Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de biorreactor para determinación de coeficientes cinéticos de tratamiento de agua residual para el laboratorio de tratamiento de aguas de la Universidad Santo Tomás - sede Bogotá

Abstract

Non-domestic wastewater requires specific treatments for the components and emerging pollutants that characterize it by the industrial activity developed. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the type of appropriate treatment for each type of shedding, helping to reduce the impact they generate on the recipient body. To establish the treatment according to the composition, it is necessary to understand the behavior of the microorganisms in said treatment processes by means of the determination of the kinetic coefficients using the Lineweaver - Burk method and the experimental methodology, simulating the real conditions in a scale plant. industrial, through a test bench scale reactor that will be the basis for the designs of full-scale reactors that develop effective treatments for the removal of pollutants through the treatment of activated sludge. The prototype reactor will be put into operation in the water treatment laboratory of the Universidad Santo Tomás headquarters in Bogotá.
