Abstract

Experiences of research and implementation of sustainable sanitation systems have been developed in several countries since the 70's. For this, it is necessary that the wastewater generated be treated to levels that do not af-fect the environment to which they are dumped and to achieve a sustainable treatment, it is necessary to carry out a project that addresses the development of a process of biological treatment of waste water with low energy consumption and environmental impact. We present a proposal not yet implemented that integrates knowledge from the basic sciences, advancing to the concepts provided by the Sanitary Engineering, in the last year of the Civil Engineering career. We will work particularly with the students of the last level of the race. From physics we will contribute the study of the physical properties of the samples obtained and the analysis of the behavior of the fluid under study.
