The service provider asks for billing when the residential building uses its own water supply system. Thus, the objective of the work is to quantify the revenue losses (R$) that the Pará Sanitation Company (COSANPA) suffers for not supplying the 24 residential buildings located in the area in the third sector, located in the municipality of Belém in the State of Pará. A document consultation was carried out on the volumes of water consumed and billed in 25 residential buildings with water supply from the Pará Sanitation Company (COSANPA) to then estimate the values (volume and possible billing in reais) in residential buildings that use own source of water supply in the area of Cosanpa’s third water supply sector. The data collection source was entirely from the integrated sanitation service management system (Gsan). The Research was developed in three stages. The first stage consisted of identifying the residential buildings that use Cosanpa’s water and identifying the residential buildings that do not use Cosanpa’s water. The second stage consisted of collecting and systematizing water consumption information for the two groups of selected buildings (buildings supplied by COSANPA and buildings supplied with their own system). The third and last consisted of the comparative analysis of noncollection (monetary R$) in residential buildings not supplied with water by COSANPA, based on the premise of collection of residential buildings served by the Pará Sanitation Company (COSANPA). It was verified that the company failed to collect BRL 3,142,281.65 (three million, one hundred and forty-two thousand, two hundred and eighty-one reais and sixty-five cents) in five years, which represents 45.97% of the amount collected by the buildings supplied by the company

Avaliação de cargas poluidoras de nutrientes em canais urbanos de macrodrenagem no município de Belém/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-02-28) BORGES, Erika Joana Nabiça; COELHO, André Luiz da Silva Salgado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0853586340257273
With the expansion and population growth of the municipality of Belém/PA, areas with little or almost no sanitation infrastructure were developed, since as it grew, it circumvented water accidents instead of sanitizing them, resulting in large investments in works of macrodrainage currently, in peripheral areas. This work sought to evaluate the degree of pollution caused by polluting loads of nutrients in the 03 (three) macrodrainage channels, being Quintino Bocaiúva, Timbiras and Caripunas, belonging to BHEN, whose contribution flows into the main source of public supply in the municipality. For this, the work carried out the calculation of polluting loads of nutrients, analyzing NTK, ammoniacal-N, organic-N, Nitrate (NO3) and Total Phosphorus, in 5 qualitative campaigns, in addition to having carried out a bathymetric survey in 3 campaigns, considering the rainy and less rainy period. Initially, the flow results were presented, which after simulation it was verified that the highest flow is related to the Quintino channel, which was to be expected due to its greater contribution area. The correlation between nutrients and physical variables of temperature, OD and pH of the water was also verified. Thus, it was found that despite being small in most cases, there is a correlation between those mentioned. In addition, the concentration of the parameters was analyzed separately, based on the results of the laboratory analysis, in which the forms of nitrogen and phosphorus exceeded the limits recommended in the legislation, also expected due to the high contribution of the subbasins, in addition to there being no treatment efficient domestic sewage system in this area. Finally, the polluting load values were analyzed based on the relationship between flow and concentration, resulting in high values of load released into the receiving body, characterizing a scenario of extreme water degradation. Still, with this relationship it was possible to estimate the population that would be contributing to this scenario, whose numerical values were also quite high and not consistent with the reality in the area. Therefore, through these results, it is possible to affirm that they may be harmful to the waters of the canals, where a significant degradation of the quality of the waters is expected, which will follow to the Guamá river, and consequently, will reach the population that directly or indirectly have contact with these bodies of water

