O reator possuía um volume total de 5,65 m³ e volume útil de 4,75 m³, devido ao volume ocupado pelo material suporte. O meio suporte utilizado para fixação de microrganismos foi o dispositivo denominado Biobob®, que consiste em uma matriz de espuma de poliuretano envolta por uma estrutura de polipropileno, com geometria cilíndrica de 45 mm de diâmetro e 60 mm de altura. O reator foi operado com um Tempo de Detenção Hidráulica (TDH) de 12 horas, razão de recirculação de 2 vezes vazão de alimentação e foi alimentado continuamente por afluente composto por mistura de esgoto sanitário não tratado e efluente de Reator Anaeróbio de Leito Fluidizado (RALF) na proporção de 1:1 (v:v). Foram explorados três ciclos de operação de 180 minutos: (10) aerando continuamente por 180 minutos, (2) aerando 60 minutos e não aerando 120 minutos, e (3) aerando 120 minutos e não aerando 60 minutos. Os resultados mostraram não haver diferença estatística nas eficiências de reduções de Demanda Química Oxigênio (DQO) entre as três condições estudadas, com eficiências médias de 76,34%, 75,32% e 79,80%, respectivamente, indicando que o tempo de aeração não influenciou na eficiência de redução. A DQO efluente do reator variou entre 31 mg.L-1 e 206 mg.L-1. A eficiência de nitrificação se mostrou fator limitante na remoção de NT. As condições (1) e (3) com maiores taxas de nitrificação, 75% e 70% respectivamente, obtiveram as melhores eficiências de remoção de NT, com taxas de 65% em ambas. A relação DQO/NTK durante as 3 etapas da pesquisa foi próxima a 9,59. A condição (3) apresentou diferença estatística significativa na remoção de NT devido a maior disponibilidade de doadores de elétrons, com relação DQO/NTK de 11,2. A desnitrificação apresentou médias de remoções de 87%, 89% e 94%, nas condições 1, 2 e 3, respectivamente. Pelos resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que o reator piloto de leito empacotado e aeração intermitente foi eficiente na remoção simultânea de matéria orgânica e nitrogenada, podendo ser considerado uma alternativa interessante a ser utilizada no tratamento combinado de efluente de UASB e esgoto bruto. / The main objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of a pilot scale reactor of packed bed and continuous flow, on different aeration operating conditions, in the biological removal of carbonaceous and nitrogenous matter from sanitary effluent. The reactor has a total volume of 5.65 m³, and a useful volume of 4.75 m³ due to the volume occupied by the structured bed. The medium used to fix microorganisms was the device called Biobob®, which consists of a polyurethane foam matrix enveloped by a polypropylene structure, with a cylindrical geometry of 45 mm in diameter and 60 mm in height. The reactor was operated with a 12 hour Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT), recirculation rate of 2 times feed rate and was continuously fed by a mixture of untreated sewage and effluent from an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) in the proportion of 1:1 (v:v). Three 180-minute cycles of operation were performed: (1) continuous aeration for 180 minutes, (2) aeration 60 minutes and no aeration for 120 minutes and (3) aeration for 120 minutes and no aeration for 60 minutes. The results showed that there was no statistical difference in the efficiency of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) reductions between the three conditions studied, with mean efficiencies of 76.34%, 75.32% and 79.80%, respectively, indicating that the aeration did not influence the reduction efficiency. The COD concentrations effluent from the reactor varied between 31 mg.L-1 and 206 mg.L-1. The efficiency of nitrification was shown to be a limiting factor in NT removal. The conditions (1) and (3) with higher nitrification rates, 75% and 70%, respectively, obtained the best NT removal efficiencies, with rates of 65% in both. The COD / NTK ratio presented a high average during the 3 stages of the research, with an observed value of 9.59. Denitrification showed mean removals of 87% (1), 89% (2) and 94% (3). Condition (3) presented a statistically significant difference with the others due to the greater availability of electron donors, with a COD/NTK ratio of 11.2. From the results, we can conclude that the packed bed reactor and intermittent aeration is efficient in the simultaneous removal of organic matter and nitrogen and is an interesting alternative to be used in the treatment and post treatment of anaerobic reactors.

