Abstract
This research considers the use of cocoa shell as a biofilter material applied in the treatment of wastewater from the dairy industry. This is a highly developed industry in Ecuador and the limited availability of industrial wastewater treatment plants in the country due to the costs associated with its implementation and operation. A biofilter was designed using cocoa shell as a bed and important results were obtained in the reduction of organic matter and suspended solids in the treated wastewater. However, the values do not reach those established in the applicable national environmental regulations, so the implementation is suggested in accompaniment with preliminary treatment.
