Diseño de una Planta de Potabilización para la comunidad de Tuntatacto parroquia San Andrés Cantón Guano.

Abstract

This research work deals with the design of a Purification Water Plant for the town of Tuntatacto in San Andrés, city of Guano, province of Chimborazo. Experimental method and sampling technique were used. Four simple a moth were taken both sunny and rainy days. Taken samples were analyzed base to Standard Methods and Hach Processing Manual using gravimetric, volumetric and instrumental techniques. Three parameters over norm were determined at collecting water with values of 0.89 mg/L of phosphate, 6.1 of pH, 200 UFC7100 mL of Total Coliformes after characterization of water. Base to above information, a purification water System is proposed resulting 0.17 mg/L of phosphate, 7.86 of pH and 0 UFC/100 mL of Total Coliforms according to Ecuadorian norm NTE INEN 1108:2006 Second Check- out. It is concluded that the proposed Treatment System will have five stages: simple sedimentation, slow filtration of zeolite, quick mix of polichloride of aluminum, horizontal flow floculator, and desinfecction. Removal factor of purification water plant is 86.16%, this shows the plant effectiveness on extraction of mineral salts and pathogen microorganisms in water collected. It is recommended to Municipal Autonomous Government of Guano to implement the purification water System in order to guarantee the water quality consumed by people of Tuntatacto.
