Caylloma is a district that belongs to the Arequipa region, is located in southern Peru, at an average altitude of 4310 meters above sea level. Caylloma has an activated sludge plant with the capacity to treat up to 200 m3 / d, but given the population increase and low temperatures, bacterial activity is inhibited, which does not guarantee a significant reduction in organic load or bacterial load pathogenic. The research aims to optimize the operation of the domestic wastewater treatment plant. During the investigation, the evaluation, analysis and optimization of wastewater treatment was developed by adding Biocarriers to the two biological reactor tanks, which enabled the activated sludge system to be transformed into a “Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor” -MBBR system -, which consists of the increase of biomass in the reactor tanks, which allows a greater degradation of the organic matte...

Muestra la optimización del funcionamiento de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales de origen domésticas, propiedad de Aquafil. A lo largo de la investigación se desarrolló la evaluación, análisis y optimización del tratamiento de aguas residuales mediante el adicionamiento de Biocarriers a los dos tanques reactores biológicos existentes, lo cual posibilitará que el sistema de lodos activados actual se transforme en un sistema “Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor” -MBBR- y que fundamentalmente consiste en el aumento de la biomasa en los tanques reactores lo cual permite una mayor degradación de la materia orgánica presente, con el cual se llegar a obtener un incremento del 40% de la capacidad total de tratamiento de la planta que es la meta. Culminado el proceso de optimización actualmente se cuenta con una planta capaz de tratar un caudal promedio de 280 m3/d, lo cual cubr...
