Implementación de un prototipo de planta de fito rremediación de aguas residuales en la industria láctea San Sebastián.

Abstract

The study of this project was the development of a prototype of a wastewater phytoremediation plant in the San Sebastian dairy industry to decontaminate the industry's wastewater as well as the characterization of the dairy industry effluent. The methodology that was done had a qualitative and quantitative approach, where a prototype was designed for the treatment of wastewater, the Lazaros Lagos matrix was also used to identify environmental impacts, the pH of the serum was measured to analyze the physical and chemical parameters of the wastewater, the plant species were selected for the treatment of wastewater according to their phytoremediation characteristics. The characterization of the physical and chemical parameters was done using the INEN regulations. Using this methodology it was possible to determine that the San Sebastian dairy factory did not have prior wastewater treatment, with the Lazaros Lagos matrix it was possible to determine that the cheese industry generated more pollution from negative aspects than positive ones. In this context, it was concluded that the factory did not have adequate wastewater management, and that the wastewater contamination values were high before phytoremediation. The implementation of a quality system was recommended to control the product and its wastewater to avoid legal problems.
