Evaluación de la eficiencia de un reactor anaeróbico de flujo ascendente y manto de lodos UASB para el tratamiento de aguas residuales - escala laboratorio

摘要

All human activity produces wastewater, which is characterized by elevated concentrations of suspended solids, organic matter, nutrients and pathogens. The uncontrolled disposal of these wasters is potentially disastrous to the surrounding environment, ecosystems and the public health of the neighbouring communities. This investigation is based on the need to establish an adequate biological process for the treatment of wastewater with high concentrations of organic matter. The maximum specific activity of various sludge and aquatic sediments were tested by means of batch experiments in order to establish the necessary parameters for the posterior application of the microbial inocula in a continuous process.
