Efficiency in the reduction of oil organic matter combining solar advanced oxidation processes and the biological reactor of a WWTP

Abstract

A review of historical data of the effluent of PDVSA’s WWTP was carried out in its research and development subsidiary in the City of Los Teques, Miranda State, during the period 2003-2014. It was sampled for six weeks to calculate the efficiency in the removal of COD, BOD5 and SST. The efficiency for COD was 86.51% and 72.94% in BOD5. The proportion of biological sludge and sour water treated with advanced oxidation processes (POA), necessary for the reduction of COD and BOD5, was determined. The best result obtained in it was 222 mg /L of COD and BOD5 32.15 mg /L, satisfying the national standard for discharge into natural bodies of water.
