ABSTRACT
The water should become, over the century, a natural resource so important and disputed point of view of economic, social, environmental and political, in the same way that coal and oil occupied the scenario in the global economy, social and policy over the past 150 years. In Brazil, offshore oil production requires the continuous training of personnel in fighting fires in oil installations. Training Center, an object of this work, annually trains over 7,000 people generating hence a high intake of water. In the past this water came from a nature reserve and is now reusing, using simplified technology reduces the demand on these water sources is aimed at combating waste. This study evaluated a critical processes for reuse in general and more specifically in the Training Center Fire Fighting training consumes considered where the volume of water as the extinguishing agent. Thus, it is critical thinking and practice water reuse. This brings major duty of the need to save, reduce, recycle and reuse to develop processes that are not going against the grain of society, ie they are based on the precautionary principle, considering the possibility of occurrences of contamination from a chemical and microbiological present in the effluents.
