Propuesta de diseño de un humedal artificial de flujo subsuperficial horizontal para el tratamiento de aguas residuales de la industria de lácteos San Antonio S.A.

Abstract

The proposal for the construction of a subsurface flow artificial wetland to treat the wastewater generated by the company Láctea San Antonio S.A. is presented as an effective and natural solution for treating effluents, since its design is combined with aquatic plants as filtering media that allow the retention of organic matter, pathogens, and nutrients from the wastewater, requiring simple and low-cost maintenance. In wastewater treatment, it is essential to incorporate efficient and low-cost technologies capable of meeting established standards, especially when their reuse is intended.
