S2  Bioengenharia e Qualidade de Vida    Titulo: CONCEPTION OF A PROJECT OF UNIT FOR PROCESSING DOMESTIC SOLID RESIDUES, DESTINED TO SMALL MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS   Resumo : ABSTRACT: HUMAN NEEDS ALONG WITH THE INDUSTRIAL AND POPULATIONAL GROWTH, HAVE COME, THROUGH THE YEARS, REDUCE THE QUALITY OF MAN´S LIFE. AMONG THE FACTORS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THIS REDUCTION IS INADEQUATE DISPOSAL OF SOLID RESIDUES IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT. DUE THIS SITUATION, DESIGNS APPEAR, IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD IN AN ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE THE PROBLEMS GENERATED BY SUCH PRACTICE. WITHIN THIS CONTEXT, PROCESSING UNITS OF SOLID URBAN RESIDUES STAND OUT THE MOST. IN BRAZIL, SUCH DESIGNS WERE, INITIALLY, IMPLANTED WITH PROJECTS ORIGINATED IN INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES, WITH RESIDUE FEATURES VERY DIFFERENT FROM OURS. AS RESULTS, SEVERAL OF THOSE DESIGNS DID NOT EVEN BEGIN TO OPERATE; OTHERS ARE NOW PARALYZED; OTHERS OPERATE WITH LOW EFFICIENCY. IN VIEW OF THIS SITUATION, THE PRESENT WORK HAS AS ITS MAIN OBJECTIVE TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF SOLID URBAN RESIDUES, CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH PROJECTS, PRESENTING A MORE REALISTIC PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR THE SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THIS COUNTRY. THEREFORE, SAME DESIGN TOOLS ARE SOUGHT THAT GIVE SUPPORT TO DECISION WAKING AND THAT THEY EVENTUALLY AID IN CONCEIVING A MODEL OF UNITS FOR PROCESSING SOLID DOMESTIC RESIDUES IN MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS WITH UP TO 30,000 INHABITANTS. KEY-WORDS: DESIGN, SELECTION, GARBAGE, ENVIRONMENT.     Autores : Back, Nelson 0 Maribondo, Juscelino de Farias Oliveira, Natanael Victor de Pereira Neto, João Tinoco     Trabalho Completo :   COBEM99 | Comissão  Organizadora | Palestras | Sessões Técnicas | Autor | Simpósios e Sessões Especiais | Revisores |  Título  dos  Trabalhos | Local