With the unavailability of financial resources and the high cost of implementing conventional sanitary sewage systems of the absolute separator type, regions with disorderly occupation and, often, subject to unfavorable topographical situations, end up not being contemplated with basic sanitary sewage services. Complementarily, this issue is accentuated by the lack of local references regarding the costs of implementing sanitary sewage collection networks in Pará, as well as parameters for the conception and elaboration of projects in the state context. In this sense, it is necessary that the typology of the sewage network to be implemented in each location be carefully planned, bearing in mind the particularities of each area, as well as the technical criteria to be adopted in the project. Considering the problem addressed, the objective of the present research was to establish values, expressed in R$/m of COSANPA's sanitary sewage collection network project, for analysis and identification of the budget worksheet items referring to the collection network and household connections, being updated the costs in the spreadsheet for the base date October 2022. In the first stage, the projects and works of the sewage collection network were surveyed in the COSANPA and SEDOP database, from this survey, the projects were selected for the preparation of the Technical Sheet, containing the main information on the sanitary sewage system. In the second stage, from the budgets of each project, the construction values practiced in projects and works of sanitary sewage collection network under the management of COSANPA and SEDOP were identified, then the budgets were analyzed and the values for the same were updated. base date (October 2022), using the National Civil Construction Index – INCC of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation – FGV. In the third stage, the values of the sewage collection network of each project were compared. In the fourth stage, a range of values for the construction of a sewage collection network was presented, expressed in R$/meter of network. This range of costs will make it possible to determine a regional reference indicator regarding the implementation cost per meter of the sanitary sewage collection network, allowing its application in studies, reports and regional projects for the collection network; contributing with Specialized Consultancies, with Higher Education Institutions and with the Public Power, with actions that culminate in the increase of sewage coverage in the Metropolitan Region of Belém.

Estudo comparativo entre metodologias de dimensionamento de sistemas prediais de água fria de um hospital localizado em Belém do Pará, de acordo com a atualização da nbr 5626
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-03-30) MACHADO, Cláudia Letícia da Silva; SANTOS, Aline Christian Pimentel Almeida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1388841813412015; ADAM, Katiucia Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2498018628901734
The hydraulic installations must be designed and built in such a way as to ensure the uninterrupted supply of water, in sufficient quantity, at adequate pressures and speeds, under appropriate conditions for the development of human activities and for human consumption, ensuring comfort to users including the reduction of noise levels in pipes. These conditions are met from the technical standards that determine hydraulic parameters and calculation methods to be followed by designers, who take into account a theoretical study of pipe and connection sizing that, in practice, due to water consumption and practical operation, ended up causing the adequacy of manufacturers of sanitary appliances, development of more efficient technologies. Through laboratory tests, many manufacturers began to provide essential technical information for the development of more assertive projects, such as the actual water consumption of the appliances, especially the characteristic curves of flow as a function of pressure, fundamental for use in the design of water systems and for the development of new methods, in order to consider the variable flow in the points of consumption. Tied to this new scenario the updating of technical standards among them the NBR 5626, which expands the possibility of using specific data of manufacturers and sizing of facilities. In this context, the present work proposed a comparative study of the sizing methodologies of the hydraulic installations of cold water installed in a hospital located in Belém do Pará, according to the update of NBR 5626/2020 building systems of cold water and hot water - design, execution, operation and maintenance that cancels and replaces NBR 5626/1998 cold water building facilities. Thus, the research was divided into step (1) bibliographic research, presentation of the study area and data collection, step (2) dimensioning of the cold water system considering nbr 5626/98, step (3): sizing of the cold water system considering NBR 5626/20 and step (4) analysis of the results. In general, with this case study, a practical approach was obtained to apply the updated parameters of the NBR 5626/2020 regulation in relation to NBR 5626/1998, presenting flow values, determined by the specific information of each sanitary piece, where we had an increase in this parameter, as to the diameter we had in most of the preumadas the decrease directly interfering in the load loss that increased and how much available pressure a decrease.

