RESUMO

The rational use and reuse concepts as tools for water and wastewater management programs in industry are proposed and evaluated. It is presented and discussed the basic issues related to the needs of developing and implementing a water and wastewater management program and its importance to industry. The evaluation and validation of the proposed tools were based on a Case Study developed at KODAK Brasileira – Indústria e Comércio Ltda. The main industrial processes were analyzed, in order to identify water demand and major areas for water optimization and reuse opportunities. The results associated with water optimization and reuse, were very satisfactory, both in terms of water consumption reduction as well as productivity increase. The global water reduction potential was estimated at 14,5 %, and the gain on productivity at about 76 hours per month. On the other hand it was verified that wastewater reuse has its own limitations. The results obtained allows for the conclusion that rational use and reuse are basic tools on developing any water and wastewater management program for industry. However the technical and economical limitation should be carefully evaluated.
