    Estudio de un filtro biológico para el control de efluentes generados en una quesera en la parroquia Mulaló - cantón Latacunga, a base de piedra caliza, canutillos de cerámica, zeolita y carbón activado granular de cáscara de coco

    The present experimental project aims to evaluate the efficiency of the filtering materials proposed in the research. The method applied in the creation of the biological filter formed of limestone, ceramic beads, zeolite and activated carbon of coconut’s shell, is based on the aeration process by means of multi-tray aerators. The experiment has two stages, with a total of 73 days of operation. The first stage was calibration, for the increase of bed height when comparing the residual water and once the liquid is filtered, on the other hand the second stage is to operate and to determine both the efficiency and the useful life of the materials. The structure of the filter is metallic, with a height of 2 meters. It has five cavities, in which the containers containing the filtering materials rest, four of five containers have 13 perforations to induce a drip. The first container located at the top contains the effluent to be treated, from the second to the fourth will be formed by the filtering materials; Limestone and ceramic beads (vessel 2), granular activated carbon (vessel 3), zeolite (vessel 4), finally the treated liquid is deposited in the last vessel. The parameters were analyzed, believing it necessary; Oils and Fats, BOD, COD, ST, SST, TC and pH.
