Diagnóstico hídrico em usinas de açúcar e álcool por balanço.

Abstract

This work is presented with the objective to search the development and adjustment of a methodology that if shows adequate for the available water in the sector of sugar and alcohol, pointing values of captation and water consumption in the diverse sectors. Emphasizing with this the importance of the water availability, if its I reuse and rocking for the sugar production and alcohol, since the resource in question comes if becoming each scarcer time and of worse quality. The determination of outflows through calculations with the use of volume of equipment or systems, beyond the time control, where the same ones make use of the water, had been the main ways to reach the results of this work. It is distinguished in the results, the great consumption of water for the promotion of diverse cooling inside of all the process of sugar production and alcohol, beyond the use in the fermentation specifically in the alcohol production. Importance of this work is pointed it, therefore it opens way the future research related to the available water in the sugar industry and alcohol and points values of consumption of water with respect to a sugar plant and alcohol with average milling of 17.000 tons per day of sugar cane.
