Efluentes regenerados y aprovechamiento energético de fangos deshidratados por Geotubos en depuradoras de aguas residuales.

Abstract

This investigative study examines and analyzes the regenerated effluents and energy utilization of dehydrated sludge through geotubes in wastewater treatment plants. The aim is to address socio-environmental issues in the Lower Guayas Basin. The focus of this work is on the municipal and parish heads of different provinces within Guayas, with the intention that the collected construction material be used in the same municipal and parish areas. To achieve the objectives of this study, a literature review was conducted to gather information on the use of geotubes for wastewater treatment and the subsequent reuse of byproducts. Following the methodological process, graphical representations were developed to illustrate the complementary regeneration system for wastewater produced in the Lower Guayas Basin, highlighting the process and regeneration of dehydrated wastewater and sludge. Through a granulometric study, the transitional material at the bottom of the complementary regenerative pool, integral to the complementary regeneration system, was examined. This sustainable proposal is viable as it reuses residual sludge from the fluvial emissary of the existing stabilization lagoon, achieving regeneration and obtaining clean and sustainable energy.
