At the beginning of the nineties the colombian beer industry begun the application of anaerobic technology for the treatment of their wastewater efluents through different regions of the country. These treatment plants have not been working appropriately due to different factors, and are creating concern among the industrial sector and the water pollution control agencies. This work constitutes the second phase of a research project designed to establish a selection and improvement criteria of the sludges used in the systems. It also looks to analyze other associated factors such as: waste characteristics, operation conditions and design parameters. The investigation was conducted in two phases using granular and flocculent sludges. This method was used for determining the anaerobic biodegradability of wastewater from two industrial plants.

Desde comienzos de la década de los noventa la industria cervecera del país ha venido implementando tecnologías anaerobias, particularmente del tipo UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket), para el tratamiento de las aguas residuales de sus plantas industriales en diferentes regiones del país. Por diferentes razones estas instalaciones están funcionando con algunas deficiencias, lo cual es motivo de preocupación tanto para el sector industrial como para las entidades de control. El presente artículo constituye la segunda parte de una investigación encaminada a establecer criterios para la selección y mejoramiento de los lodos utilizados en estos sistemas. También se busca analizar la influencia de otros factores asociados como características del desecho, condiciones de operación y parámetros de diseño. El estudio se desarrolló en dos etapas, en las que se emplearon lodo granular y lodo floculento para evaluar la degradabilidad de los residuos líquidos de dos plantas cerveceras. Igualmente, se incluyó el lodo propio de una de esas instalaciones.
