The industrial effluents of the Camaçari petrochemical complex are collected and conveyed to a centralized secondary wastewater treatment plant operated by Cetrel. In the activated sludge recirculation process, expensive maintenance was needed for the Archimedean screw pumps. Cetrel decided to replace them by more cost-effective and efficient pumps.

The paper mill includes a conventional wastewater treatment plant which treats about 20'000 m³ per day of process effluents. At the output of the plant, about 30% of the discharge water is reintroduced into the mill circuit and the remaining 70% is returned to the Moselle river. Despite the increasing stringency on the quality of the discharge water, no environmental incident has occurred since the start-up of the plant.
