Reverse Osmose Effluent as an Alternative for Air Conditioning in Technology Parks

Reverse Osmose Effluent as an Alternative for Air Conditioning in Technology Parks

Geraldo, Samara ; Cruz, Luana ;

Full Paper:

Fourth-generation technology parks prioritize the sustainable use of resources. Consequently, the evaluation of treatment effluent for Reverse Osmosis (RO) as an alternative for air conditioning systems was undertaken. To achieve this objective, the methodology focused on assessing parameters such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), both total and soluble, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Turbidity, and pH. These parameters were chosen to ensure the quality and suitability of the treated effluent for reuse in the air conditioning alimentation system, aligning with the overarching goal of resource sustainability within technology park environments, and the standards achieved with literature review. The results indicated that the treatment effluent met the necessary requirements for the analysed parameters, as supported by literature review. However, it is essential to further evaluate factors such as energy consumption and additional parameters to comprehensively assess the feasibility and sustainability of this approach.
