BRAZIL NAVY ANTARCTICA – COMANDANTE FERRAZ ISLAND RESEARCH CAMP OZOTECH Simpson Servicing the environment since 1959
Brazil Navy ComandanteFerrazReseach Camp The Comandante Ferraz Brazilian Antarctic Base is a permanent Antartica research station named after the Brazilian Navy Commander Luis Antonios de Carvalho Ferraz, who visited Antartica many times with the British exploration team and managed to convince his government to create a self-guided Brazilian Antartica programs. Located in Admiralty Bay, King George Island near the tip of the Antartic Peninsula, 130 km from South American continent,the station began operating on 6 February 1984, brought to Antartica in modules by oceanographic ships. It now houses about 60 people, including researchers, technicians and staff, military and civilians.

Two soldiers, originally reported as missing by the Brazilian navy, were found dead in the debris of the station after the fire, while a third one sustained non-life threatening injuries. The Brazilian government estimates that it will take about two years to rebuild the base. 32
Why the Brazil Navy selected the SIMPOD ? • The systems are pre-engineered into containerized packages that aredelivered worldwide for quick andeasy “plug and play” installation. • SIMPOD provides unique advantages for end user customers. Pre-engineered plants bring production line efficiencies and quality control into the fabrication of wastewater plants. • Reduce the significant overhead cost associated with customized engineering services on conventional plants. • The time from start to finish is significantly shortened against conventional design processes allowing expedited delivery of solutions. • The containerized solutions provide easy scalability and modularity for wastewater plants so that they can be sized appropriately for different application. • The physical chemical processes that the plant relies on are easier to maintain and less sensitive to upsets than biologically based treatments. Footprints are smaller and recovery from upset is measured in hours instead of weeks providing a more reliable service. • With standardized treatment components the SIMPOD plant can easily be adapted for a variety of industrial effluents or different quality discharge limits for BOD5 and TSS. In addition, plants can be supported by a variety of electrical power inputs including solar power. • Cost
