the construction of its second fluvial mobile unit, named
SAMAÚMA II, which will be an example of sustainable use
of natural resources to be followed by local population.
The boat-school will bring innovative technologies
and practices, both in its physical infrastructure and
educational environments and in its operation. In
order to do this, the systems and equipment of
the boat-school will be selected considering the
requirements of sustainability, efficiency and
applicability to local realities. SAMAÚMA II will be
the first high performance technical and vocational
education unit. Among these systems and equipment,
SAMAÚMA II will have a Wastewater Treatment Station
to manage all waste generated in the boat. An ideal
effluent treatment solution for SAMAÚMA II should
be compact and highly efficient, producing waste
that is not harmful to the environment, and must
be constructed to be used as a teaching resource
for students of the courses SAMAÚMA II will offer.
Thus, this project represents an opportunity for SE-
NAI to lead Brazilian industry to cutting-edge environmentally
friendly technologies and incorporate them
in its technical and vocational education courses. This
project will contribute to the spread of sustainable
technical and vocational education practices, civic
values and environmental responsibility to the Amazon
riverine people.
In this sense, SENAI, whose history of cooperation
in technological areas with German partners is very
successful, envisioned the possibility of developing this
ideal wastewater treatment solution for SAMAÚMA II
in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, which is
an international partner of SENAI and has recognized
expertise in the area. Its Institute for Sanitary
Engineering, Water Quality and Waste Management
(ISWA) is currently one of the most important
European centers in the area of wastewater treatment,
supply and management of water quality,
solid waste management and development of
biological technologies for cleaning environment.