Waste management is one of the main challenges of modern society, especially when it comes to finding more sustainable and economical alternatives for the treatment and disposal of these materials. In this context, biosolids, a byproduct generated from wastewater treatment, have been identified as a possible source of nutrients and organic matter for agriculture and other sectors, thus contributing to a more circular economy. Biosolids contain a large amount of nutrients that can be used to improve soil quality and increase agricultural productivity (OLIVEIRA et al., 2018). In addition, the use of biosolids as fertilizer can reduce the need for chemical inputs, contributing to the reduction of the environmental impact associated with final disposal (RIBEIRO et al., 2015). This study was conducted in a mining company in the state of Pará, Brazil, which has eight decentralized anaerobic wastewater treatment plants. The study aimed to define the treatment route for biosolids, as well as to evaluate the economic viability of implementing a drying bed for the production of biosolids to be applied in the restoration of degraded areas. It was found that 11,776 kg of total suspended solids (TSS) per year of sludge are generated, resulting in the design of a drying bed with three cells, each with 22 m², an operation cycle of 25 days, and a Surface Application Rate of 13.30 Kg TSS/m²xdia. For sanitization, CaO was chosen. The implementation cost of the drying bed was R$ 100,358.70, operational costs were R$ 2,059.62/month, and the solution via incineration was R$ 18,415.80/month. Based on the simple and discounted payback, the investment returns in approximately 7.14 and 7.19 months, respectively, and is part of the synergistic costs with the current sanitation management. The other indicators point to the investment as viable and capable of financial surplus. Therefore, the company will have financial and environmental gains with the implementation of the project.

Modelagem de Informação da Construção (BIM) para Proposição de Alternativas de Tratamento de lixiviado
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-03-19) SILVA, Rafael Haruo Yoshida; MENDONÇA, Neyson Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7534816053779593
The treatment of municipal solid waste leachate involves significant technical complexity due to its highly diverse composition, which is concentrated in organic, inorganic, and emerging contaminants, demanding a high level of engineering design. In this context, the use of facilitating tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the conception, execution, and management phases of these projects becomes essential for optimizing the time and resources required for each related stage. This is supported by Decree-Law No. 10,306 of April 2, 2020, and Law No. 14,133 of April 1, 2021. Given the need for adapting engineering projects to BIM and the environmentally adequate management of leachate generated in sanitary landfills, this dissertation aims to apply the BIM concept in the development of leachate treatment alternatives, exploring two treatment arrangements: alternative 01 for the low-load scenario and alternative 02 for the high-load scenario. The results obtained from the application of BIM in the design of the two leachate treatment alternatives were: (I) quantities of pipes, connections, hydraulic equipment, and treatment units; (II) verification of the number of inconsistencies in the two models; and (III) graphical pieces and images of the models. The quantity of alternative 02 exceeded alternative 01 by 100% in most of the items analyzed, except for the pipes, due to the complexity of alternative 02 and the scenario it pertains to (high load), thus requiring a greater allocation of resources. Regarding the inconsistencies observed in both models, a total of 64 inconsistencies between pipes, connections, and special valves were identified and corrected. As a result of the modeling, 70 graphical pieces, 10 quantity tables, and 8 rendered 3D images were generated. Regarding the evaluation of the leachate treatment alternatives 01 and 02 through the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, indices of 0,94 and 0,74 was obtained, respectively. These values highlight the difference between the two scenarios (high load and low load) and the need for greater infrastructure and more significant resources in the expansion of the leachate treatment plant for alternative 02. By comparing the treated effluent discharge standards from CONAMA 430/2011 with international standards for treated leachate discharge, it was observed that Japan, Australia, France and United States of America were the countries most similar to Brazil, presenting similar regulated parameter values of 52.63%, 42.11%, 42.11% and 42.11 respectively. However, many of these parameters have different maximum allowable values when compared to those in Brazil, emphasizing the need for the requalification of current regulations and resolutions. Considering all the results obtained in this dissertation, the application of BIM in engineering projects proves to be a promising approach for optimizing time and resources in the conception, execution, and management of projects, although still in early stages in Brazil.

