Cuantificación del metano utilizando la técnica de actividad metanogénica específica en lodos provenientes de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales de Ucubamba

Abstract

The project focuses on quantifying methane production using the sludge from the Urubamba’s treatment plant wastewater. We adapted 6 reactors pilots, we monitored biogas’ generation through AME technical and we evaluated of the results obtained within the anaerobic system. These sludge have dehydration treatment prior to disposal for subsequent disposal in the landfill and the intention of this project is to exploit those sludge gettingbiogas. The method used is a volumetric method, it utilizes the technique AME (Specifies methanogen activity). This technique helps us to quantify the biogas generated through microbiological activity.the method to be used in the preparation of this project is a volumetric quantification method AME technique (specific methanogenic activity) is to use a chemical (caustic soda) to sequester CO2 and methane pass. From the results obtained we quantified effectively the biogas, in this manner, we have tested and verified compliance with our stated objective, we quantified effectively the gas generated within 6 reactors having results of technical AME in theREACTOR 1= 0.061Kg DQO/Kg SVT, REACTOR 3= 0.352Kg DQO/Kg SVT, REACTOR 5= 0.134Kg DQO/Kg SVT, REACTOR 2= 0.121Kg DQO/Kg SVT, REACTOR 4= 0.261Kg DQO/Kg SVT, REACTOR 6= 0.639Kg DQO/Kg SVT,this data is in the 55 day study , also the retention time of stabilization of the pH , the volume of methane and the reactor temperature for each favorable comparison.
