RESUMO

In the present work was estimated the contribution of methane emission to the global atmosphere. In this study were realized two campaigns of collections in the settling ponds n.°03 (2008) and n.°04 (2010) with sampling operation being carried out in points coming into and out of the lagoons. A gas collector has been utilized as the UASB inner gas keeper and the static chamber technique to samples of the total flux, that chamber was adapted to collect diffusive flux in which was settled a screen to prevent bubble flux. To the flux analyses were measured some environmental variable mainly the temperature, and divided by type: diffusive (released to the atmosphere through the massive diffusion) and bubble (released to the atmosphere through bubble). The bubble flux submitted about 95% of the total methane liberation to the atmosphere and submitted an average value of 9.008 mgCH4/m².day. The diffusive flux submitted an average value of 421 mgCH4/m².day. Due of a little variation in the temperature it was not possible to verify the co-relation between methane flux with the temperatures. In spite of the height backlog of sludge in the deep of collection the direct co-relation was obtained. In the energetic potential of methane was estimated 471 kgCH4/day that could be recovered, would generate until 196 MWh/month of energy ignoring the system loss. Considering the average total flux of total area of the collection decantation lagoons, the annual emission of methane was 264 MgCH4 (Mega grams of methane). Those estimates still retain an uncertainty due extrapolations of the measures carried out
