In this study, the development of models for the design of an anaerobic upflow filters separated into two and three phases are presented, DI-FAFS and TRI-FAFS. Both reactors have been evaluated in the COD removal performance on a total of 54 tests. The experimentalfactors are the volumetric organic load, the temperature and the depth relationship between two consective phases. The conceptual modelis based on equations derived from a mass balance under stationary conditions dS/dt = 0 and advectives dS/dZ ≠ 0; eight equationsapplicable to the DI-FAFS and TRI-FAFS reactors; four equations for each reactor.The equations to obtain the parameters of degradationof organic matter were compared with bibliographic references. Two models were selected and proposed, after adjusted to observationswith R2 adjusted greater than 0.7 and with standard errors of estimation and the absolute average error in the minimum values.
En este estudio, se presenta el desarrollo de modelos para el diseño de filtros anaerobios de flujo ascendente separados en dos y tres fases, DI-FAFS y TRI-FAFS; evaluando el rendimiento de eliminación de DQO para un total de 54 pruebas. Los factores experimentales son: lacarga orgánica volumétrica, la temperatura y la relación de profundidad entre dos fases consecutivas. El modelo conceptual se basa enecuaciones derivadas de un balance de masa en condiciones estacionarias dS / dt = 0 y advectivas dS/dZ ≠ 0; ocho ecuaciones aplicables alos reactores DI-FAFS y TRI-FAFS; cuatro ecuaciones para cada reactor. Las ecuaciones para obtener los parámetros de degradación dela materia orgánica se compararon con referencias bibliográficas. Dos modelos fueron seleccionados y propuestos, después de ajustadas aobservaciones con R2ajustado mayor que 0.7 y con errores estándar de estimación y el error promedio absoluto en los minimos valores.
