Among the main impacts on effluent generation in 2016 are the quality of the abstracted water, the influence of the summer temperature in some regions, operational problems, and
shutdowns for maintenance. On the other hand, positive actions were implemented, such as increasing the concentration cycle in cooling towers, optimizing operating procedures
with consequent reuse of water currents and reduced losses.View entire presentation
