Análisis de la fibra de coco como material filtrante en el tratamiento de aguas residuales provenientes de la lavadora y lubricadora de autos “Izurieta” ubicada en el cantón Cevallos provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The pilot project was carried out several chemical physical analysis of residual water from the Lubricator and washing of cars "Izurieta" Located in the canton Cevallos Province of Tungurahua, was carried out before and after filtration process. "The parameters considered in the analysis are DBO5, DQO, oils and greases. For the development of the experiment, was the filter from the organic material obtained from coconut fiber, which was carved, cut into small parts of 1 - 2 cm, and was later dried for 3 weeks. The filter has been running for 90 days, sampling was carried out every 10 days, which were analyzed in a specialized laboratory and with the standard technique Ecuadorian INEN. In the first week a full analysis was performed before and after the process of filtration and later 8 later analysis. The efficiency of the filter will be reflected in the results of analyses performed before the filtration process, compared with the first analysis and the latter performed at 90 days of operation of the filter check that the useful life of the filter is more durable. As a final conclusion I can indicate that "coconut fiber" experimental filter decreases values of DBO5, DQO, oils and gauzes checking that the value is within the limits of download to the public sewerage system.
