The waters of the irrigation canals of the Chancay district are being polluted due to the low sanitation coverage; as a result of the discharge of untreated industrial wastewater from washing chicken cage, domestic and municipal water discharge; this generates quality problems associated with microbiological and organic contamination of its waters. These discharged waters have a higher concentration of thermotolerant coliforms that exceed the standards established for irrigation water quality. For this reason, clams have the capacity to filter liters of water per hour; through their diet, they reduce thermotolerant coliforms through digestion, providing them with energy and obtaining nutrients from suspended particles. The objective of this project was to evaluate the percentage reduction of thermotolerant coliforms through the application of a biofilter with freshwater clams. For the installation of the biofilter, the custom-made steel mesh of the metal gate was placed, which will be located in the slit of the same channel. Then, the reducer of noble material was added, adhered to the metal slit, making the connection with the PVC pipe using special glue. Then, the clam filter was placed inside the irrigation channel by gluing the PVC pipes with outlet to the same channel after placing a ball valve. The treatment consisted of the application of 180 clams of the “Anodontites Trapecialis“ species from a tilapia fish farm in the locality of Shucshuyacu, which were distributed from 15 to 30 for the different treatments; these were deposited in a prototype filter for a period of 6 to 12 hours, with a controlled flow of 100 to 150 l/s with a ball valve. The membrane filtration method was used to determine the concentration of thermotolerant coliforms. Thus, using 30 freshwater clams in a period of 12 hours showed a greater effectiveness in reducing the concentration of thermotolerant coliforms, achieving a reduction of 1203.33 NMP/100 ml as opposed to the other treatments applied. Therefore, for future water treatment works for the reduction of microorganisms, the possibility of pretreatment should be evaluated in order to retain the greater amount of contaminating particles concentrated in the water to be treated and to prevent the clams from becoming saturated in their process of reduction of thermotolerant coliforms.
