RESUMO

The present study the treatment of the waste waters of a beer and soft drink industry by an aerobic biological system was evaluated. The removal of the organic load by means of the quantification of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total ammoniacal nitrogen, turbidity, sedimented solids (SS), phosphorus (P), conductivity and toxicity. Were determined proposed the consisted of four reactors in series with a total volume of 16 L. The feeding was carried out carried out continuous by through the of the bioreactor inferior part and by gravity. Expanded clay was used as support for the immobilization of the microorganisms in the reactors. Continuous aeration by means of ascending injection of oxygen was used for the aerobic system. The analyses were performed daily in samples from the treated and untreated industrial effluent using different times of hydraulical retention (HRT/h). The results showed that the treatment system, using 4 connected reactors was efficient for the removal of the pollutant organic load of the industrys effluent. Reduction of the COD occurred in all the tested hydraulical retention times used HRT of 1.9 was found to be the most efficient HRT, since it was the time with the hioghest outflow, fact that is of extreme importance for the treatment of industrial effluents. In this HRT there was a greater percentage of reduction of the BOD (67.4%), the toxicity with the Daphinia similis (52.3%) and conductivity (13.13%), besides the significant reduction of the COD (58.7%).
