    This thesis proposes an improvement of the internal operational process of the industrial water waste transfer and treatment facility by comparing costs associated with the existing process with the costs associated with an equipment implementation for improving such process to reduce operating costs and adds value. For this purpose, historical and current data base of the process, technical documents of the company, information from contractors and internal programs/software of the company including production information, forecasting and economic rates were taken into consideration. Interviews with engineers, operators and assistants with operational experience and from other areas of the company were conducted for gathering the pertinent data. Based on results obtained from data analysis, it was possible to identify the long-term impact of this process on operating costs as well as the opportunity to optimize the process by identifying positive impacts on the strategic objectives of the company and thus, generate greater synergies between the personnel of several areas and disciplines through collaborative work. Key words: industrial water treatment plants, water, oily water, decantation, sludge, centrifugation, cost optimization.
