RESUMO

This work aimed to evaluate the performance of an up-flow fixed bed reactor, operated in a continuous way, using expanded clay and polyurethane foam as supports for immobilization of the biomass, for treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater. Initially, the reactor was operated under anaerobic and anaerobic-aerobic conditions for the treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater. However, the COD removal efficiency was related to adsorption and not to biodegradation processes. In this way, the operational periods were short due to solids retention in the system. In the second part of this work, trying to reduce the lipids and solids concentration in the reactors affluent, the wastewater was collected after a pre-treatment installed at the poultry slaughterhouse. This pre-treatment was constituted of a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system. As a result, the operational longevity of the reactor was increased and the COD and total nitrogen removal efficiencies were 90 + OU -4% and 44 + OU -10% respectively, and the denitrification efficiency was 89 + OU -6% under an anaerobic-aerobic condition with a recycle ratio of the liquid phase of 1,5. Therefore, the reactor showed a good performance in reducing the organic matter and removing nutrients simultaneously, since it is preceded by a pre-treatment for the partial removal of solids, oils and grease.
