The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the gravel filter, aluminum sulfate and activated carbon in the elimination of detergents from urban wastewater in the city of Cajamarca. Methods: The characterization of urban residual water and the monitoring for the following parameters were carried out: detergents (SAAM), pH and turbidity. The sample was obtained from an industrial washing machine. Results: The gravel filter, aluminum sulfate and activated carbon, is effective in removing detergents from urban wastewater in the city of Cajamarca; since, 22.55% of the detergents and 98.51% of the turbidity were eliminated. Conclusions: Finally, the removal of detergents through the coagulant and a gravel and carbon filter was demonstrated.
