Tecnologías no convencionales para el tratamiento de las aguas residuales en la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Aragón

Abstract

The Facultad Estudios Superiores Aragon is located in Nezahualcoyotl municipality, Mexico State, where water supply has always been a problem. In this campus, fresh water is still used for green areas irrigation, so that, it is necessary to build a wastewater treatment plant in order to get a sustainable management and recycle the water generated in the sanitary system. However, conventional technologies are not suitable because of its operational and maintenance high costs and qualified personnel. In this paper many non-conventional technologies are presented that might be suitable for Aragon’s wastewater treatment, taking to account the characteristics of wastewater, soil, climate, financial and technical resources, etc.
