In this work, the parametric optimization of real domestic wastewater treated in an activated sludge sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was performed by means of the response surface methodology (RSM). The influences of influent organic matter concentration as chemical oxygen demand (CODᵢₙf), biomass concentration (Xₛ) and aeration time (t) on the COD, organic matter removal efficiency as COD (η) and sludge volume index (SVI) were determined to evaluate the performance of activated sludge SBR. The results showed that organic matter efficiency and maximum SVI were obtained at a t of 12 h, 300 mg L⁻¹ of CODᵢₙf and 2000 mg L⁻¹ of Xₛ. The SBR-activated sludge exhibited a η of 73% and an SVI of 119 mL g⁻¹. Both values indicated a very good performance. Furthermore, the COD of the effluent under these conditions complied with Mexican regulations for wastewater discharged into water bodies.
