With investments of around R$ 14.7 billion, Suzano’s factory will have the capacity to produce 2.55 Mt/year of pulp in a single line!

Veolia Water Technologies won the bid for the construction of the effluent treatment station at the new factory that Suzano is building in Ribas do Rio Pardo. Suzano is a Brazilian group focused on the production of Paper and Pulp. It is the world’s largest producer of Eucalyptus Pulp and one of the top 10 market pulp producers.

This new project by Suzano is scheduled to start in the second half of 2024. The project will have the capacity to produce 2.55 Mt/year of Bleached Eucalyptus Pulp, in a single line. The industrial investment will be around R$ 14.7 billion.

Veolia Water Technologies will treat the liquid effluents generated to meet the stringent local legislation.

The treatment will consist of four phases, as follows:

Primary Treatment
Secondary Treatment (MBBR + Activated Sludge)
Sludge Dehydration
Inorganic Treatment

With the challenge of providing a reliable and competitive technology, as the startup/operation of the factory directly depends on the perfect performance of the ETE, VWT will utilize BAS technology, which comprises a biological process made up of two phases, MBBR + Activated Sludge. With multiple references in operation, this technology offers: high reliability, lower civil construction costs, and proven efficiency.

The treatment capacity is 8,050 m3/h (process flow).

The treatment will consist of four phases, as follows:

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

The new generation of the Jeep Renegade targets SUV consumers below US$30,000 (R$150,000), a price range for intermediate versions of the T-Cross and Nivus in Brazil. The model was discontinued in the US in 2023, according to MoparInsiders.

Unprecedented technology from Australian scientists allows visualizing hidden flaws inside active chips with T-rays without disassembling devices, and this advance could accelerate the creation of faster and safer electronics.

A silent finding in Guaíba sounded the alarm for science and placed Porto Alegre at the center of a worrying investigation: dangerous bacteria defies 14 antibiotics, intrigues UFRGS researchers, appears on the capital’s beaches, and raises suspicions about hospital waste in the sewage.

Anvisa raises an alert in Brazil by prohibiting unregistered cannabis-based products and exposes the risk behind online sales.

A Russian ship that mysteriously sank near the coast of Spain was transporting nuclear reactor components destined for North Korea, and a CNN investigation suggests that the explosion may have been caused by a torpedo launched by Western forces in an unprecedented military operation.

The end of the brick: a new wall system makes construction faster and significantly reduces site waste by cutting material losses from 25% to less than 5% and erecting pre-built walls in just 24 hours without breakage or excessive rubble.

A mason couldn’t resist, creating a staircase likened to a work of art, featuring a pleated reinforced concrete structure, millimeter-precise formwork, steel reinforcement, and eucalyptus shoring, which transformed a simple inter-floor access into an impressive highlight of the house.

A cheap system mixes chicken wire and mortar to build super resistant round houses with half the material, walls of only 3 cm, high resistance against corrosion, and curved structures inspired by the technique created by engineer Pier Luigi Nervi.

An R$ 330 million dam in Spain has been ready since 2015, stores up to 30 hm³ of water, but remains without agricultural use because no one built the necessary channels to bring water to the fields.

A one-kilometer bridge is almost ready to connect North Korea and Russia, built in about a year after an agreement between Putin and Kim Jong Un. It can handle 300 vehicles per day and cost more than US$ 120 million, according to Russian state media.