O reúso de água é um instrumento importante que contribui para a redução da pressão sobre os mananciais e para redução do consumo de água potável para fins que não requeiram água de padrão potável. Neste contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo principal analisar um sistema de coleta e tratamento de águas cinzas provenientes de pias de banheiro, chuveiros e máquina de lavar roupas tendo em vista o reúso não-potável em edificações. Os objetivos específicos foram: caracterizar qualitativamente e quantitativamente as frações de águas cinzas; operar e monitorar um sistema de tratamento de águas cinzas sintéticas em escala piloto e analisar o efluente após tratamento. A partir de uma edificação existente no campus da EACH/USP, adaptou-se a estrutura hidráulica de forma a permitir a segregação e coleta desta fração de águas residuárias para caracterização e tratamento. A instalação de hidrômetros nas tubulações de alimentação dos pontos de uso (máquina de lavar, chuveiros e lavatórios) possibilitou analisar a produção de águas cinzas individualizada. Para o tratamento em escala piloto, adotou-se um biorreator de leito móvel com biofilme (MBBR) seguido por decantador. A avaliação do sistema de tratamento foi realizada com base no monitoramento periódico dos parâmetros físico-químicos durante o período de operação do sistema. Com base nos resultados obtidos, dentre as três frações de águas cinzas, a do chuveiro foi a que apresentou maior concentração de E.coli, enquanto que a maior concentração de coliformes totais foi na água cinza de lavatórios. As eficiências de remoção de DBO e DQO foram de 59 por cento e 70 por cento respectivamente. Houve baixa remoção de fósforo e não houve remoção de Nitrogênio Total durante o tratamento. / Water reuse is an important tool that can contribute to the reduction of the pressures from human activities on water resources and to reduce the demand for potable water for purposes that do not require high quality water. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate a greywater collection and treatment system from lavatories, showers and washing machine aiming the non-potable reuse in buildings. The specific objectives were: to characterize in terms of quality and quantity the greywater from each source, to monitor a pilot system for synthetic greywater treatment and to analyze the quality of the effluent after treatment. In an existing building in the University of Sao Paulo campus, the wastewater collection drains were modified to allow the segregated wastewater collection and the greywater characterization and treatment. To evaluate the greywater generation three water flow meters were installed in water inlet of each greywater source (washing machine, showers and lavatories). The greywater treatment included a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) and a settling tank at pilot scale. The evaluation of greywater treatment was conducted based on the periodic monitoring of several physicochemical water quality parameters during the operation of the experimental system. Based on the results, amongst the three greywater sources, the greywater from showers had the highest E. coli count while the lavatories greywater had the highest total coliforms count. The removal efficiencies of BOD and COD were 59 per cent e 70 per cent respectively. In addition there was low removal of phosphorus and there was not Total Nitrogen Removal during the treatment.

Dans ce travail, le traitement des nutriments et plus particulièrement celui de l’azote en procédé de granulation aérobie a été étudié. L’approche expérimentale a dans un premier temps eu pour objet de comparer la stabilité des caractéristiques physiques et microbiologiques d’agrégats développés dans deux réacteurs fonctionnant en alternances de phases anaérobie / aérobie ou anoxie / aérobie. L’opération d’un procédé de granulation aérobie en alternance de phases anoxie / aérobie a favorisé la stabilisation des performances de traitement de l’azote et notamment celle de la nitrification. Le développement d’une boue hybride comprenant une fraction de flocs et de granules a été observé. Dans le but d’évaluer comment le caractère hybride de la boue obtenue en conditions anoxie/aérobie oriente les performances et vitesses de transformation de l’azote, une caractérisation ex-situ des limitations au transfert d’oxygène au sein des flocs, granules et boue hybride a été réalisée par respirométrie. En complément, la localisation des espèces nitrifiantes par la technique d’hybridation fluorescente in situ (FISH) a été réalisée. Les résultats obtenus indiquent que la présence de flocs au sein d’une boue granulaire permet d’augmenter la vitesse de la nitrification, en particulier pour de faibles concentrations en oxygène dissous. D’autre part, il est ici mis en évidence la nécessité de contrôler simultanément le ratio floc/granules et la taille des granules en vue de l’optimisation du traitement de l’azote.Enfin un outil mathématique permettant de décrire les phénomènes réactionnels ayant lieu au sein d’une biomasse hybride a été développé. Celui-ci a été employé dans le but d’optimiser le fonctionnement du procédé hybride par l’évaluation de l’effet des propriétés physiques de la biomasse, et plus particulièrement de la proportion de granules en présence, pouvant conduire à une élimination efficace de l’azote et à l’augmentation de la robustesse du procédé vis-à-vis de diminutions ponctuelles de l’oxygène dissous / In this work, the treatment of nutrients, especially that of nitrogen in aerobic granulation process was studied.The experimental approach has initially been intended to compare the stability and the physical and microbiological characteristics of aggregates developed in two reactors operating in alternating anaerobic / aerobic or anoxic / aerobic conditions. The presence of a pre-anoxic phase promoted the stabilization of nitrogen removal performances and especially those of nitrification. The development of a hybrid sludge process containing a fraction of flocs and granules was observed.In order to evaluate and quantify the influence of the simultaneous presence of flocs and granules in the nitrifying activity of the hybrid sludge developed in the alternating anoxic / aerobic conditions, the nitrification rate and oxygen limitation of flocs, granules and hybrid sludge was assessed using respirometric assays at different dissolved oxygen concentrations. The spatial distribution of nitrifying bacteria was investigated using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results indicated that the presence of flocs with granules could increase the rate of nitrification to transitory reductions of aeration. On the other hand, the optimization of nitrogen removal requires the simultaneous control of the floc to granule ratio and granule size.Finally, a mathematical model to describe the reaction phenomena taking place in the hybrid biomass was developed. It was used in order to optimize the operation of the hybrid process through the evaluation of the effect of physical properties of biomass, specifically the ratio of granules and flocs in the reactor that can lead to efficient removal of nitrogen and increase the robustness of the process
