Descriptor Spanish: Tratamiento Terciario
Descriptor tratamiento terciario
Entry term(s) tratamiento avanzado
Scope note: Se utiliza para completar la eliminación de contaminantes no suficientemente reducidos en el nivel secundario de tratamiento y/o la eliminación de compuestos no biodegradables, de nutrientes, de contaminantes tóxicos y/o específicos, de metales pesados, de sólidos inorgánicos disueltos y sólidos en suspensión remanentes, y de microorganismos patógenos. Sólo en condiciones muy específicas en el tratamiento de aguas residuales domésticas, o cuando se pretende utilizar el efluente del tratamiento en algunas de las formas de reutilización de agua, el grado de eficiencia terciaria es exigido. El nivel terciario podrá ser obtenido por medio de la combinación entre algunos de los procesos descritos en el nivel secundario, cuando se desea la reducción complementaria de materia orgánica, de nutrientes y de microorganismos. Sin embargo, lo más común es que las unidades descritas en el grado secundario de tratamiento biológico se complementen con otras tecnologías de tratamiento para alcanzar el nivel terciario.

Scope note: Used to complete the removal of insufficiently reduced pollutants at the treatment secondary level of and/or nonbiodegradable compounds removal of, nutrients, toxic and/or specific pollutants, heavy metals, dissolved inorganic solids and suspended solids, and pathogenic microorganisms. Merely under very specific conditions in the domestic wastewater treatment, or when the treatment effluent is to be used in some forms of water reuse, the degree of tertiary efficiency is required. The tertiary level can be obtained by combining some of the processes described at the secondary level, when complementary reduction of organic matter, nutrients and micro-organisms is desired. However, the most common is that the units described in the secondary degree of biological treatment are complemented with other treatment technologies to achieve the tertiary level.