Monitoramento da qualidade da água de consumo humano em Belém-PA/: uso de dashboards visando aprimorar a gestão municipal
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-06-27) NASCIMENTO JÚNIOR, Lourival Maurício; COELHO, André Luiz da Silva Salgado; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0853586340257273
The present study aims to monitor water for human consumption in the Municipality of Belém/PA through dashboards, which are visual panels where relevant information is condensed and presented to facilitate data analysis. The idea of the work is to develop a strategic tool for monitoring the quality of water for human consumption for the Municipality of Belém/PA that is dynamic and interactive, considering data from the Water Quality Surveillance Information System (SISAGUA). The methodology used consisted of 3 distinct stages. In stage 1, monitoring data were extracted from the SISAGUA system, referring to the variables residual free chlorine, turbidity, total coliforms and Escherichia Coli, registered between the years 2018 and 2023. In stage 2, with the data extracted in Excel spreadsheet format, The physical-chemical index (IFQ) for turbidity and free residual chlorine was determined, with the aim of evaluating whether the water meets the maximum permitted values. For the variables Total Coliforms and Escherichia Coli, whose laboratory results are presence or absence, the bacteriological index (BI) was calculated to assess whether the water meets the bacteriological standard for potability. In stage 3, dashboards were created to assist in monitoring water for human consumption, using the Microsoft Excel program, through which it is possible to observe and make comparisons with current potability criteria. For the water supply system (SAA), 3,518 samples were extracted, and for collective alternative solutions (SAC), 785 samples were extracted. The designation of these forms of supply as SAA or SAC is the responsibility of Environmental Surveillance when entering the data into SISAGUA, according to the criteria established in the potability ordinance. The results at the station outlet showed that the IFQ for free residual chlorine ranged from 34.02% to 66.67%, while in the distribution network it ranged from 18.40% to 35.60%, both below the ideal IFQ of 100%. The results at the station outlet showed that the IFQ for turbidity ranged from 82.86% to 100%, while in the distribution network it ranged from 92.96% to 95.06%. The results at the station exit showed that the BI for Escherichia coli ranged from 86.05% to 96.67%, while in the distribution network it ranged from 86.10% to 90.54%, values below the ideal BI of 100%. There were worrying non conformities in relation to residual free chlorine and Escherichia coli, as these are important indicators of the sanitary quality of the water. This demonstrates the advantage of using a dashboard compared to traditional reports. The use of this tool by the Health and Environmental Surveillance of the Municipality of Belém/PA can positively contribute as an instrument to support municipal management, facilitating decision-making and monitoring water for human consumption.

Water is the essential input for life and various human activities. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, it brought numerous benefits to humanity; however, it also incurred costs, such as water pollution. One of the tools to curb water contamination is environmental management based on water quality monitoring, guided by laws and environmental indicators. To control and track data for water quality monitoring, the principles of Industry 4.0, considered the fourth industrial revolution, have been applied in recent years. The emergence of these technologies dedicated to water monitoring brings benefits to managers and decision-makers, aiding in the assessment of water resource quality. This allows for a more efficient and reliable approach to collected information. In light of this, this study developed a digital platform for monitoring and diagnosing data related to the environmental control of surface waters. The goal was to address the vast amount of data derived from large cities like Belém and Barcarena. To evaluate the functionality of the tool, areas synonymous with economic and social growth -ports - were chosen in these cities. The platform was created using JavaScript for the web system, and cloud storage utilized the Azure backend and Netlify frontend. The E-quality platform aims to fill the gap in information storage, providing monitoring results in an easy and dynamic manner. By evaluating the behavior of results over months and years through historical data, calculating environmental indices such as IQA and IET from the existing database, the platform assesses and filters gross errors, such as date errors, quantification limits, and assay expiration dates. It also compares the results with relevant legislation.

