Electrocoagulación para tratamiento de aguas residuales en el hato porcino de la ESPAM MFL

The research presented here focuses on the evaluation of electrocoagulation as a method for clarification of wastewater from the pig herd of the Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí Manuel Félix López. The objective is to reduce the contamination present in this wastewater by implementing an electrocoagulation system consisting of a current converter, a 20-liter glass tank and two series of electrodes composed of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). These electrodes are subjected to currents of 7 A and 15 A for estimated periods of 30 and 120 minutes, respectively. The results obtained indicate that the most efficient system for the elimination of turbidity and color was the one that used aluminum electrodes for 120 minutes, achieving a removal of 96% for both parameters and reaching a final pH of 7.6. From an economic perspective, it was determined that the initial investment in this technology amounted to US$460.91. However, given that the treatment was carried out for 12 days, with a daily duration of 120 minutes and using a 20-liter sample, the cost of electrical energy was not prohibitively high in this specific context. The economic analysis establishes that the energy cost per cubic meter of treated wastewater was USD 2.40, which supports the economic feasibility of this technology in this specific application.
