Monitoreo de los parámetros fisicoquímicos en el tratamiento de aguas residuales y seguimiento a los residuos sólidos en una planta avícola para la producción de compost.

Abstract

The main objective of this work was to monitor the physicochemical parameters (pH, chlorides and COD) at three points of the wastewater treatment system of a poultry plant, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the process in the removal of contaminants. In addition, the management and use of the solid waste generated in this process, such as sewage sludge and poultry manure, was monitored. These residues are used in the production of compost through a controlled process that includes the incorporation of sawdust and dried mound as support materials, as well as the inoculation of efficient microorganisms (EM) such as: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus casei and Streptomyces spp., which favor the decomposition and stabilization of organic matter. The monitoring of the physicochemical parameters made it possible to analyze the treatment processes on the quality of the effluent and compare the results with the ranges established by Resolution 0631 of 2015, while the monitoring of solid waste treatment focused on improving the characteristics of the organic material, promoting its reuse in agricultural activities or as a soil amendment.
