Abstract:The study aimed to evaluate the performance of drip irrigation systems with the application of wastewater from cassava processing with different concentrations of suspended solids, by determining the Christiansen’s uniformity coefficient (CUC). The experiment was conducted at an agroindustry in the West of Paraná, Brazil, where 6 irrigation systems were installed (varying between two hydraulic loads and three concentrations of suspended solids in the wastewater applied), operated at different time periods. Thirty trials were performed for each treatment and the flow of the drippers was collected using the methodology of Keller and Karmeli. In general, the irrigation systems demonstrated an excellent performance regarding uniformity of distribution of the wastewater, for which all the coefficients were above 90%. The increase in the process capability index showed to be directly proportional to the increase in uniformity of distribution, which enables us to check if the system is able to sustain adequate levels of uniformity.
