Salvador is hosting the III International Seminar of the Latin American Association for Water Desalination and Reuse (Aladyr). The seminar began yesterday and ends today, at the hotel wish and is gathering around 300 participants, among them the leading leaders of the sector in Latin America. In Brazil, several surveys are under way, in several research centers and universities. One of the projects is the Sweet Water Program. The actions began to be implemented in 2012, in nine states in the Northeast and also in Minas Gerais.
According to the Ministry of Regional Development, 639 works of desalination systems have been completed in the last 7 years. About 145 of them were installed in 24 municipalities in Bahia at the end of last year.
The initiatives include actions to reuse waste generated by the desalination process. One of them suggested by Empraba and already implemented by the Ministry of the Environment in some Brazilian municipalities, involves the reuse of tailings in fish farming and planting of forages to feed goats.
According to Antônio Juliani, deputy coordinator of renewable energy and sustainability and analyst of the Ministry of Economics "the ministry is working to make this system more accessible. The intention is to make effective the use of the ex - tariff system, in order to be able to import at zero rate the desalination machine ".
But Juliani points out that Reuse is just as important as desalination and can be used with is already in large companies. "The ideal would be to use hybrid, wind and solar energy. During the day the solar and the night the wind. We need to study where it is more feasible to promote these actions ", he says emphasizing that to use the machine is invested a lot of energy.
Since the creation of the Água Doce program in 2012, R $ 250 million has already been invested and 22 million Brazilians have benefited, 9 million of whom are in rural areas.
According to Aladyr's director, Alejandro Sturniolo, "the proposal of the meeting is to provide information exchange in water management, integration of new technologies and exposure of initiatives and projects developed in Latin America." He highlights the work of Cetrel in the Industrial Pole of Camaçari as the largest company in Latin America in the Industrial sector in this water treatment segment.
For Demosthenes Carvalho, director of Cetrel, "we have developed a partnership with Fluence and we work with all 70 companies in the Camaçari Industrial Complex. The company operates in environmental monitoring, remediation processes, waste treatment for final disposal, as well as processes aim to provide energy or material recycling of water.Desalination Machine
About 10 thousand dollars, approximately 40 thousand reais. That's how much it costs a desalination machine that measures about two meters high, two wide, and can produce up to 500 liters of drinking water per hour from sea water.
The pilot plant of the Israeli-made equipment is displayed in the parking lot of the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia, Avenida Contorno. It is one of the solutions already used in several cities of the world, to produce fresh water. Water scarcity is a problem that affects much of the territory of Bahia. It is estimated that about 85% of the state of Bahia has a semi-arid climate, where low rainfall rates are recorded throughout the year.
The exhibition is part of the program of the III Seminar of the Latin American Association on Desalination, Reuse and Treatment of Water and Effluents (ALADYR).

http://www.cetrel.com.br/en/field-of-business/effluent/Industrial Pole of CamaçariThe Industrial Pole of Camaçari is located in the municipality of Camaçari, extending to Dias d'Avila , in the state of Bahia . It is the largest industrial center in the state, housing several chemical and petrochemical and automotive industries ( Ford , Continental AG ). Its management comes from the Industrial Development Committee of Camaçari (COFIC), a private business association representing more than 60 companies in the Polo Industrial de Camaçari and in their areas of influence.
With the attraction of new developments to Bahia, the Industrial Complex of Camaçari is currently experiencing a new cycle of expansion, whose physical area increased from 13.4 thousand hectares to 29.3 thousand hectares, implementing new production routes.
Together, all Polo Industrial companies invest US $ 16 billion annually and generate 15 thousand direct jobs, accounting for 20% of Bahia's GDP .
History
OriginThe pole began operations on June 29 , 1978 . It was the first planned petrochemical complex in the country . Currently it stands as the largest integrated industrial complex in the southern hemisphere , housing more than 90 chemical companies, petrochemical and other fields of activity such as industry automotive of pulp , metallurgy of copper , textiles , beverages , equipment production for wind power and services. Initially, it manufactured only chemicals and petrochemicals.
