Rediseño de una planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales industriales de productos de limpieza

Abstract

This project aims to redesign an industrial wastewater treatment plant for the cleaning products industry, focusing on improving the treatment of effluents with high organic load and surfactants, which present significant challenges for industry. The proposed solution involves a physicochemical process using coagulation and flocculation, tailored to the specific characteristics of wastewater. The materials and techniques employed include the selection of coagulants, flocculants, and pH adjustment to optimize the removal of contaminants. The results show significant improvements in turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and oil and grease reduction, surpassing initial values and complying with current environmental regulations. The conclusions highlight the effectiveness of the proposed design and its economic feasibility, making it a sustainable option for the industry. Keywords: Industrial wastewater treatment, coagulation, flocculation, cleaning products industry, effluent treatment.
