The present research is conducted in order to evaluate the functional of the UASB reactors, analyzing the efficiency of removal of organic matter by anaerobic microorganisms to recirculate rates of 10%, 20% and 40% of the effluent flow. The system was designed at laboratory scale and was located on the premises of the Wastewater Treatment and Hazardous Waste National University of Engineering Center (CITRAR-UNI), in the city of Lima Peru. The wastewater used in research comes from the pretreatment plant of the CITRAR. The system consisted of a homogenizer tank which fed two UASB reactors; the first is called RCR (Reactor with Recirculation) and the second RSR (Reactor without Recirculation). The evaluation of the system was divided into three stages: start, first (summer) and second stage (winter) during a monitoring period of 38 weeks. In the first and second Step the RCR operated at recirculation rates of 10%, 20% and 40% with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 9.09, 8.33 and 7.14 hours, while the RSR operated at a constant rate with a HRT of 10 hours. The sampling was made in three points: one sample in the influent and two in the effluent of each reactor. The parameters analyzed were COD, BOD, TSS, VSS, temperature, pH and turbidity. In the second stage the RCR, operating at a recirculation rate of 10%, and HRT of 9.09 hours, achieved removal efficiencies of 75.59% for COD, 85.27% for BOD, 96.68% for TSS and produced an average volume of biogas of 607.05 mlCH4/day at a temperature of 19.3 °C and 101.3 kpa of pressure. The primary treatment in a UASB reactor with variable recirculation rates is an alternative for removing the organic load and total suspended solids, applied to areas with similar climate of Lima, optimizing the treatment for a recirculation rate of 10% and 20% in summer seasons, and a rate of 20% in winter seasons comparing with a conventional reactor operating at a constant rate.
