RESUMO

An anaerobic reactor (UASB – Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) coupled to a filtration unit for the treatment of domestic sewage was developed and studied. The study began by operating the UASB reactor for 642 days, during which time the influent and effluent liquid phase were monitored. The filtration unit was then coupled to the UASB reactor and the filtration characteristics, the performance of the treatment, and the efficiency of the cleaning process of three polymeric filters were evaluated. The polymeric materials used for the filters were polypropylene, polyester and geosynthetic polyester, all with an average pore size of one micron (1μm). The filtration characteristics evaluated were the permeate flux and the fouling mechanisms (total filtration resistance of the material and the cake, and clogging) during filtration. The system’s overall performance was evaluated in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and removal of total suspended solids (TSS). The filters were cleaned chemically, first with an acid solution (HCl), followed by alkaline solutions (NaOH and NaOCl) applied in series. A comparison of the three filtering materials indicated that the geosynthetic material (polyester) possessed the best overall characteristics of filtration and performance. In other words, i.e., cake resistance (reversible fouling) predominated with this material, the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) in the permeate stabilized at 25 mg/L, and the overall removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was 78%. Of the various chemical cleaning procedures tested on the three polymeric filters, the acid (HCl) and alkaline solutions (NaOH and NaOCl) applied in series provided more efficient flux recovery (over 90% of the initial permeate) than chemical cleaning only with acid (HCl).
