Influência do Efluente Gerado por uma Termoelétrica Lançado em um Corpo D’Água – Estudo de Caso na UTE Manauara – Manaus/AM

Abstract

Thermal energy is crucial for the development of the Northern region but presents environmental impacts due to its generation process. This study analyzes the influence of effluents generated by the Manauara Thermoelectric Plant in a water body, assessing effluent quality before and after the transition from heavy fuel oil to natural gas. Environmental monitoring considered parameters such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), comparing them with the standards established by CONAMA 430/2011. The study also discusses the importance of environmental management and continuous monitoring in minimizing environmental impacts​
