The increase in population worsens the quality of existing receiving bodies, because the concentration of sewage dumps with high organic and nitrogen loads. There are numerous processing operations, however, the application of biological processes, in most cases is the most economical alternative. Thus, this study aims to optimize the removal of carbonaceous and nitrogenous matter sanitary sewer system consists of a combined anaerobic and aerobic fixed bed reactor. The system was composed of anaerobic and aerobic fixed-bed reactors, with upward flow and continuous flow, rectangular base and useful volume of 19.8 L and 19.3 L, respectively, plus a solid liquid separation device with a volume of 7 3 L (HDT 8 h in each reactor) and 9.8 L (HDT ...
