Solid Waste Treatment Plant Conception at Viracopos International Airport

Concepcao Da Estacao De Tratamento De Lixo Do Aeroporto Internacional De Viracopos

The adequate handling of solid wastes in airport installations is an important public health concern that deals with potentially infectious wastes from endemic regions. In Brazil, INFRAERO is developing a program of inquiry and evaluation for more appropriate systems for the collection, treatment and final destination of solid wastes that are generated in its 63 airports operated in the country. This paper presents a case study of a conceptual work for a unit handling of the solid wastes developed for the International Airport of Viracopos, located in the city of Campinas, State of Sao Paulo (Brazil). The work was divided in two main stages: (1) the study of qualitative and quantitative characterization and the determination of the generation rates of solid wastes within the airport; and (2) the conception of reception, storage and treatment systems. The paper established a sector division of the airport and identified the specific generation rates for each sector, considering the characterization, as well as the projections of the generation of wastes in function of growth estimates of passengers and cargo in the Airport.