The installation of these industries promoted the development of Camaçari, generating impacts on the economy, education and jobs. It began to attract more labor into the city, and the taxes collected made it one of the richest municipalities in Brazil. The proximity of the industries demanded more professionals of technical and superior level. And to train professionals, technical courses were implemented in the city, with the installation of technical schools and universities . In the area of infrastructure, the pole recorded significant advances such as the implementation of the highway system BA-093, stimulating new investments, allowing the production flow and increasing the competitiveness of the companies installed in the place.
Trajectory Overcoming the many conjunctural crises, changes in economic policy and marked transformations in the international context, the complex experienced successive cycles of expansion, preserving the position of relevance in the industrial sector. Locally, it contributes to the development of the regional economy by offering employment and income, promoting its modernization through the introduction of new technologies, specializations and high standards of technical and business performance.
There are many studies and theses that analyze the impact of the pole on the economy of the State and the development of the Metropolitan Region of Salvador , especially on the urbanization patterns and services of the capital. It is agreed among scholars that the dynamic effects of the complex exceeded those recorded in the 50's with the oil industry and later with the implementation of the Aratu Industrial Center . The pole definitively changed the economic profile of the state, the face of its capital and the labor market of the Bahians, and is still one of the most significant contributions to industrial deconcentration in Brazil.
The pole appeared under the tripartite model, bringing together in its shareholding participation state and private national and foreign initiative. The privatization process started in the early 1990s led to a capital restructuring through mergers and acquisitions, which culminated in the sale of the raw material plant, Copene, in 2001.
The acquisition of the company by the Odebrecht / Mariani consortium represented a milestone in the restructuring of the national petrochemical industry by integrating the plant with second generation units of the group, providing it with capital, production scale and technological support to increase its global competitiveness. From this integration was born Braskem , a world-class company, leader in thermoplastics in Latin America. With assets valued at 12,000,000,000 reais, it is one of the five largest private enterprises in the country.
The current phase of the pole presents, as outstanding features, the expansion and industrial diversification. The largest developments in the state in recent years were located in the Camaçari Complex. Ford has installed the Ford Nordeste Industrial Complex, which is the world's largest and most recent investment, estimated at US $ 1.2 billion, to produce 250,000 vehicles / year for domestic and foreign markets and local production to 300 thousand vehicles, in addition to the installation of an engine factory. The implementation of Ford in 2002 opened a new productive route in the district, allowing its diversification, attracting several companies supplying inputs to the automobile production, tire companies and others, thus reducing the concentration in the production of petrochemicals. The transformation was such that the Polo, formerly called the Petrochemical, became known as Polo Industrial de Camaçari. Since the Monsanto invested 550 million of US dollars to install the first industry of raw materials for herbicides in South America. Despite the advances, it is still reduced the volume of petrochemical end products produced in Camaçari.
With the implementation of the Basf Acrylic Complex , a new petrochemical production route is being created, with a greater impact than that of automobile production, enabling a new production chain that will enable the implementation of the much-desired petrochemical transformation industry.
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polo_Industrial_de_Cama%C3%A7ariIndustrial Pole The Camaçari Industrial Complex is the largest integrated industrial complex in the Southern Hemisphere, with more than 90 companies. It is 50 km from Salvador. The first ones were mainly chemical and petrochemical companies. Then came industries from the automotive, pulp, metallurgy, textile, fertilizer, wind energy, beverage and services industries.
The Pole started operating in 1978, initially with petrochemical industries. In 2012, it had annual revenues of US $ 15 billion, generating around 45 thousand jobs, 15 thousand direct and 30 thousand indirect.
One of the constant concerns of this immense complex is with the environment and sustainability. CETREL was created to coordinate actions aimed at the treatment, final disposal of effluents, industrial waste and environmental monitoring.
The Pole is strategically located, with easy access to industries through the BA-093 and BA-535 (Via Parafuso) highways, railways, ports and airports. It is about 5 km from the City of Camaçari, 7 km from the City of Dias D'Ávila and 30 km from Salvador.
