RESUMO

Increasing scarcity of freshwater due to demographic growing, urbanization and, climate changing are the reason of increasing use of the wastewater in agriculture. Nowadays, this practice is a reality, mainly in São Paulo in the southeast areas, where the conflicts caused by multiples use of water are constant. Based on this situation, the aiming of this investigation was to evaluate wastewater conditioning, from a system composed by anaerobic filters and post - treated by sand filters (0,75m height) with high daily application rates which varied from 300 to 800 L m-2, agriculture reuses and/or discharging into receiving waters. An organic matter removing of 90% in terms of COD, BOD and DOC was observed in sand filters effluent in all application rates which were studied. Results have shown that the limitation parameter to use application rates over 700 L m-2 was the ammonium nitrogen concentration which are produced by sand filters and were over 20 mg L-1, forcing to implant a superior aeration system. Calcium hypochlorite dose, used to make the effluent appropriate according to the law, was 3,25 mg L-1 with a contact time of 45 minutes and the final effluent classification to use it in agriculture was C3S1, which is suitable to be used with a moderate degree of restriction. As the results were satisfactory, higher application hydraulic rates in sand filters are proved to be possible
