Study of the implementation of SPDA (Air Discharge Protection System in a school in Manaus city - AM

Brazil is a country with high incidences of atmospheric discharges and during the year, several people are killed by these discharges. The main known discharge protection measure is the SPDA (Atmospheric Discharge Protection System). In this sense, this work proposes to present the measurements of SPDA (System of Protection Against Atmospheric Discharges) in a school located in the city of Manaus and its role for local security, by measuring the variables of an SPDA system, demonstration of the technical conditions of the SPDA and arguments that point out the relevance of the correct procedure for the realization of this process and importance of spda. For this, bibliographic research and on-site field study of the entire spda installation process was carried out in the buildings, multi-sport court and school water box. According to the studies conducted, it was observed that as measurements of ohmic resistances measured were low, very close to 0 ohms. The stress measures were collected, which were also low. The INSTALLED SPDA went to the Cage of Faraday and Franklin. For the school under study, the implanted SPDA obeyed all the standards that regulate it. The college is an environment frequented by many people of different age groups, the installation of spda implanted and sized ensures the protection of heritage, as well as safety and protection to life, because in case of an atmospheric discharge, there is a system who will receive it and lead it there is a path designed for it. If there were no, the building would be fully exposed to this risk and so would people. Therefore, even if spda does not guarantee absolute protection, the protection range it meets is representative, thus ensuring in a certain way the safety of people and protection of building and people. It was also found that the maintenance of the SPDA should be done annually from the start date of the technical report, to ensure the effectiveness of the system.

Feasibility of Frying Oil After Treatment by a Biofuel Company in Manaus - Amazonas

Waste generation has increased in many sectors given the demand and population growth. Reverse logistics comes to contribute to the return of these wastes to the production chain. In this context, frying oil is one of the most processed waste and transformed into new products, such as: biofuel, boiler fuel, soap manufacturing, concrete formwork release agent etc. Oil is one of the wastes whose recycling only happens by law, because it has low added value, unlike plastic, aluminum and copper, whose values ​​are higher. The average oil consumption in Brazil reaches 3 billion liters per year, but only 2.5% of this total is recycled, the others are discarded in the wild. The aim of this study is to analyze Reverse Logistics at different points, seeking to describe the chain steps, from the final consumer, through the PEV and ending in the companies that will reuse the frying oil already treated. In Manaus, the logistics of frying oil is done by cooperatives and private companies, being MASSEG, the largest company in the segment. This research has an explanatory character, approaching a case study, which made it possible to observe the financial and environmental feasibility of reverse logistics for the collection of frying oil, carried out at Condomínio Shopping Manauara Center, in the city of Manaus, AM. To reverse this scenario, many companies are investing in the reverse logistics process. Procedures such as leaving drums empty so that they are filled with waste oil, separation of solid waste and water from oil, are already part of the routine of tenants that also contribute to non contamination of water bodies. The collection, transportation, filtering, decantation and commercialization of the product already treated, for fuel purposes, is performed by the company itself. Finally, the company uses part of the treated oil to manufacture biodiesel, applied to the consumption of its own fleet, with no commercialization of the generated biodiesel. Thus there is a reduction in the use and costs with usual fuels (fossils), seeking to add the culture of sustainability.

Degrees of Risk of Environmental Impacts Arising from Irregular Occupations in the Northern Zone of Manaus - Amazonas

The disordered urban growth in the city of Manaus has had serious consequences for the environment in recent years, especially towards the northern part of the city. It is extremely important to verify the environmental impacts caused by this situation, in order to define the priority areas for planning and recovery actions of the areas. Sixteen areas were identified during the study, which were divided into four quadrants to define their risk levels. The risk levels were I - low, II - medium, III - high and IV - very high. The first criterion for dividing the areas in the quadrants was to identify similar characteristics between them and the second, the proximity of the areas, considering, therefore, the size of the area, as well as the loss of vegetation cover, the state of the soil and the existence and quality of the areas. water resources near the occupied areas. It was found that the presence of streams is a decisive factor to increase the environmental risk of a occupied area, in which anthropic actions intensify natural processes. Another factor considered is related to the degree of erosive processes, therefore, the occurrence of gullies and ravines accounted for the increased risk. After accounting for recorded impacts, quadrant B, located in the Cidade de Deus neighborhood, has a high environmental risk, while quadrants C and D have medium risk. These three quadrants have streams in their areas, however, quadrant A, which has no water body, has a low degree of risk, although three of its four areas have gullies. From this analysis, it is possible to define mitigation and impact containment measures, allowing natural resources to be preserved for the well-being of everyone today and for years to come.
