ABOUT IT
The main purpose of the “Água eu reuso” project (I Reuse Water, in a free translation) is to reduce water consumption água na when cleaning Unimar´s plant in the city of Santos. The project began in 2017, when the accumulation of rainwater in the roof gutters was first noticed. From that point onward, Unimar commissioned the development of a cistern coupled to the gutter system to capture rainwater.
The final system was installed, consisting of a cistern with a rotating capacity of 200 liters of water, with a self-cleaning filtering system. The system has been working without interruption for the last 5 years, with maintenance servicing and filter changes every six months.
The implementation of the project has been completed and the project will be maintained.
