| Summary: | The wastewater treatment is implemented worldwide using variety of systems to remove pollution because they are harmful to living beings. Therefore, the objective of this study was to construct and use a 90 liter rectangular biological reactor with aeration that contained PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles. Inside the reactor the surface of these bottles were used as means for the production of a biofilm to be later used for treatment of domestic wastewater. During the experiment, influent and effluent water was monitored. In order to evaluate the quality of the mechanism, the removal of the Biochemical Demand of Oxygen (DBO5) and Chemical Demand of Oxygen (DQO) were measured. The biochemical demand of oxygen was 97.7% and the chemical demand of oxygen was 97.6%. The average treatment time was 2.72 hours. |
