Treatability Study in Effluents

This is one of the most successful and in-demand studies at Genetica Bioscience.

The challenge of finding a study that gathers information to:

  • Reduce energy and chemical consumption
  • Compare the maximum possible conversion for the effluent with the current operating conditions of the system
  • Confidently adjust operating parameters to increase efficiency in existing systems
  • Use the study to design WWTPs with safety, minimizing errors

The treatability study by Genetica Bioscience analyzes in a simple and straightforward manner:

  • Maximum anaerobic digestion of COD and BOD in the effluent under test
  • Maximum aerobic digestion of COD, BOD, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus in the effluent under test
  • Best physicochemical reaction of the effluent under test
  • Toxicity to effluent components
Physicochemical Test:

A fairly conventional treatability study involves the physicochemical treatment of effluents, used to remove pollutants that cannot be removed by conventional biological processes. This type of treatment is also used to reduce organic load before biological treatment.

In the images below, you can see different tests conducted for the decantation of organic load with different dosages of coagulant and polymer. Subsequent analyses determine which chemical dosage was most efficient in reducing parameters such as COD, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and others.



Immediate response through physical, physicochemical, and biological operations (aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative).

Below is an example of this study, with tests performed for maximum anaerobic degradation:


Based on the experimental data, the BMP values of the effluents were calculated:


The graph below shows the cumulative normal volumes of biogas for the residues during the anaerobic digestion period:
