English title:	Physical-chemical and microbial parameters relationship of domestic wastewater treated by UASB reactor in biogas generation process
Spanish title:	Relaci�n de par�metros f�sico-qu�micos y microbianos de aguas residuales dom�sticas tratadas por reactor UASB en proceso de generaci�n de biog�s
English abstract:	Biogas is a biofuel little used in Latin America, especially in Colombia. Its generation through anaerobic processes is an environmental alternative not only as a biofuel, but also because using methane contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This work analyzes the relationship between physical-chemical and microbiological parameters that influence the generation of methane in anaerobic treatment processes such as Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) of Municipal Wastewater. Thus, the operation of UASB reactors in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga is initially exposed, based on a bibliometric analysis on the subject. Second, the physical-chemical-microbiological characterization is presented, carried out during the first semester of 2021, of municipal wastewater samples, taken from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Floridablanca, Colombia. Among the results obtained from the analysis, the determination of total and fecal coliforms, microbial consortiums in the anaerobic digestion process, together with the averages of pH, Temperature, Alkalinity, sediment solids with an average removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 60 %. Finally, it concludes with the comparison and relational analysis of the values obtained in the characterization with those found in the current literature until July 2021.