Prestação dos serviços públicos de limpeza urbana e manejo de resíduos sólidos e drenagem e manejo das águas pluviais urbanas: proposta de atos normativos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-10-07) ANDRADE, Marcello Ádamis; TAVARES, Antonio de Noronha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5212600085310483; BITTENCOURT, Germana Menescal; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2304409840440309
Federal Law n° 11.445/2007 defined important aspects regarding the regulation of the provision of public sanitation services, including regulation and inspection. In this sense, the regulatory agencies, in compliance with the ANA guidelines, must issue rules relating to the technical dimensions of the provision of public sanitation services. The objective of the present work is to propose technical resolutions for the establishment of quality standards for the provision of public services of urban cleaning and solid waste management and drainage and management of urban rainwater in the city of Belém. To this end, a review of the technical literature was carried out on the subject, survey of existing resolutions in other regulatory agencies, and analysis of the pertinent legislation in force and analysis of the relevant legislation in force for the proposition of normative acts. When analyzing the existing resolutions, it is possible to verify that not all regulatory agencies that claim to regulate a certain axis of basic sanitation have a large normative framework on them. For the construction of the resolutions, it was necessary, in addition to the expertise of the other agencies that already have normative acts in the same direction, to make use of a legal framework, with the intention of guaranteeing the legality of the requirements adopted by the regulatory agency with the service providers. The proposed rules were prepared in specific chapters for each service to be regulated in the general rule for the provision of services and with an indication of those who should have their own rules. It is concluded that the complete regulation of sanitation is a challenge imposed on regulatory agencies, few regulatory entities have the legal instruments of regulation, however, these resources are indispensable since there is a need for a legal basis that supports regulation.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-01-27) FERNANDES NETO, Antenor Amaral; ADAM, Katiúcia Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2498018628901734; ALMEIDA, Aline Christian Pimentel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1388841813412015; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7421-5632
This work analyzed the physical conditions and the distribution of urban fire hydrants in the city of Ananindeua-PA, using GIS tools and how this distribution impacts the fire protection of the municipality. For this, four steps were carried out: In the first stage, the rules and norms in force on urban fire hydrants where surveyed. In the second stage, data were collected from existing hydrants (quantification, verification of installation and maintenance conditions, use and distribution of hydrants), through field visits and collection of secondary data from competent authorities (COSANPA and Firefighters). Subsequently, an analysis of the installation and maintenance conditions of urban fire hydrants was carried out using geoprocessing techniques. Finally, after analyzing the data, a proposal was drawn up for the redistribution of this equipment in the urban area of Ananindeua-PA (technical report), with the aim of optimizing the use and making fire fighting more effective. Thus, it was possible to verify the divergence between the current norms, as well as the inadequate distribution of urban hydrants and their poor maintenance, in addition to showing lower flow rates than required by the norms.

Public cleaning services for sanitary sewage collection networks generate waste. Proper management of this waste helps to extend the useful life of landfills, prevent environmental degradation and prevent sanitation service providers from becoming subject to civil and criminal penalties, according to article n. 60 of the environmental crimes law n. 9,605/1998. The objective is to present a proposal for a methodology for managing waste removed in the cleaning of sewage collection networks sanitary - SCNS. Developed in the area Sewage Treatment Station-STS II, at Avenue Tavares Bastos, S 1°24'18.4" W 48°26'52.3". The work was carried out in 3 stages, with the first stage determining the volume (m³) of non-coarse waste, decantable in the waste tanks of hydrojet trucks, removed in the SCN cleanings, in the year 2022, considering for comparative purposes the 3 rainiest and even months of that year. In the volumetric determination, a mathematical model for determining volumes of horizontal cylinders was used and, to validate this model, cubages were carried out, with a 1m³ stretcher, of the decantable waste from the tanks of two trucks, in triplicate, and the arithmetic means of the volumes obtained were compared. In the 2nd stage, the technically suitable location was identified to: package, sanitize and dispose of the waste removed in the SCN cleanings for final disposal. To this end, the characteristics of the SSS were analyzed, where the waste in question is concentrated, considering the availability of area for expansion, security (personal and property) and the proximity of a preliminary sewage station unit for treatment of the liquid part. Finally, in the 3rd stage, a proposal for a methodology for managing this waste was presented. To this end, all the steps from the previous stages were compiled sequentially, from the control of the information on the service orders for carrying out the SCN cleanings to the final disposal of the waste generated in this SCN cleaning. As a result, the volume values determined for the three rainiest months were 3.182 m³, and for the three less rainy months, 3.147 m³. The rainy season was considered the most critical for a possible annual extrapolation. The location with geographic coordinates 1°24'17.4"S 48°26'49.9"W, on the STS II site, was adopted for the implementation of a device with impermeable flooring and transparent covering, interconnected to pumping station 4 of STS II. It was concluded that it is possible to apply the methodology presented for the management of waste removed in the cleaning of SCN, for immediate disposal in a sanitary landfill. For the practice of reusing this waste, specific studies for this purpose will be essential

The pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainability in sanitation systems motivated this study, which investigated the use of variable-speed centrifugal pumps (VSCPs) in water supply, sewage systems, and urban drainage processes. The main objective was to develop a computational tool to simulate the behavior of these pumps under different operational conditions, comparing their performance with constant-speed pumps (CSPs). The methodology included mathematical modeling based on hydrodynamic similarity laws and the implementation of a C++ algorithm, validated through comparison with reference data. Twenty one scenarios were analyzed, varying the initial flow rate (Qₘ) from 200 to 800 m³/h and the flow variation amplitude (Aq) from 20 to 60 m³/h, over 24-hour periods. Results demonstrated that VSCPs are significantly more efficient at low flow rates (Qₘ ≤ 400 m³/h), achieving energy savings between 19% and 43%. However, at higher flow rates (Qₘ ≥ 500 m³/h), variable-speed operation became less advantageous, resulting in increased energy consumption (up to 154% in extreme cases). The reduction in power consumption at low-speed regimes, combined with the flexibility to adjust flow rates without throttling losses, justifies the adoption of VSCPs in systems with fluctuating demands. It was concluded that variable-speed technology is feasible for energy optimization in specific contexts, particularly in sanitation applications with moderate demand variations. The developed tool enables the analysis of real-world scenarios, supporting technical decision-making and education in sanitary and environmental engineering.

Identifies the main problems related to basic sanitation and public health in the Guamá Administrative District (DAGUA), at Belém-Pa, counting with the help of Geographic Information System (GIS). The research methodology was developed into four stages: in the first, the main basic sanitation problems in DAGUA were identified; after that, with the help of GIS point maps, the number of confirmed cases of diseases related to basic sanitation such as Dengue fever, chikungunya, Acute Diarrhoeal Diseases (DDA) (2017-2018), THE Zica virus, Leptospirosis, Yellow fever, Hepatitis, A-viruses were surveyed and spatialized from 2015 to 2022 in the database of the Belém Municipal Health Department (SESMA); in the third stage a comparison was made between the lack of basic sanitation and the public health problems in the research area, and these were spatialized using GIS choropleth maps; in the last stage, structuring and structural measures were proposed for DAGUA. The results were as follows: the need for maintenance in the treatment units and in the water networks distribution, since many are exposed and routed into drainage channels that receive fresh effluent; the scenario of a lack of service for sewage collection and treatment in all the neighborhoods belonging to DAGUA; the presence of flooding points and areas susceptible to flooding; and solid waste disposed of in irregular places, which contributes to the proliferation of rodents and diseases and instability in the periodicity of waste collection. In addition, regarding public health, it can be seen that the Guamá neighborhood is the most affected by all types of diseases, but DDA were the ones with the highest number of cases, although the information provided is only for the years 2017 and 2018. Thus, the relationship between disease indicators and sanitation conditions in the research area showed that the lack of adequate sanitation may be the cause of the increase in the number of occurrences of the diseases analyzed. In order to improve the relationship between sanitation and public health, this research proposed structuring measures and structural measures. Therefore, the development of this research made it possible, through GIS, to analyze the relationship between basic sanitation and public health in DAGUA, in order to better serve the social body and provide a better quality of life.
