Abstract

The volume of fresh water available for human use has drastically reduced, due to the significant population growth, intensification of use combined with the effective increase in pollution and the degradation of water bodies that still exist [1]. Water resource management becomes more sustainable the greater the use of wastewater. This behavior will contribute to increase the potential of drinking water, essential to the basic needs of human beings and to significantly reduce the release of effluents into water bodies, triggering as an advantage the reduction of pollutants in the environment and consequent protection of ecosystems Monte and Albuquerque [2]. According to Ortiz & Pinheiro [3], sewage is a combination of domestic effluents, industrial waste, effluents from commercial and institutional establishments, as well as agricultural effluents. The treatment of effluents generates two by-products, namely sludge and treated wastewater.
