Analysis and efficiency of an affordable in-house anaerobic digester for water treatment

The present research aims to analyze to evaluate the efficiency of removal of the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of an affordable in-house anaerobic digester for water treatment. The biodigester is a system whose operation is given by means of anaerobic digestions and removal of the different parameters of the residual water. The digester was implemented and installed in a 600 L capacity tank with continuous flow. The research is quantitative with a pre experimental design, pre and post-test. Technique for data collection was based on experimental observation. Data was collected and analyzed over 90 days. Python was used as a tool for data processing and analysis. The average efficiency of the digester was over 97% for the primary treatment of domestic wastewater, which presents evidence of being a viable and sustainable alternative to minimize environmental impacts (water, air and soil) and contribute to the collective health of the population.
