter in the system in they are absorbed in the cultivation. The cultivation FVH acted reducing the microbiologic load. Significant percentile of reduction they were reached, with up to 90,23% of reduction of Units of Colonies (UFC), constituting, like this, the Hidroponic System as good alternative of treatment of effluents of Reactors of high Efficiency

Nitrificação de efluentes de reatores anaeróbicos em filtros submersos aerados

Although the good performance in organic matter and suspended solids removal, the anaerobic reactors are unable to remove ammonia nitrogen from sewage, which makes indispensable to include a step of post-treatment for removal of ammonia or nitrate as necessary. This paper presents the performance of a new variant technology, where the nitrification unit, preceded by anaerobic units, is a submerged aerated biological filter, without continuous sludge discharge in their daily operation. The oxygenation system is very simple and inexpensive, consisting of perforated hoses and compressors. The anaerobic reactors are a septic tank with two chambers followed (8.82 m³) and two parallel anaerobic filters (36 m³ each) filled with ceramic bricks and conics plastic parts. Both followed aerated filters were filled with cut corrugated conduit. The study evaluated the behavior of the system with constant domestic sewage flow (10 m³/d) and different aeration conditions, are these: stage 01, when applied air flow of 0.01 m³ air/min in both aerated filter; stage 02, remained in the initial air flow rate in the second aerated filter and increased at the first to 0.05 m³ air/min; at last, at last, in stage 03, the air flow rate of first aerated filter was 0.10 m³ air/min and on the second remained at 0.01 m³ air/min. The filter FA1 received load of 0.41 kg COD/m³.d, 0.37 kg COD/m³.d and 0.26 kg COD/m³.d on phases 01, 02 and 03, respectively. The FA2 received loads of 0.25 kg COD/m³.d, 0.18 kg COD/m³.d and 0.14 kg COD/m³.d on phases 01, 02 and 03, respectively. During stage 01, were found the following results: 98% removals of BODtotal and 92% of CODtotal, with effluent presenting 9 mg/L of BODtotal final average and 53 mg/L of CODtotal average; suspended solids removals of 93%, with a mean concentration of 10 mg/L in the final effluent; 47% reduction of ammonia of FA2 to FAN 's, presenting average of 28 mg NNH3/ L of ammonia in the effluent with; the dissolved oxygen levels always remained around 2.0 mg/L. During stage 02, were found removals of 97% and 95% to BODtotal and suspended solids, respectively, with average final concentrations of 8 and 7 mg/L, respectively; was removed 60% of ammonia, whose final concentration was 16.3 mg NNH3/ L, and nitrate was increased to a final average concentration of 16.55 mg N-NO3/L. Finally, the stage 03 provided 6 mg/L of DBOtotal (98% removal) and 23 mg/L of CODtotal (95% removal) of final effluent concentrations average. At this stage was identified the higher ammonia oxidation (86%), with final effluent showing average concentration of 6.1 mg N-NH3/L, reaching a minimum of 1.70 mg N-NH3/L. In some moments, during stage 03, there was a moderate denitrification process in the last aerated filter. The average turbidity in the effluent showed around 1.5 NTU, proving the good biomass physical stability. Therefore, the results demonstrate the submerged biological filters potential, filled with high void ratio material (98%), and aerated with hoses and compressor adoption, in the carbonaceous and nitrogenous matter oxidation, also generating an effluent with low concentration of solids
