Impacts of tropical climate on outdoor treatment of anaerobically digested sanitary wastewater using native microalgae.

ABSTRACT: Microalgal technologies interact with other processes, enabling treatment systems to remove nutrients and pollutants while facilitating the reuse of final effluents. However, the development of these systems in various climates and their specific characteristics has been poorly studied. The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of different tropical seasons within the Cerrado Biome on effluent treatment in a closed photobioreactor using a consortium of native microalgae. Cultivation was performed on a bench scale using anaerobically digested sanitary wastewater processed by two mechanisms from the wastewater treatment plant in Bauru, Brazil: the Upflow Anaerobic Filter (UAF) and the Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR). The cultivation took place in an outdoor area with constant
