Abstract
The instruments developed by the Clean Technology Network of Bahia (TECLIM) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) (cited in Part 1 of this paper) are presented. Factors regarding water management in industry were examined, on the basis of experience acquired over the period of a decade in cooperative research projects with large industrial process plants located mostly in the Camacari Petrochemical Complex, Bahia State, Brazil. The main results consist of training about 1700 industry professionals in CP, the identification of about 500 ideas for the rationalization of water use, the presentation and publication of 90 articles in journals, conferences and other academic events, identification of ideas with potential water savings estimated at around 1400 t·h–1 and the reduction of at least 500 t·h–1 in effluents. Other sectors that make use of water, for example public buildings, commercial buildings, homes, shopping centers and airports can adapt and use the TECLIM method as will be exemplified.

All kinds of data about the flow can be used whether they originate from measuring devices which are rarely calibrated, or estimates of the flow obtained by means of mass balance, effective spot measurements, project data, theoretical estimates, simulation or even information collected in the unit through interviews with the operators
Summary
As cited by Kiperstok et al (Part 1) [1], during the course of cooperative projects with industry, the Clean Technology Network (TECLIM) has developed a method for the optimization of water use in industries. This method is based on CP principles and is composed of some of its own instruments and others adapted from literature [2,3,4,5]: I1. Auditing of the sources that give rise to the effluxents These instruments are described considering their respective goals and results
