In this research, the treatment of domestic wastewater was studied using a worm system made up of earthworms of the Eisenia Foetida species with coffee bean as substrate and complementary filter media of sand and gravel. The system consisted of 4 reactors, the first consisting of coffee grounds and earthworms, the second 10mm sand reactor, the third reactor with ½”- ¾” gravel and the fourth reactor with gravel of 3cm - 4cm in size. The system, built on a pilot scale, treated the wastewater from the pre-treatment of the Research Center for the Treatment of Wastewater and Hazardous Waste of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering of the National University of Engineering. The evaluation period was divided into three stages according to the variation in the work flow; the start-up stage was made up of 10 weeks, stage I with 8 weeks and stage II made up for 10 weeks. During the study different parameters were measured to determine the treatment efficiency not only of the complete vermifilter system but also that of each reactor that formed it. The parameters monitored were mainly the temperature of the residual water, the environment, pH, turbidity, conductivity, solids, nitrates, total BOD and soluble BOD. The total BOD5 and soluble BOD5 efficiency percentages were 96% and 92% for respectively. The Suspended Solids and Volatile Suspended Solids efficiency percentages were 72% and 84% respectively. Finally, it was possible to conclude that there is a relationship between the operational variable work flow and the behavior of the earthworm of the Eisenia Foetida species in the coffee-borne substrate, which in turn influences the removal results of domestic wastewater treatment raw.
