Description
Summary:In order to improve the effluent from domestic sewage treatment through an anaerobic process in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB), CETESB - The Environmental Protection Agency for Sao Paulo State, and FILSAN - Equipamentos e Sistemas S/A, developed a joint program to study the effectiveness of ozonation of the effluent as a post-treatment process. As the effluents treated by this system could contain toxic chemicals, Daphnia similis toxicity tests were applied. Two ozonation conditions were evaluated: (1) contact time of 30 min, mean ozone application dosage of 15.9 mg/L; (2) contact time of 50 min, mean ozone application of 16.7 mg/L. Toxicity reduction occurred for all samples but one. The ozonation system eliminated the residual toxicity associated with the effluent treated by the UASB reactor.
