Abstract

In this article, the design and implementation of an industrial plant for the treatment of effluents generated in the production process of a tannery was developed in order to achieve its treatment and reuse in the activities of the company. Currently there are no major advances regarding the management of their effluents, being these directly disposed to the sewage system which has caused the breach of the environmental regulations in force in the country, causing a negative impact on the environment, in addition, it has been wasted the potential of reusing them within their processes. Due to this, it was decided to develop a technical study that allows to implement the proposed treatment plant according to the needs of the company. The treatment system is divided into three units, the first one for Pre-treatment of the effluents, the second one for the physical-chemical treatment and the last one for the conditioning of sludge.
